I have been looking at the micro fence plunge base with a Bosch Colt or an OF1010 festool router. I don't have any other festool accessories such as rails and I don't intend to get any either except for the edge trimming accessories. My only other handheld router is a PC690 multi-base kit.
The festool router can take 1/4" and 8mm bits, while the Bosch only takes 1/4" bits. The colt can be removed from the plunge base and used with it's other auxilliary bases. Dust collection should be good with both routers. I have heard that the festool has bit visibility issues. The festool has accessories that allow for it to be used in a horizontal orientation.
Has anybody else gone through this comparison? If you own these routers, what do you think?
