I broke my base plate today and have been looking all over for a clear base plate for this router. The only one I can find doesn't accept the standard guide bushings. All of the universal ones are drilled for every router in the world but this one for some reason. Does any one have any suggestions where I can find one at. I would have loved to find a plunge base for this router but they are 130 plus shipping. If I am going to spend that much I'll just buy a whole new kit. This is what I am looking for.

How about finding a plastic supplier and crafting your own? Here is St. Louis, there is a company that I buy "discards" from real cheep.

Thanks Will that's exactly what I was looking for. I found this and do like the dust collection attachment. I do wish it was clear though.

I you Google "making a router base plate" you'll find out how to make your own. It's not hard.

I have dust collection for Milwaukee and 2 different Bosch routers.
If I had to choose between dc and clear base, I'd go with clear.

+1 on Pat Warner if he makes a base for that model. Premium quality products come from that man's hands.

I would like to go with the Pat warner base but I really need to get these cutting boards done quick so if I order the Rockler one it will be here in a few days, and I am starting to think that I might just say screw it and stop spending money on these other routers I have and get a festool.
