Do any of the small palm routers come with a base plate that will except guide bushings? I just got thru making one for my Craftsman palm router out of a scrap of lexan. I made an easy adjustable jig to cut biscuit slots using my router and my large router is too bulky for this job. I may never again use biscuits so could see no need to waste money purchasing a biscuit cutter which is not a universal or multi use tool.

If you can't find one, it's easy enough to make a base plate that will accept P-C style guide bushings. Check the sizes on a factory base but I think I used 2 forstner bits, 1 3/16" and 1 3/8" Start with the 1 3/8" drill about 1/8" deep then flip over and drill through with the 1 3/16"

The Bosch Colt has an optional baseplate that accepts those standard guide bushings. The new DeWalt 611 accepts them.

The new Dewalt 611 does.

The new DeWalt 611 accepts them and you can get an adapter for the Bosch Colt.:D:D
