Guide bushings and palm routers

[Anthony Whitesell]

Is the a palm router (Bosch Colt or similar) that accepts guide bushings?

I looked at the Dewalt and the Bosch palm routers in Lowe's, and it doesn't say they do nor does it look like they do. But I was hoping that someone here knew definitively or knew of a model that does accept them.

The DWP611PK that I have uses STD bushings, it has become my go to router for hand use.

The Bosch Colt, as it comes, does not accept guide bushings, but you can buy an accessory sub-base that will accept standard guide bushings:

+1 on the DWP611. I have one in my CNC router and another for hand work.

The pc routers do. If you want a router but it doesnt except you can always go Pat Warner for an upgrade.

Bought my Colts back when that much power in that light a package was a one of a kind. I never used the stock base plates. I bought Pat Warner base plates and had them made for PC template collars. Later I got the Bosch adapter for the plunge base as I didn't want to give up the larger hole. The adapter goes on and off allowing PC collars or larger bits without having to re-center the base plate.
