But I can not find easily what I want.
So.. I am thinking to but it now.

Thank you for your advices.
Benny, the plates from Oak Park aren't "see through". I do understand your reason behind wanting to have one though. Guides and bearings will help keep you from routing where you don't want to.
As has been suggested before, you could make your own with acrylic/plastic. It would be just the matter of transferring the pattern over.

Mike, I don't know much about the PC's, so I was wondering, would the plates from one series to another be interchangable? Meaning, a plate from a 600 series to the 800? Of course, I don't believe that Benny should have to buy another plate, PC or B&D should be the one's responsible.
