thank you for your advice.

>trim bit with a bearing, and routed the Lucite both outside
I tried to do it. But I failed perfectly.
A cause is that a centre of gravity is out of a work-piece ( I did not put pieace which is as same height as acrylic plate at the another side of work-piece). So I try again.
Thank you for cherring me up.

Yes, I post about the end of a shipping-story.

A office in Japan mailed me that they will get sub-base for me. "******(I asked my sister how to say in English.),so you should adjust about matter between two offices."
I wonder why they do not corresponde between them.

Disappointed

Jan.30, I got base-plate which is made arrangement for ship(import) by BD Office in Japan.
It is convex base plate which is a same as I have.

Oh, my Buddha...

Benny, I'm sorry to hear of this news. Frustrating I know. Have you considered looking at Oak Park, like Mike had made an earlier suggestion on? These are phenolic plates and are flat.

Yes, I think Oak Park's base is the BEST.
A reason why I hesitate to buy it is that plate does not look like "see through".
I want to watch router bit and jig. Because I worry that I will rout where I should not rout.
But I can not find easily what I want.
So.. I am thinking to but it now.

Thank you for your advices.

Mike

Benny, have you tried using your router the way it is? If not, please do so. I know it does not seem like it will work but please try. I will be on the phone with PC later today.

Hi Benny

I just don't get it, why would you want to have a "see through" plate, I can see it on a plunge router BUT on a router table why ,most of the work is done on the top of the table and all you want to see is the bit, you can buy many after market clear base plates to fit your router base that are flat and true.

If you want one that will not sag and that is flat and you can see through it, pickup some 1/2" plastic and make your own.

Today was opening day for a new Lowes store near me. I picked up the display model PC 893 router and sure enough the clear sub base plates on both the plunge and fixed base were way off. There was about .015" gap between the router base and the sub base plate on one, the other would make a good pattern for a rocking horse. Now that I have seen the flaw I understand completely. I contacted PC today and do not expect a response until Monday. The new PC routers seem to have very poor quality control so lets all send a big thank you to B&D for ruining a good thing.

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.
