Jeff,

I like the Oak-Park base plates, but I got the guide bushings from lee valley.

Jeff, when it comes to routers Oak Park has the knowledgeable sales staff who can give you the correct answers the first time. They will know which base plate fits your router. They were the first to offer the larger size guide bushings in N.A. and carry the biggest size selection that I know of. In addition to that they also carry a nice assortment of templates for creating different shapes quick and easy. Before you make a purchase anywhere spend the time to check out the web site. I know I am glad I did. There is a link at the top of our home page.

I have a Ryobi and I was warned when I bought my dovetail jig that I would have trouble finding a base to fit it that used PorterCable standard bushings.
They were right.
Finally found one at Woodcraft that was perfect -- It's by Jasper 6.5" clear - with standard opening -- predrilled for a LARGE variety of routers.
I especially liked that it was specifcally predrilled - with matching holes -- not slots like some other 'universal' bases.

Harbor Freight just opened in my area. Opening day they gave free screwdriver sets at the door. The one thing I noticed was most of the tools and machines are made in China. I thought a Chinese Junk was a boat!
