Hello folks. I am new to the forum and am putting things together to start a trim project here at our home. I have very little router experience and am looking for a bit of guidance on how I should proceed. I have ordered a Bosch 1617EVSPK which will likely arrive today. I have a Vermont American table that a friend gave me but I am not certain it will work as it is. I have inspected all surfaces and cannot find a label with a model number. I believe after doing some research that it is a model 23463 but is unconfirmed. The problem is the mounting plate is missing. I tracked it down to Bosch now being the owner of Vermont American and have not been able to get a definitive answer from their customer support folks. Here is a pic of the unit
and from underneath
and even though it is a bit distorted from the angle of taking the picture the apparent inlay for the plate is 7 1/2" square. I have not been able to make sense of acquiring a universal plate or an original for that matter. This is likely a real simple thing to those in the know but it has me a bit stymied. I am not sure if putting energy into resolving and rehabbing this old incomplete table is prudent or just find a different option.
hoping I have created this thread and images properly, please excuse if something is not quite right.
