A friend at work gave me a Bosch 1613EVS that he bought about 12 years ago. It was used for one project and has since been collecting dust in his garage. I've been letting that process continue in mine. But I decided because it is plunge only, and has such a small bit opening,to make it a dedicated handheld router. I wanted to upgrade it a little with a larger sub base and make it compatible with standard PC guides
. I have a large used piece of 1/2" polycarbonate I could use for the base. But when I started planning how to make opening for the guide.. I realized I have a Hitachi combo kit that I bought a second fixed base for, so I'd have one for the table. 3 bases = 3 Hitachi/PC guide adapters
. So I cut the recess to fit the adapter rather than the guide. That way it can be removed to allow room for a slightly larger bit. So I have Bosch router with a Hitachi adapter to fit Porter Cable guides
