Good morning,
I hate to bring up a topic that is probably beat to death, but the complaints of adapting the Bosch 1617 to guide bushings seem to be many.
As a new person to dovetails, boxjoints etc and routing I am attempting to determine which guide bushing method is stable and centered, and that is the problem with all the reading I have done. The choice seems to be a new baseplate or an RA1129 adapter. The complaints on both are many and the attempt to find a solution appears to be ongoing. The biggest complaint is are the RA1129 quick release is not stable and the new baseplates are not centered.
What would you suggest is the current best method of adapting the Bosch 1617EVS to guide bushings? Are PC or Bosch guides better? Would you think the RA1129 and RA1100 (PC bushing adapter) are a better combo than the Bosch guides?
thanks for any help
Donny
