Hi,
I have a Bosch 1617EVS with both a fixed and plunger base.
I have previously relied on roller bearing template bits when using template guides, but just bought a fixture that is designed for use with traditional style guide bushing inserts.
I have been reading about centering guide bushings with conical mandrels etc. and would like to make sure that the guide bushing I will use is precisely centered.
I want to use the Bosch plunger base with the fixture. Its base plate is designed with a crude quick release bushing system, and the plate does not seem to have a provision for subtle centering adjustments.
This seems like s good occasion to seek out and purchase a new base plate to dedicate for the use of the guide bushing.
I have found a listing for the Jasper Tools M 575B Router Base Plate Adapter, which says it fits the 1617 plunger base.
I writing to ask for recommendations for other base plates I might consider.
Thank you.
