GREAT IF you want to use the Harbor Freight or Delta router manual

How difficult is it? They made this gadget universal for just about any router you and I might have in the store! ignore all those letters, A, B, C, D. You just center it on your router's base (after removing the factory plastic base) and slowly rotate it once or twice. YOU WILL FIND the right screw holes! And with an exactly sized center hole (I already forgot the measurements) it fits right in with the brass rails you bought from Harbor Freight or Porter Cable or elsewhere! What is that? 1…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I don't remember

Fits Bosch 1617EVS Fixed Base and Bosch 1617EVSPK Submersible Base TRUST ME!

I just bought a Bosch 1617EVSPK from Revain. PK means kit, which includes both a fixed base and a diving base. I wanted the clear base to fit but the reviews are confusing: YES it fits and NO it doesn't match the reviews. Regarding reviews, some reviewers wouldn't get "es" if "es" were delivered to them in a box marked "es"! Note. You must order the 6-1/2" POWERTEC 71022 Universal Milling Bit if you want it to do both solid and plunge milling. How do I know this you ask? I just called Powertec,

Pros
  • Tough finish
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Overall diameter displayed incorrectly

This product (POWERTEC 71218) is shown alongside the POWERTEC 71022 and POWERTEC 7136 which are 6-1/2 inch in diameter. The POWERTEC 71218 stand has an overall diameter of 5-3/4" (not 6-1/2"). The product dimensions are also listed as 7 x 6 x 0.25 inches, but this is a circle. The thickness is right. Given the product showcase and the mix of models in the product questions/answers, it's easy to believe that (POWERTEC 71218) has a larger overall diameter. problem and the price of this product is

Pros
  • Convenient item

  • Volume

Bosch 1617EVSPK (RA1166 dive center)

Update: I bought a Jasper M575 to fit the dive center for Bosch and the hub fits perfectly. I downgraded this Powertec to 1 star because the inaccurate bushing bore size which creates backlash makes it almost unusable for their application. Will be returned. Initial rating: 3 stars. It took some time to find a router socket that fits the Bosch 1617EVSPK and specifically the RA1166 diving socket. This one apparently did, but the reviews here are conflicting. Here's another positive review that…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Weight

Ryobi lovers will want this.

To make a long story short, I was trying to find an accessory motherboard for my Ryobi ZRRE180PL1G 10 Amp 2 Peak HP Submersible Router. The ones I tried with pre-drilled holes didn't align properly on my router, and when I tried to drill new holes there was little room for error. I had two choices: buy another brand of router or keep looking. The hunt paid off. I finally found a base plate to use with my router. I give 5 stars for the following reasons. 1. It fits my router. Second, it took…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some small things

Does it fit a Triton router?

I bought this to install a Triton MOF001 router. The ad says this baseplate will fit my router but I was very disappointed after opening the package and realizing that this baseplate has no holes but lots of them and they match the holes on my original one Baseplate uses .platte in my router. LOOK AT! Remove the original base plate and you will find two almost opposite holes hidden under this base plate that line up exactly with the two holes in the new base plate. Powertec also included two…

Pros
  • Nice packaging

Fits my old master 320.17543!

PowerTec helped me again with this router support bush! After my old guide base was destroyed (I won't give reasons), I realized I needed a new one. I was starting to think I could make one out of plexiglass, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend time doing that instead of working on my project. I decided to see what Revain had to offer. Knowing that Craftsman tools are largely being discontinued, I was skeptical. I stumbled across this article, love PowerTec and read almost all the reviews…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
