Does this router accept the Porter Cable style template kits? Do I need the clear base to use the templates?

Not with the one that comes with it. You need the full round clear type base and it takes the bushes. :)

I think you mean the template guides not the template. You will need the round extra base to fit standard North American guides.

The two holes at the end of the plate bolt to the aluminum under the baseplate of the router. Will only work for specific Dewalt Routers. You need to take the plastic base off the bottom of the router.

The router uses the Porter-Cable Guide Bushings or the universal Guide bushings. The Porter-Cable bushings are available through Amazon as well as the universal guide bushings. G. Bates

No, it will not work with the base that comes with the router. You will have to get a base with a 15/16 opening

No. It requires a special Bosch adapter to then use templates. I'd suggest a Porter Cable palm grip for template work. Thats what I'm now looking at.

Yes you can, but you will need to take the router table insert and mark out for new holes to match up with the base of the Mikita router. The router table insert will then become the new base plate for the router and all of the Makita base plates are no longer usable.

I cannot answer these two questions without removing the router from its housing in my router table--way too much trouble, as once it is in place, it stays there. I recommend that you contact Porter Cable directly and get this information.

Yes. It comes with the necessary router bits and template guides, or collet as some would call it. The router bits themselves are the specialty item. The two template guides are just a standard item most router kits come with, easily available part.

Hi Ben... Absolutely... Just make sure that you have the correct collet that fits the shank of the bit(s). If you don't have the correct collet you can get one at Amazon or you local Home Depot. You also need to need to make sure that the guide bushings that come with the bit set will fit the base of your router. I have the same set and use it with my Porter-Cable or equivalent base. Again... You can get one at Home Depot or on Amazon to fit your set. M. Watson, JANVS WOODWORKS

There are four 5/16" holes in the Porter Cable plunge base. They are 3 1/4" on center. I didn't get a guide with the router but I assume that the holes are for the guide attachment.

Yes the bases for both the trim router and the plunge router are able to utilize standard Porter Cable guide bushings. If you purchase the accessory D shaped base it does not accept bushings.

I am not familiar with this model router from Porter Cable, so I can not be 100% positive that this will work with it. However this is a universal plate and you will need to drill holes to accept your router anyway. It should work with any router that has a base that screws on. There are even set up rings on the plate to help with alignment. You can even drill an extra set of holes for another router if you need to. This is a great product, I feel confident you will be very happy with this purchase.

My kit has 2.5" and 1.5". Easily mounted my Porter Cable 7529 plunge router, has numerous holes so I would think it is universal. I would also recommend getting additional letter/number kits if you need several repeats.

Yes, I use that router with this table. The table comes with the correct plate to attach the router

This will not work with that router. It is deigned to work with routers where the motor separates from the base such as Bosch and portercable
