I need a router that accepts 5/16" guide bars for a trammel accessory. Does this unit have accessory holes of that size? Thank you

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.

I got rid of this unit when I received a DeWalt of the same. The only difference in the two was the DeWalt has a light. The Dewalt has the holes but I cant say about the PC, sorry

No. Bosch colt will only accept 1/4" collet. This is 1/2". I have THREE of these now. Same number of Router Raizer( same company) for larger routers these are great! Only got this on 5/24/15. Sorry for delayed response. Hope this helps!

I would download the manual at: http://www.incra.com/manuals/MastRLiftII_Manual.pdf and there is a table of routers on page 3. Now I don't see the DeWalt listed there. However, the design of the four clamping blocks (each with four mounting holes) and their mating holes in the frame (7 holes) gives 28 different possible diameters and it is well within reason to bet that unless your router is unusually FAT or THIN it there should be one combo that will work and allow proper clamping. It is an elegant solution. Also, you might want to contact the JessEM folks (who make it for the INCRA label) at the number on the face of the manual and ask. They do make different mounting blocks to accommodate other router motor body sizes. They could tell you which set you needed for your model if the "stock" ones don't work. Honestly, once I saw how they did this, you could drill custom holes in the block with a drill press if you needed to adapt them and were inclined to DIY. You might look up the specs for the body diameters of some of the one's they DO list in the table. If your router body falls near one of them, you would probably find that it would work.

If you can find a 1/8 inch collet for it. Most routers only come with 1/4 inch collets

Yes, I have the DW618PK router and the brass inlay kit fits perfectly in the base of the plunge router.

James, I don't see why not. The 1/4" plunge shaft request a 1/4" bits. The Edge guide must fit your router, because the mounting plate will fit 1/4" as well as 1/2". Regards

Sorry, no idea. You need to determine the diameter of the internal opening of the base plate for your router and see if it is the same as these guides. The guides are made to the (pretty universal) Porter Cable dimensions, but many routers need either adapters or alternative base plates. For example, Rockler make a universal base plate which will work with many routers.

I think no. The faceplate of the router has a 3 1/4 inch center hole, where the porter cable type bushings are for a router with a 1 3/16 center hole. The router comes with a metal guide that attaches to the base and provides this need without guide bushings. I do not use guide feature, as this unit is for a router table in my shop, so it did not bother me. note the large center hole in pictures of this unit. you will simply see that there is no way it would work with the guide bushings.Sorry.

I looked at the 1817, and it looks like all other routers. Take the face plate off and use the same bolts to mount the router to the table. The table has various mounting holes, just find the pattern that fits your router properly. JS

It comes with 1/4" & 1/2" collets. Not sure if this is what you mean. It has variable speed & plenty of power so it should handle any standard routing job.

Hello Scott,The routed edges should be ok with our mount. As long as the routing's not too deep. I would recommend the maximum depth for the routing to be 1/2".Please let me know if you have any additional questions.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

It is on the small side for a plunge router. It is designed to clamp to a work surface. The base is made of MDF. Plunge router might be too heavy for this. Trim router works great.

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.

This mounts to the router itself. The base of the router should have 2 holes through it for the black rods with this kit. The guide can be used to route straight lines to make fluted material and whatever else may be needed.

Hi Pam, There are 2 styles of AbCrunch. One uses a 1/4" detent pin (2000, 3000, XL, XLS, Fit) and the hole on the glide rails match this. The other uses a 5/16" detent pin and is a little different in size. I am not certain the hole size on the Elite, but if you check this you can order the correct one. This listing on Amazon is for the 1/4" pin version. However, if you find you need the 5/16" version I have some nice condition used ones. If you order from my SeattleGye "used" listing and tell me you need the 5/16" pins I can ship those as well.

I think you are limited to the 1/4" collet. Then again, it is a "compact" router so you don't want to use this great tool for heavy duty routing anyway (larger bits than 1/4"; and big jobs with harder woods). Check it out here: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-routers-dwp611pk.aspx

Yes, That is the router I used to make butterfly inlays. Worked very nicely, just be sure to use the centering tool to adjust the base.
