I am curious if my router base hole of 1 3/4" is large enough to accommodate this product. I read where that is the minimum, but is it < than that?

Thomajc: the extension measures 1 7/16 so it would fit the whole in you base. The extension also raises high enough to clear the base to allow for bit changes.

What do you mean by "router base hole of 1 3/4 in"? You mean depth of hole? If so, the answer is yes, sure.

You should be able to use it - but, you would have to manually lower your bit - in order to cut a circle out of material - if your just using it to make a shallow design (etc.) - my suggestion is to purchase a plunge base for your older router.

We use it in all of our routers using a 1/4 inch collet. We have several different brands of routers, this set works with all of them. As long as your base plate will accept the pattern guide it should work for you. Hope this helps.

The phenolic insert comes without mounting holes. You have to drill your own, so if the router is smaller than the size of the insert you should be fine. It does state fits any router.

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

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

No, Router bits for1/2" has a larger diameter shaft/shank which is 1/2" and uses 1/2" collet. If you desire to use 1/4" router bit which has a 1/4" diameter shaft/shank, than you need to change the collet to accommodate a 1/4" bit. Is money well spend to have a 1/4" collet.

Just about any trim router will fit. The base that comes with the table has pre drilled holes that line up with most trim router bases. If you have a plunge router it should have come with a fixed base that should fit. I never tried a plunge base. Hope this helps.

Hi Gregory. Don't know if you've already received a response, but the hole needs to be 3/4".

I have a fixed base B&D; router. It fit mine. There are many hole combinations it's almost guaranteed to fit. It will be the best money you spend.

I used it on a sears Router, the 3 pattern holes didn't match up. Had to drill 2 of the holes

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.

The table extension on the right side is a plastic laminate, and I can't tell if you can easily cut the holes you need for the router. I wouldn't recommend it. There are four clearance holes on the left side of the top casting. You could easily design a router table mounting scheme using these holes. I would want it to be easily removable because otherwise it would interfer with sawing larger pieces.

Just make sure whatever router you decide to buy can handle the 1/2" shank on the dovetail router bit that comes with the jig. I believe most Bosch routers can handle 1/2" shanks (my own can an it's a Bosch, but I forget the model number).

There are no pre-drilled holes for a router. It mount by inclosing around the router. You can check JessEm's website for what routers will work and what you might need to work with your router.

Hello, No but you can easily drill your own holes. Just center the base-plate on your router, secure it with tape or clamps, mark where the holes of the router are onto the base, remove and drill holes. Then countersink the bottom side so that the screw heads fall below the surface. Thanks

It should work because you have to drill mounting holes to match the base plate of the router you are using.
