question about omalley router

[topherchase]

Hello to all! Can anyone tell me if the omalley plunge router accepts the porter cable template guides? Thanks, Topher

Not positive but the same router sold under MLCS Marvel 60 brand does not but a second sub-base is included in the kit price that does.

You might want to read my review here before buying. About the time I wrote my review several forum members were returning their O'malley routers due to problems.

The O'Malley router will not accept PC guides with the standard baseplate and the Marvel 60 baseplate is slightly different and will not fit. You can purchase a universal plate from Woodcraft http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=4856 that will work. I have the O'Malley router mounted in a table and it works fine. No problems at all since I purchased it back in September of last year. I bought it to mount in a table and use it primarily for raising panels on cabinet doors and it's very well suited for that purpose. If you plan on mounting it in a table I recommend removing the plunge springs like Mark said.
