It arrived Monday. Last night I had a chance to get it assembled, not a lot to do but add the small diameter circle attachment and drop the 310 in. I will be cutting rosettes this weekend so Ill give a report then on how well it works.
What I can say now is that its built like a tank, to very tight tolerances. The 310 dropped right in, but was a perfect snug fit. The fine adjustment knob works great, as does the plunge took. Its a well built jig.

Here are a few images I took last night.

[QUOTE=LanceK] not a lot to do but add the small diameter circle attachment and drop the 310 in.[/QUOTE] Could you expand on that? I see the attachment - does it come with the base by default or is it something extra you needed to order?

The little attachment was 10.00, it moves the centering pin closer to the bit.

Nice looking jig. I've got a Bosch colt - any way to know if it will in that jig?

I'm pretty sure its made just for the PC 310 and the Dremel. Two different models.
You can follow the link I posted above and see what is available, maybe even give Bishop a call, maybe he can do custom apps?

Sturdy looking, PC probably cuts truer than the Dremel. Is it as heavy as it looks? Clinton

Its hefty, not to much so, but enough to not bounce around when you turn it on. One thing I noticed imeadiatly was the 310 and how smooth it ran.

I recently picked up a PC310 after throwing a cheap laminate router in the trash bin due to runout. It's SMOOOOOTH! Don't tell SWMBO!!!

if the 310 base is as good as the dremel base it will be very good indeed. i have lusted after one since it was first announced but could never justify spending the $$$$$. then i lost out on an ebay auction where one went for $150



then i saw the microfence 310 base. has anyone laid hands or eyes on the this base for 310's and others. i have only seen the ad hype, and it looks very impressive, as does its price unfortunately, but i have not heard from anyone who has laid eyes or hands on one. does anyone have any first hand knowledge? crazymanmichael39106.9399537037
