Bosch Router Mtg Hole Question

[Greatwhitewing]

I just got the MRC23EVSK router and aluminum mounting plate 9334 from MLCS.

The plate has hole patterns (just center drilled, not drilled through) for Bosch 1617 and 1618 routers. Are those holes the same as the MRC23EVSK router?

That hole pattern is also used for Porter Cable, Milwaukee and some Dewalt routers.

Bumping this before it gets buried.

Anyone?

Found this on one of the products descriptions:

"Fixed base has threaded holes for mounting to router table positioned in Bosch 4-hole pattern and common 3-hole pattern."

You might also just take a piece of tracing paper (or just thin copy paper), put it on the router and "color" around the outer edge of the base and mounting holes, then put it up against your aluminum plate to make sure they line up.

The answer was easier than I thought. The baseplate on the router is clear plastic so I can just remove it and hold it up the aluminum plate.

Hehe, sometimes the simplest answer is the correct answer, but really hard to find!
