1400 router \ porter and cable

[JHouse]

hello all I'm new to this group so be kind please    I've just got the 1400 router and I'm trying to use it with my Porter and Cable dove tail jig.
the problem I've got is I can't get a 19.5 copy ring!
has anyone else got the same problem and have they found a solution ?
I have found a adapter plate from  Leigh but i don't know if the porter cable copy ring will fit!  cant find the dims of the hole !

all the best

The Porter Cable bushings will fit in the guide bushing adapter (part number 493566) which typically comes with the 1400. The one problem that I've read is that the adapter has a tendency to shift and is unable to be centered with a mandrel, so do some test runs with your setup to ensure it works out well first. I believe the Leigh ones allow the adjustment if you need that flexibility.

hi thanks for your very quick reply, I've just cheeked the plate adapter and its only coming up the the 2200 router plate.
I've been told by Festool this wont fit the 1400!

I am new too --
However, what I can share is that I use a IGM/Trend Dovetail Jig FD 300.  I am using a plate adapter from Trend, which can hold the copy-ring (15.8 mm) that I need with the jig. Have a look at the Sauter shop - UK
