I had a meeting at the old shop a couple of weeks ago, and my former apprentice was in need of a sub base that could hold a Poter Cable bushing. I took a few measurements and essentially duplicated the original, just the opening.
He had come up with the idea of a couple of holes, to screw a small edge guide to it. I modified that into slots.
Prototyped an MDF version to test fitment, then acrylic final, with some flair. why not

Very nice. I just picked up the 620 DeWalt 20v router and so far like it. My first job was to cut cut out a round table top for a Christmas tree. Perfect tool for the job. Didn't need to constantly unravel a cord.

He likes them too. I think my style rubbed off on him, in our time together. I think he has 3 of them. He's pretty split between DW and Milwaukee. He's got one of the full-sized Mil cordless routers too, but not the small ones.
I don't like them myself. Nothing against the performance, they're fine. I don't like the bigger diameter.
