Bosch Professional 1600Z0000G FSN OFA Guide Rail Adapter for All Routers

Great product that works with my Milwaukee router. Fits along the Bosch/Mafell track easily and securely and slides without hiccups. The micro-adjust is easy to use as well. The only difficult part was determining what mounting pattern to use, which just took some time to line things up. I'm using a Milwaukee 2838 M18 1/2" router (not the smaller trim router) and was worried for a minute I'd have to drill new holes. Luckily the Milwaukee fit into hole pattern B. However, both the bolts that come with the Milwaukee and the bolts that come with the adapter won't work (Milwaukee's bolts are round head, the adapter's flat head bolts are the wrong thread size) so you may need to buy a few metric bolts to make it work. For my Milwaukee I needed to get some M5 x 0.8 x 12mm flat-head bolts to bolt the router to the track adapter. Smooth sailing after that.

I really like this router base/adapter. it works well with my Powertec track saw guides. First I bought the powertec router adapter, but it did not fit my Ridgid router. Next I tried the Rockler version, but it cheaply made, plastic that would have made for inaccurate cuts. I finally found this one, it was shipped from Europe. Much better quality and fits my Ridgid R2900.

Fits the rail perfects and its accuracy and adjustability is on par with Festool.

I found this, sadly, after spending about $80 on the 3d printed base plates found elsewhere on amazon. Those things are flimsy, and one of mine came deformed and I didn't hear from the company for a solid month. This thing is a treat by comparison. It's accurate, solidly built, and supports every router I currently own (more on that in a minute) You will have to order it from Europe as for some reason they don't appear to sell it in the US. For this reason, the scant information about its compatibility with various routers is going to reflect the model designations for routers sold in the UK/EU. This caused me some trouble because there really is very little information on this product out there, even on bosch's own website (which is all kinds of broken, by the way) So I'll just leave this here as some useful information for those of you with the same use case as me: Yes, it fits the Bosch 1617 plunge base. Use the "A" holes, of which there will be 3 (out of the four M4 screws provided). Note that you do not have to take the plastic base plate off for the 1617. Yes, it fits the Bosch colt 1hp PR20EVS with the PR011 plunge base. Use the "E" holes, of which there are 2. It kind of bothered me that there were only 2 mounting points, but it seems secure enough. Contrary to the image with the supplied 2 page 'User manual', you're going to mount it at about a 45 degree angle to the track, rather than the 90 degree angle in the picture. Note that you *will* have to take the plastic base plate off for the PR011. See the pictures I attached to the review. Yes, it works with Festool/Makita/Milwaukee/Powertec/Wen track saw rails. Probably the weird Dewalt rail, as well, but I don't have one so I can't check. It sits on the track solidly enough though I find I need to press my hand down on the plastic area to keep it level on the track. It tips just enough that it will catch on edges of your work piece if you don't. I don't see any way to change the grip for the plastic piece that marries the adapter to the rail, but it fits well enough and doesn't have any noticeable play when used, and glides decently enough. I did find that putting a small amount of pastewax on the bottom helps it glide more smoothly, but since this might get pastewax or whatever lubricant you use on your work piece, use your own discretion here. There also seems to be a suite of addons for this, but they're also only sold in europe and there's basically no information for them either, so I don't think I'll be trying my luck with them. I haven't used the Festool equivalent so I can't say if it's better or worse, but it works far better than the 3d printed plates as I said before. The micro-adjuster works great and you can get right up to the splinter guard without cutting into it. I'm giving 4 stars simply due to the lack of information for this product.

Thankfully someone on amazon posted that this plunge base worked, just that you have to use the E slot, and rotate the router 45deg. Once I figured that part out, the rest went smoothly. Also I learned it works on Festool / Makita / Milwaukee Platform as well, and you can use many other brand routers.

I was able to attach the Bosch FSN OFA router track saw adapter to the plunge base of my 1617 router using the "A" holes with 3 m4 screws (supplied). It moves smoothly along my generic Festool-compatible track. The positioning dial allows you to set the position of the router, but you will need to be careful to not cut into the black edge. A little expensive but a huge improvement over the cheap 3-d printed adapters which hook into the wrong side of the track.

Great for use with Makita, Milwaukee, powetech track saw guides. A word of caution..... I had to modify the base by creating a template for the screw holes on my Bosch plunge router setup. IT was very easy since the plate is 1/4" aluminum. i thought with all the hole patterns in the plate my router would bolt right up but it did not. Still awesome.

It did not fit my Triton router I had to drill holes in it hope it works

Compatible with Makita track

Un peu grand par rapport à la GKF 18V sur sa base TE600. Je trouve aussi un peu gênant le fait que l'affleureuse ne soit pas alignée avec le rail, il y a un angle d'au moins 30° entre les poignées et l'axe du rail FSN... Sans doute le prix à payer pour un outil universel.

Ich habe hier ein paar sehr negative Rezensionen gelesen, und ich habe anfangs die gleichen Erfahrungen gemacht. ABER: Offensichtlich war meine erste Schiene Retourenware (die Verpackung sah schon so aus, mehrfach nachgeklebt mit breitem Tesa o.ä. - im Original, wie ich jetzt weiß, gibt es nur ein einziges "Siegel" in der rechten vorderen Ecke), und möglicherweise hat der erste Verwender den Fehler gemacht, den Adapter mit der Feineinstellung parallel zu verschieben, ohne vorher die Feststellschraube zu lösen. Ich vermute, dass sich dadurch das gesamte Innenleben verzogen bzw. verbogen hat, und Spiel entstanden ist. Da außerdem die beiden Führungen nicht mehr fluchteten, lief der Adapter nicht mehr sauber auf der Schiene. Der zweite Adapter läuft einwandfrei, und er ist im Auslieferungszustand komplett spielfrei. Da verschiebt sich auch nichts mehr, wenn nach der Feinjustierung die Feststellschraube angezogen wird, was hier in einer anderen Rezension moniert wurde. Allerdings läuft er auf der Festtool Schiene nur schwergängig, aber dem läßt sich mit einer kleinen Feile und etwas Silkonöl in einer Minute abhelfen. Es sind nur die beiden Führungen an den Enden des Adapters und 2 flexible kleine Kunststofffedern, etwas weiter innen auf der Fräse-zugewandten Seite, die für die Reibung sorgen, also in Gesamtlänge ca. 4 x 1 cm. Und es geht nur um Millimeter-Bruchteile. Das ist schnell gemacht. Ich habe eine Schlüsselfeile benutzt. Möglicherweise bekommt die Kunststoff-Führung nach längerer Nutzung mehr und damit zuviel Spiel, aber ich bin bereit, dann nochmal nachzuarbeiten - irgendwas wird mir dazu dann schon einfallen. Aber die Art der Parallelverstellung, finde ich, ist erst mal ein geniales Konzept, wenn man für eine Nute nicht den exakt passenden Fräser hat, und die große Auflagefläche ist, finde ich, Klasse gemacht. Das man sich nicht auf die Anzeige verlassen sollte - geschenkt. Wichtig ist doch, dass ich nicht die Schiene versetzen muss (die selbstverständlich fixiert ist, um ein genaues Ergebnis zu erzielen). Meiner Meinung nach ist es ein super Teil, also traut Euch, das Ding zu bestellen; wenn es auf der Schiene Spiel hat oder sich nur ruckelnd parallel verschiebt, ist es nicht in Ordnung, also tauscht es um. Die Nacharbeit für die Festool-Schiene ist akzeptabel.

Très maniable et resistant
