offset base for PC 310 trim router

Go to Pat Warner's site

Bob S.

Doncha just love how people read the OP so carefully?

Let's see... the OP said

"But I need one that will fit either the PC 310 router or the 3102 motor."

I said.......

"Go to Pat Warner's site

and if you went there, you would have found.........

Doncha ya just love how people jump before reading so carefully....

"this isn't a simple offset base plate. It's an accessory with an offset shaft, like the currently-offered PC

I was trying to help. I've never seen an attachment like that for a 310.

You're being a complete asshole isn't helping the OP either so rather than rag on my post - try to contribute something useful for a change.

I accept your apology. Next time besure you understand the question before answering.

FWIW, you may know this, here is info from a customer comment at Amazon about the PC 7310 trimmer: "Sadly, Porter Cable no longer sells the excellent offset, angle, and other optional bases for the 310. If you need these you can acquire them used or new-old-stock, but they are getting harder to find. The premium prices of these trimmers and optional bases found on Ebay attest to the loyal following the 310 has. These bases are available for the 7310, but you will still have to deal with the inferior design and quality of that trimmer. Again, go with the DeWalt or Bosch if you need a complete trim kit with all the bases. If you don't need them, get the 310 and you'll be set for life. You'll be glad you did."

I looked at e-Bay and all I could find was a recently completed auction -- and it looked like it was a good deal for as used one w/ motor.

That was not an apology by any stretch... and next time try to be helpful instead of being a complete ass.

You just don't know when to shut up! (Hint, never say anything.)

Thanks, Bob. PC used to sell an offset base for the 310. I really much prefer the 310 trimmer to the 7310. They're just not the same class of tool.

Oh, yes! (G)

Thanks. Guess I was just too lazy to call yesterday and figured someone on the wreck would have a quick answer for me.

Cheers,

Jim

There are at least two.

The model 5022 and the model 5031 bases fit the 3102 motor.

I'll go into the dirty paper vaults and post some dirty pictures on ABPW.

Boy, I couldn't have said it better myself! But, I haven't seen any offset bases for the 310 on eBay -- in my one day of looking. If you spot one, ring out loud and clear, please!

AAArrrrggghhh!!! Your links prompted me to search completed auctions, and lookie what I found:

:-(

Jim

Thanks, Tom. Youdaman! I think I used to have the 5031...the number rings a bell, anyway.

Do you know about the ebay function that e-mails you when what you are looking for comes up for auction? I haven't done one in a while but it is under My Ebay -- I think "favorite searches". That might help. Just don't make the search too narrow. Good luck. -- Igor

toller,

Come back when you have something to offer or at least try to be helpful. Now be nice, sit down and be quite.
