Anybody know of a part number for an offset base that works with the Porter Cable 310 production laminate trimmer? Or even better, where one might be found? Old numbers and used parts are welcome!
Oh, to avoid potential confusion: this isn't a simple offset base plate. It's an accessory with an offset shaft, like the currently-offered PC

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

"He specifically stated he didn't want an offset baseplate to stop people from cluttering up the thread with links to patwarner. He even provided a link to illustrate precisely what he wanted. But you went ahead and referred him to an offset baseplate. Gosh I hope you are just a troll of some sort.
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.

there is a current auction that includes a new motor with the offset base:
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:

is EXACTLY what I am looking for! And it went -- with a motor! -- for $89.10 just five days ago! Oh, the agony!
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
