Palm Router - Any good ones?

[Jay Pique]

I'm looking for a palm router/laminate trimmer that has a base with less flex than the Porter Cable. Any suggestions?

People seem to like the Bosch Colt. Doesn't look flexy at all to me.

Which PC is "flexy"? They make several models.

I have a PC 7310, and understand what you mean, I think. That's ome reason I bought a PC 310, and older, sturdier, more expensive, design.

I also bought a Bosch palm router, PR20EVSK, which works pretty well.

None of them is perfect, however. You have to pay attention with all of them, or get some funky results.

BTW, both of my PC laminate trimmers have subbases on them I got from Pat Warner. That helps a LOT!

Yeah I just looked at the PC 310 and really like the looks of it a lot more. I'm thinking that's prolly the way to go.

Where are you finding a 310? All I can find is a 7310.

I ordered one through Rockler, because they would do that for me. It was a pain for them, though. And this was before the B&D merger.

has them, $25 cheaper than amazon.

I wrote the first question about the Colt here on the newsgroup about a

1 1/2 years ago. I picked up the first one from the rep in the area (Detroit MI area). Have used it for over a year and can say it is a real nice router. Has all the adjustments that the others (except the PC 310) lack. I don't use it as a laminate trimmer, but as a palm router.

Doesn't it hurt to route your palm?

Got some sensitive palm trees in your area do you?

Mine scream. :)
