Bosch PR010 Round, Get a centering cone.

Get a centering cone.
This base does make the Colt a much more versatile router. It is easy to install, but hard to center. I do not have the centering cone so I had to use a 3/8″ round-over bit that just happens to fit the opening exactly. Even with the bit, [...]
