Well hello Gents
Love my LO50E, but have few issues to solve, in order to bin few other routers
First of all about guide bushes. I've learned that Mafell doesn't make this router no more, but FesTool continues to make the copy of it ( OF1010 or OF900E) hence been suspecting of IE base plate being interchangeable?, so I could use F guide bushes-1
It is all to do with "monopoly" of the pre-made jigs by Trend (most are 16mm template "standardised") and finding a decent solution along the way

next on my agenda is to "modify" my Mafell to be truly depth adjustable, as (IE my old 1/4" GOF 900) IF to replace adjustment mechanism with Festool one. After all they are copy of each other?
