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 www.trend-uk.com/en/UK/productlist/4/5/guide_bush_sets.htmlGood read www.leightools.com/guide-bushings-adaptors/ ..................................................................................................................................... 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? as in www.partshopdirect.co.uk/festool-487907-of-900-e-corded-router-220v-spare-parts-s17565/

Is the LO50 a recent purchase?.. if so, where from?.. been trying to get hold of one old 'new' stock, or as new used for a few years now.

And I am very reasonable man, hence, at a price, I could sell my (ex) wife or even current girlfriend- AT A RIGHT PRICE! comes to think of it, for the right price, I'd let test ride one or both, but my tools- no  On a serious note- indeed very lucky purchase in as new condition from a person, that is retiring from the field as to say
