It arrived Monday. Last night I had a chance to get it assembled, not a lot to do but add the small diameter circle attachment and drop the 310 in. I will be cutting rosettes this weekend so Ill give a report then on how well it works. What I can say now is that its built like a tank, to very tight tolerances. The 310 dropped right in, but was a perfect snug fit. The fine adjustment knob works great, as does the plunge took. Its a well built jig. Here are a few images I took last night.

[QUOTE=LanceK] not a lot to do but add the small diameter circle attachment and drop the 310 in.[/QUOTE] Could you expand on that? I see the attachment - does it come with the base by default or is it something extra you needed to order? |

The little attachment was 10.00, it moves the centering pin closer to the bit. |

Nice looking jig. I've got a Bosch colt - any way to know if it will in that jig? |

I'm pretty sure its made just for the PC 310 and the Dremel. Two different models. You can follow the link I posted above and see what is available, maybe even give Bishop a call, maybe he can do custom apps? |

Sturdy looking, PC probably cuts truer than the Dremel. Is it as heavy as it looks? Clinton |

Its hefty, not to much so, but enough to not bounce around when you turn it on. One thing I noticed imeadiatly was the 310 and how smooth it ran. |

if the 310 base is as good as the dremel base it will be very good indeed. i have lusted after one since it was first announced but could never justify spending the $$$$$. then i lost out on an ebay auction where one went for $150  
then i saw the microfence 310 base. has anyone laid hands or eyes on the this base for 310's and others. i have only seen the ad hype, and it looks very impressive, as does its price unfortunately, but i have not heard from anyone who has laid eyes or hands on one. does anyone have any first hand knowledge? |
