Palm Router - Any good ones?

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

Doesn't it hurt to route your palm?

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

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.

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.

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

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! www.patwarner.com

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.

www.allprotools.com has them, $25 cheaper than amazon.
