With any routing you should preferably take a number of shallow cuts rather than a deep cut in one run.

Not when using a dovetail cutter - you might want to remove some wood with a straight cutter first but you cannot take a sieries of shallow cuts.

The Leigh site does not list your router but all the ryobies take the 702, the 703 or the 706R. They are quite different and you may be able to tell by looking at the photos. otherwise you might could email them for advice. The web page is Leigh Industries - Joining Tradition With Today

On the open sides you certainly can take shallow cuts (sideways not depthways) and in respect to the "groove" you can take shallow cuts with the initial straight section as discussed previously.

Thanks for the advice Pusser.

After looking it's still not real clear to me. I've taken a photo of the router base (without screws) and the leigh adaptor chart. I would think that it should be either the the 702, the 703 or the 706R - but can't really tell, then again the hole in the router base is so small that the Bosch adaptor might fit - maybe none of them work

then again I might be missing something real obvious here...

Think I'll have to email them.

Cheers.

Good idea I think. Better to get their advice than take a punt.

I expect that you could get a universal router sub-base that would accept the 710 or the 704R easily enough.

That looks to me to be about the size of the guidebush alone without any adapter. What is the diameter of that hole and is there a small shelf around the edge of the hole?

Thanks all,

Carbartec have a universal router base plate:
Universal Router Base Plate : CARBA-TEC

Here's a thought - Does the e-bush fit directly onto this base plate?

Has anyone tried this?

If not I guess the 710 or 704 R on top of the universal base plate would be the go?

Matt, that was my first thought. The router doesn't have a ledge - I did try screwing the e-bush directly in but there was no way to ensure that it was (and stayed) centered.

Yes, the ebush should screw directly into this baseplate and be flush with the baseplate.
