Tom
What I am talking about and others I assume is not the outside of the template guide but the size of the hole in a router base or a template guide adapter such as the Makita model (Part number 321492-3) or the triton plate supplied with the template guides.
These have a 30mm hole with a 35mm diameter rebate. Circular screw in template guides such as the carbatec set mentioned at the start of this thread, LV guides or Leigh guides then fit into this hole. These template guides can then have a multitude of different outside diameters.

I will submit a pic on a new posting

Tom's router supports suitable for Makita or Hitachi Router
(a) Using the side fence attachment
(b) Number two is a much more stable support that requires two rods and the outrigger

Tom, I guess my point was that you were flogging the idea of the 40mm guide with no rationale being given.
To my mind it would have been better to point out sooner what you consider to be the advantages you ended up mentioning in post #15.
Coiuld be of more use in communicating a point of view.
Offered in the spirit of honest feedback.

As Stuart said "We heard it 12 months ago, and its starting again. No one else seems to care whether it is 30 or 40mm as standard". You also must have been aware of my comments in the past or you would not have followed Stuart with your posting "Know any other tunes, Tom?" I was never asked why I use the larger guide and I possibly would not have given the reason except for you and Stuart's comments which were of no help to the person asking the questions.
What I said in my opinion was to answer the posting before me.
I know I have said it all before and I will continue to repeat it if someone wishes to hear it as I am convinced that the larger guide is the way to go

Router adaptor plate
I was getting worried that I'd sparked off an argument here. As it turned out, I found the Carba-tec base plate that Mat suggested and it suits my purposes perfectly for the moment. Thanks for all the input guys and especially to Tom for taking the time to pass on his experience. I am very new to using guides (and woodwork in general) and although most of what Tom said went over my head, I hope to keep the info in mind. Appreciate the advice.
Cheers
Pete.
