Replace the centering device with your router bit and you'll know it'll be centered in the bushing opening. Just adjust your router up/down on the base until the bushing internal diameter mates with the cone, then tighten the bushing's lock collar.

Basically you install the centering guide (it has a 1/4 inch shank) into the router collet and use the cone shaped end to center the bushing.

That lets you perfectly center a bushing to your router collet. Notice that kit includes an odd looking brass component. and they ended up making an adapter to accept the PC style ones as those are more-or-less the standard. Bosch routers use their own size and mounting style bushing kits. PC sized bushings are the most commonly used/available bushing kits in the US. This rabbet, and the diameter of the opening, match the Porter Cable (aka "PC") compatible bushing kits built/sold by several companies.

A lot of those old Ryobi routers, forgot the series, had a problem with the plastic body swelling over time and or the aluminum threaded base oxidizing and growing and jamming in the base raising mechanism.Īn advantage to a purchased base plate like the one Loring posted is that the center opening is designed to accept standard router bit bushings. So if someone with a plate can send me dimensions from that plate that is fine too. I am wondering if anyone has this router and can send me a dimensional drawing showing the mounting hole positions.Īnother option - since the BT3K accessory kit had a router mounting plate and both are made by Ryobi I wonder if the hole pattern might match the R165. My search on the internet hasn't been successful. So I am trying to find a way to trace the mounting hole patterns to mount it to a table. Unfortunately, it is missing the base plate. I have picked up a used Ryobi R165 (1 3/4 HP) router.
