Router Selection  The FMT is made for use with plunge routers only and will not work with fixed base routers. You need a 1/2" collet to realize the jig's potential. A 1/4" collet can produce only 1/4" joints and an 8mm collet can produce only 8mm and some 4mm joints.
The list to the right shows all the plunge routers we know of that fit the FMT. Even if your router isn't listed, it's very likely that you can attach it to the FMT's sub-base if it has either two fence rod holes at least 5/16" (8mm) in diameter through the base, or a removable sub-base attached by screws into the router base casting.
Routers lacking two guide rod holes all the way through the base must be attached directly to the FMT sub-base with mounting screws that come with the jig. For an up-to-date list visit our Web site at www.leighjigs.com/support Routers That Currently Fit The FMT
