The centering cone works well by insuring that the base is centered on the bit so that you can do a perfect route job regardless of which side of the router you use.
If you ever take off your sub-base you will need this to recenter everything, and its a must for centering your collars for accuracy went doing dovetails and other precision work.Whenever I got it I took it out of the package and wondered why I had to pay 7.50 plus shipping for this little piece of steel. But it is a must for your router work and a worthwhile buy however simple and somewhat overcharged (ok I am a grump about it, its not the mild extra money its just the principle of what you give for what it is) this item is.
I am very pleased with the centering cone I recently purchased. I can be sure my router is properly aligned when mounting it in a stand.
Nice centering cone.it really.centers. Gee whiz. YeahToo bad Bosch wouldn't include one with the router.
Using this centering cone, you can easily provide an improved center for the base for better algnment. My Bosch 1617EVSPK has a smooth base attached to the bottom of the router. Bosch is very careful to center the base plate on the base (in case you say remove it to attach to a router table). Then again, the routers shipping now include the centering cone. Although it is easy to provide a very close center, it is not as good as the factory center.
