We have recently designed and manufactured an Adapter Ring for the Porter Cable 310 trimmer motor to be used in our Plunge Base. Starting Aug. 1, 2010, we will be making a single model of motor carriage that accepts the Bosch PR20 directly (no adapter ring or cup necessary). All other trimmer motors will require an adapter. When ordering the Plunge Base, simply select the model of your trimmer from the drop-down box. If ordering for any motor other than the PR20, add the appropriate Adapter Ring (also chosen from a drop-down box) on the Plunge Base Accessories/Adapter Ring page.
