MLCS Laser gouded router plate #9098
Received this today, and mounted it up to a PC 690 D handle router. It’s kind of one of my “go to” routers in the shop.

The work is ready to install without any sanding. Great finnish. And almost no pitch buildup on the bit. This is the first Quadra-Cut bit that I have used, and I am impressed.
