Sorry, had placed the Amazon order before seeing this. I have the 6931 base which it says will fit. I also ordered the Extension the they sell since it adds a bit of length over the quick change I use now and will move that one to my Leigh FMT jig with same router with same base. The Legacy based router has seen a lot of use (Not enough use on the Legacy perhaps ) and replacing it soon will be a monetary chore I'm not looking forward to...Anyone use a Festool on a Legacy..way pricey but a workhorse I am told. I wish I were nearer to the Louisiana craigslist for sale. I would enjoy upgrading to the aluminum rails but the steel rail gets little enough use, I plan to do more with some furniture turnings ahead. Thanks again, guys!
