Pros & Cons
Pros
Fits my older ryobi and 2 craftsman routers (different holes) also fits my harbor freight 1-1/2 hp plunge router great.
The brass centering pin works really well. The two screws are hefty and give more purchase that you might expect. Fortunately some drilling, it works like you think it would.
Happy with my purchase. Works exactly as advertised. Everything else is good.
It has a 2 larger diameter than the standard base, but this just add stability for template routing. I'm very happy with the thickness of the plate and that it's clear. The pk means package that include both the fixed base and plunge base.
Its made of thick acrylic (5/16 inches thick). It is thick and feels quite sturdy - more so than original plates on any of the originals on my *, dewalt, or porter cable routers.
Highlights
Quality
Using the centering pin that comes with the powertec plate kit youre able to center the plate where it needs to be
This made my router better than with the factory base
My old bushings and a few jugs that i made would not work with the bosch
However when you remove the bosch plate from the router base you find several other mounting holes that do line up with the powertec plate
Packaging/appearance
I also found the guide collars from the portercable dovetail jig also fit the center hole in the powertec plate perfectly
I laid the powertec plate on top of the original bosch plate and sure enough it didnt match the holes in the original bosch plate
Competitiveness
Worked as expected for a ridgid router on which i had to install guide bushings for dovetail joint creations

It is slightly thicker than any of those actually so if you need an exact match say for a edge guide or something this might be an issue

The con is theres so many holes ita hard to figure out which ones go to your router base

I needed a clear base plate that will permit a better view of the workpiece and one that will hold my template bushings

Note the provided screws dont have the correct threading use the ones that come with the router bases

The rockler base does not fit the plunge base but will fit the fixed base
