With the improved performance of the Mark 7, will one truly need the OPR. By adding the pin setup and the increased speeds of the new Power Pro it seems as if it will perform all, at least most, of the function of the OPR. Any thoughts on this? I have only done a cursory overview, but I would be interested in other thoughts on this matter.

Merry Christmas to all of you, and I hope you all get what you want.

Probably only need to fashion an auxiliary table for the pin.

Or just a new main table insert to accept the pin. Something like the disk sander insert, but filling the hole with another insert + pin

The benefit to the OPR is adjustable, and I believe greater, depth. With the headstock as your cutter, what you got is what you got. Still, I think pin routing with a PP headstock would be excellent!
