The Milwaukee router (5615-20) he owns also uses the same PC hole layout
(makes it real convenient for me since I own both the 5615-20 and a PC 7529).

Sears uses a semi-proprietary router hole layout (Vermont America also seems
to use that hole set-up). Of several possible solutions the easiest is probably
to go to Sears and buy their router adapter plate. It is designed to allow the
use of Craftsman router accessories on non-craftsmen routers. I assume it will
work in your case. I know it will adapt a Porter-Cable router to a Craftsman
metal router table.

Yes, my 3.5HP Milwaukee has the same hole pattern as the Porter Cable
equivalent.
