Plunge Base For Compact Router, Steel Rods for Smooth Plunge Stroke (DNP612)

Recently acquired the Dewalt compact router and figured I need to get the plunge base. Or it was a good excuse to buy more tools? Anyways, of course it fits the router perfectly. You do need to take of the plastic height adjustment ring as it hits on the one column cover. Not like you need it, it is a plunge base. Although, it would be kind of nice if it did work, you could dial down the height, so you don't have to plunge so far each time, if you are using it for a long time. The build quality is pretty much perfect, what you would expect from a Dewalt tool. The plunge action is nice and smooth, works as it should. You do need to move a big level to release and lock the plunge action. At first I thought this was kind of odd, but it makes sense, very handy feature. When you plunge the router stays in that position, so you are not constantly plunging up and down. You are not always needing to keep the router "down". Now I have to see if my Makita compact plunge base has that, I don't think it does. The level is easy to push with your finger while using the router. One thing, another reviewer said template guide bushing do not fit, well they must have a strange one, as the set I have fit's it fine. While my bushings are not the standard, Porter Cable, they fit every base I have, ones that are made for those kinds of bushings. You can see from my last picture, they fit well. The base does look to be made for some twist lock attachments, but I don't know what and I can't find anything about it in the manual. Any one else know? Very happy with this base, makes the compact router even more useful. Frankly it's kind of a necessary addition if you plan to use the router often. The price was great. Highly recommend!

Coupled with the DN6913 Edge guide this Plunge base worked great for me. Setup was easy. Adjustability and operation are very satisfying for a me, a relatively new woodworker. For me to setup and produce a perfect dado or edge rabbet in just a few minutes was evidence I made the right choice in these tools. This is one smooth operator.

I bought this plunge base attachment to go with my new small cordless trim router and it’s perfect! It’s well made, fits my Dewalt router perfectly and functions exactly as represented. Now I just need to get the right dust collection attachment.

Nice. Smooth operation

I love this thing, makes my 1/4" trim router turn into something much more useful, and become my most used router by far. There is one big issue though, if you put it on without realizing, it can block the on/off switch on the DeWalt 20v. So a star is removed for ergonomics on that. It works fine, you just have to make sure you put it on properly or it will block the on/off switch, which I find to be pretty annoying when you're just slapping it all together. I have used the plunge function on tons of different materials, and it works very well. I like the release button and where it's all placed, and it is very smooth. A testament to it's smoothness would be that I have used it with a roto-zip bit, and plunged it onto 1/2" drywall on a table without doing any extra damage to the drywall. Good product, must have if you already own the router, will give it an entire extra life.

Perfect fit, excellent function.

Dewalt quality item. Easy to change from one base to the other. Just what I needed for both of my dewalt routers. Give's me more control.
