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!

Works very well and easy to use with a consistent outcome

So far i really enjoy the base and like it better than the palm base that came with my dewalt dcw600 router. It allows you to plunge route along locking it in place to have a fixed based just make sure to release the lock slowly to keep tension off spring when not routing. Feels comfortable like a fixed based with the plunge and adjustability.

Excellent all around. Fit, finish and function are top notch.

Works great with my small router. The adjustmend on this plunge base is much better than on my big DeWalt router. The fact that with the samll lever you can easy adjust and keep in place/hight, is awesome. Only disapointement that you have to get the dust collection jig seperatly, which sells for another US$15 - US$ 35 depending on vendor. This is why I can only give a four star rating. Otherwise it would be a five star.

I was about to buy a knock-off plunge router that uses a DeWalt battery, and then I found this for 20 bucks cheaper. This uses the DeWalt 20V palm router that I already have. I'm completely impressed by the build quality. I know I would have been sorely disappointed with the knockoff, but I figured I wouldn't be using it that much at my hobby level. Now I've got a good quality plunge base that moves as smoothly as silk with no plat in it.

Great addition to the compact router. Works as it should.

Fits perfect and works very well

Just what I wanted

Fits my DeWalt well

Needed this for my DCW600 router and couldn't find it at a better price anywhere else. Only thing to bear in mind is the depth scale is in imperial and not metric. Small issue for the price.

A very essential add-on to the already great small router. The build quality is excellent and very easy to attach and use.
