Upgrade Your Router With Our Exclusive Heavy-Duty Base Plates!
Compact, or "trim" routers, have become a mainstay in many woodworking shops because they're light, powerful, ergonomic, and feature-packed. As useful as these smaller routers are, the one place they could use an upgrade is their base plates. Often top-heavy and with a tiny footprint, compact routers lack the stability of their larger siblings and can be challenging to control. Taking a cue from our popular large universal router base plates, we're excited to offer these two new compact router base plates. Truly "universal", they've been designed to fit almost every compact router on the market and they come in two different designs; a traditional 6” Round and a D-Handle base plate with removable fence.
Universal D-Handle Router Base Plate For Compact Routers (115-037)
The Infinity D-Handle router base plate is precision C.N.C. machined from a full 3/8" thick acrylic that is impact and scratch resistant. This unique teardrop shape base plate is a must for anyone using the router for precise edge routing or for creating dados and grooves with the included fence. The tall handle gives you a second point of contact with the router making it extremely stable and eliminating almost every chance of the router tipping when trimming veneers or adding a decorative profile to your project. The fence can be installed to allow you to route dadoes and grooves up to 5-1/2” from the edge of your workpiece. The unique dual-sided fence can be used on both straight and curved edges, giving you endless design possibilities. This D-Handle base plate is drilled specifically to accept a Porter Cable style guide bushing so you can use your router to follow patterns, templates, and jigs. Take advantage of our money saving package and buy both of these upgraded compact router bases for your shop.
Universal 6” Circular Base Plate For Compact Routers (115-038)
The Infinity round base plate is precision C.N.C. machined from a full 3/8" thick Acrylic that is impact and scratch resistant. Pre-drilled to fit both the fixed and plunge bases of almost every compact router on the market, the 6" diameter gives you a large and stable platform for safer routing. While the factory supplied base plate on your compact router is small and flimsy, you'll find our larger base plate to offer you more control and confidence in every cut. This is particularly useful when working on inlays where the small factory base can fall into the recesses being routed. And for ultimate versatility, the center of each base plate is drilled to fit a Porter Cable style guide bushing so you can use your router to follow patterns, templates, and jigs.
Base Plate Alignment Kit (115-040)
This kit works with any router base plate that accepts Porter-Cable-style template guide bushings to ensure that the base plate is centered on the router. This is critical for accurate routing when using your router in a hand-held application. Comes with a 1/4" diameter steel pin that chucks into your router's collet. The centering disk fits over the steel pin and into the center hole in your router base plate. With the base plate centered, you can tighten the mounting screws which will ensure a perfectly centered router bit.
