DEWALT DNP612 COMPACT ROUTER PLUNGE BASE
From the Manufacturer
The DEWALT DNP612 Plunge Base for Compact Router has an sdjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock that makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking. It has precision machined brass bushings and case-hardened steel guide rods that provide a smooth and accurate plunge stroke. It has a xlear, LEXAN sub-base to provide enhanced base durability, bit visibility, and accepts standard template guide bushings. The rubber overmolded handles and low center of gravity design provide best-in-class user comfort, balance, and control. IT has a heavy-duty, precision machined, die-cast aluminum base and motor housing for durability and low tool weight. The five position, adjustable turret stop assists in stepped or repeated plunge cuts and it has micro-fine depth adjustment on the plunge base 5/128" per turn for precise routing in veneer and inlays. It also has an easy to reach plunge lever and switch for superior control while routing.

Excellent accessory that adds a lot of functionality to Dewalt's compact router. It's built well, it's a simple & straight forward design, and it functions smoothly. If you already have the router, it's a worthwhile uprgade.

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!

Had one of these for 10+ years and its always worked great and use it almost every day. Recently got a second router and found I had a need for a second base so there you go. I do recommend adding a bit of dry lube to the rails to help with the bearings/sliding.Edit: I should also mention that the acrylic base will need re-centered if you plan to use any sort of bushing with it. Don't assume it's perfect from the factory. Easy enough to do but simple to forget.

The product itself seems to be of good quality, but some parts come somewhat loose and the brand stickers peel off very easily for “new†products.

Well made, great fit for my 20v router, and does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Routers are kinda funny. Not the first tool you buy but a few years down the road you realize you somehow own 3 of them; Palm, 2.25 HP Fixed/Plunge, and the upside down one in your Router Table. Well if you buy this Plunge Base (I think you should) it turns your DeWalt Palm Router into a versatile all around Router (still can't get rid of the Router Table, tho).Unless your needs are super heavy-duty you should be able to get away with your DeWalt Palm Router and this Plunge Base, no need for the 2.25 HP Router and Setup.When I opened the box and put it on my DCW600 and took it thru some testing it felt like I had a brand new tool (and I did). It's great to be able set the depth (super easy and intuitive), plunge the bit to your material, that's your starting point, then just set how deep you want to go from there, and then go. The 3 preset depth stops also make everything super easy. I admit, I experimented a lot to understand everything (lots of test pieces).This is a great addition to my DeWalt Palm Router and I am still discovering other things I can do with it, plus it's not the size of a fire hydrant.
