Review: Awesome attachment for the compact router... - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know if this plunge base will fit the cordless DCW600 compact router?**
A: Yes, they fit perfectly. I took a chance and  bought the DNP612 to use on my DCW600 cordless compact router and, unless there's something I'm not seeing, they are compatible. I wish they'd just tell you that in the specs. Last time I looked, this info wasn't really available.

**Q: Es compatible con un router dcw600**
A: This is compatible with the DCW600 router.

**Q: Has anyone tried to work this on a dwe6000?**
A: I have not; however, the diameter of the 6000 appears to be the same as the 611.  Id you are able.  Bring your 600 to a local hardware/home improvement store that sells Dewalt and see if the base of the 611 fits the 6000.  if it does, the DNP612 should work.  The body of the 611 just sets down into the plunge base and does not thread, so the threading is not engaged.  The base just clamps onto the body of the router.

**Q: What routers does the dnpP612 fit**
A: Compatible with DEWALT; compact router DWP611

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice.
*by K***P on March 20, 2025*

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.
