Review: Nice bit of kit. - If you want a plunge base for your Makita compact router, get this one, not the clones. Clones are bad, this is good. It is that simple. The more complex answer… this is well made and is put together with quality parts and tolerances. It will work well for plunge work. The fine adjustment it a clever bit of design that works well when you are trying to fine tune your depth. I know some people have indicated mixed opinions on it, but my experiences has been quite good. I think it comes down to experience with various designs and understanding the tolerances of cutting wood. It fit nicely on my router and adjusts well overall. The locking mechanism works well.
Review: Great router base, have to guess at the features as it didn’t come with any written instructions. - I’m just getting into electric/battery powered tools, so I’m new to this stuff. It has been a long time since I was in Jr high wood shop class trying to remembering how to use these things. But I think I have it down, well and especially with this new router base. It really makes using the router much easier and safer, compared to the base that my mini router came with. This new base allows me to plunge the router into the material without having to make any adjustments, just downward pressure. The old base that came with the router was not very easily adjusted. You had to loosen a clamp, set your depth and then retihgten the clamp, although accurate, it was not as simple as this new base. The new base’s depth adjustment screw is so easy to use, and also has three adjustments so you can gradually get down to your final depth in the material. The three adjustments make it easier, as you don’t have to do it all in one go, but can be gradual, so as not to overheat the router. All in all very impressed with this tool, as with most Mikita tools that I have so far. Just wish this came separate instructions so I wouldn’t have to guess on how something works if I lost the router’s instruction booklet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for. Makita quality
*by T***U on February 24, 2024*

I had a Makita handheld router for a few years. I needed plunge functionality and got this. I was pleased to see that it snapped on, wrapped and clamped to my existing router with precision and tightness that is great. Everything lines up perfectly to the millimeter. Not that I didn’t expect that to happen, but with cheaper tools, this wouldn’t be the case. Overall the whole unit when attached to my router feels real solid, sturdy, quality. What you need when doing detail work with high speed bits.
