DEWALTRouter Sub Base for Compact Routers, Round (DNP613)

Works as advertised

Works great to keep a consistent spacing when using a juice groove jig. Just be sure to use a centering tool to align the plate on the router.

There were several other items in the so maybe it will show up today. I will change the star when the item shows up.I rechecked package and the sub base was found. It's thick, looks and feels like great quality. 👍

This works well especially for adding the guide busings. My other base would not except them.

Solves my biggest complaint with the Dewalt 20v compact router, the gigantic gaping hole in the stock plate. I have three templates bushing sets and none would even come close to fitting. This plate fits the straight style bushings and the Bosch style, keyed bushing. By design, there is some play in the screw holes so that it can accommodate different routers so you’ll definitely need an alignment cone. Overall, best bang for your buck.

I purchased this as an add on product for $5.99 with free shipping. I have a DEWALT DWP611PK 1.25 HP Max Torque Variable Speed Compact Router that I wanted to use the with the Porter Cable template collar set. The base fit both perfectly and was exactly what I needed as the standard base that comes with the router is not meant for use with standard bushing collar sizes. Centering this base was easy with additional tools I already owned. I used the centering pin from a router inlay bit kit and the smallest template collar I had that has the exact inner diameter as the centering pins outer diameter. Keep in mind you will need to figure out a way to center your base since routers generally don't come with the base centering accessory. The base is a simple accessory at a good price in my opinion.

Why doesn't the router come with this? I have no idea.Why does it cost a frustrating amount of money for a little piece of acrylic? I have no idea.Should you have it anyhow? Yeah you should. On a small router, it's really convenient for the bit to be the same distance all the way around the base for most uses.I'm not condoning the pathologically greedy behavior of not including this base with the tool...but I am perpetuating it by needing to have my tool set up correctly.Is this review a lot more contemplative than it needed to be? yes

The base which came with the DeWall DW611 router is not suited for using bushings (the center hole is much too large). This base is designed and built to accommodate bushings; for that reason alone, it is a good purchase. Otherwise, I don't see a need for this base as compared to the base which comes with the router; the base which comes with the router is "D" shaped rather than "O" shaped [in other words, one side of the base which comes with the router is straight -- which is very handy in many situations (use with jigs, etc.)]. Other reviewers seem to think the "O" shaped based allows them to get into tighter spaces; so, there may be other benefits than being able to accept bushings.
