The main slot must line up with the handles.

Easy to install. Intelligent design. Works well. To fit most routers, the main slot in this base is aligned with two screws placed diagonally to each other. Unfortunately, the handles are positioned as if the screws were next to each other. This will shift the front hole of the router to one side when the handles are held parallel to the cutting line. I tilt the handles to keep an eye on the snaffle, but I prefer to ride both hands along the cutting line.

Pros
  • Includes two insertion pins for cutting slots in work piece
Cons
  • Modern

Doesn't work primarily with Rigid 2401.

All their ads show the Rigid 2401. Although it is screwed to the router, it is crooked. You can look into the viewport, but it's to the side. If you're using your compact carving router, this is a deal breaker. Pros: The knobs feel comfortable but firm to the touch, and they're highly adjustable. Not the best quality control. After assembling, it looks thin. It doesn't fit the Rigid 2401 properly, so the question is which routers does it fit with. Hard 2401. If you carve, spend ten bucks more…

Pros
  • Compatible with all neat and compact routers
Cons
  • Good but not great

The Milescraft Compact SubBase fits Harbor Freight's Drill Master.

If you have a Milescraft Sign Pro kit and a Harbor Freight, Drill Master Trim you can use this base. It fits as shown in the attached photo. You can use the baseplate screw to install from the Drill Master baseplate. Make sure to use the centering guide when installing. Once aligned and installed, you can remove the centering bar by loosening the height adjustment screw and lifting the motor off the base. Then put the motor back on the base and you're good to go. Installation is quick and easy…

Pros
  • Comfortable handles with 360Β° rotation for maximum comfort when milling
Cons
