Doesn't fit Hitachi TR12

I love this product and will be using it on another router but even after my question was answered yes the base doesn't fit my Hitachi TR12. Check out my video.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits my 20 year old master router.

Works well, removes sawdust with ease. Not scratched yet. Pay attention to the size of the cutter used. The center hole may be too small for larger cutters.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

does the job. best of power tool parts and accessories

The product works great with my Makita cordless router, I am very happy with it and it provides a much more stable operation when using the router. The only reason for 4 runs is that I had to alter a few holes to fit properly. It didn't matter and I still recommend it!

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Not reliable

The screw holes did not match the holes in my Bosch 1616 router

I spent almost an hour trying to figure out a way to get this to work for my Bosch router. The base just doesn't work! Very annoying, because the instructions for the base plate even specified the corresponding drill holes for the Bosch 1617 router, but they were wrong.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Security

Works as it should.

Looks great and fits my Bosch router perfectly even though I had to use standard M4 screws. I used my centering guide and it rebounded with no problem. It's flat and smooth and works as expected. This allows me to use PC guide bushings that fit snugly in the recess when testing.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Compatibility

Best Big Improvement in Router Parts & Accessories

I bought this to replace the fixed base plate on my Bosch router. The original is made of opaque black plastic, making it very difficult to use a router with a template guide. This transparent base is a big improvement. It was easy to install. It is configured to use regular Porter cable guides instead of Bosch guides. The plate is thicker than the original and about 1/2 inch larger in diameter. Of course, this depends on the specific router, since it is suitable for many routers. The only…

Pros
  • User Friendly
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
