Ideal for stencils

Easily turns a compact router into a much more useful tool. Much more accurate. Excellent purchase. This is such an upgrade of my homemade router table, you just insert the router from the top and boom. I recommend. Be sure to check the model of your router before purchasing.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Periodicity

Fits like a glove, holds standard bushings

I took the opportunity to imitate a Makita router - it fits perfectly and works very well for my intended purpose: replacing the original base plate with one that fits Standard milling bush template/tab. Very satisfied, received quickly, works as advertised and at a very fair price. What more do you want.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Only used two screws and still solid

I took a chance even if my router isn't listed. I have a Ryobi P600G 18 volt model. I found this base had two diagonal holes which I used. It is also securely fixed with just two screws and there is no misalignment between the router and the base. If I dropped it I would expect it to break the base of the router since that plate is thicker than where it's attached.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Well installed but not a solution for my use

I wanted to be able to use a brass guide bush on my new router and needed a different base plate to do so. The PowerTec part made it perfect. It's thick enough and fits well. And I used a standard guide bush. But squeezing the guide bushing, inserting and tightening the bit, etc. - it was all something of a "royal pain in...". So the new record is ok, but it won't work for me.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Cool Router Base Plate Parts & Accessories

Well I decided to give 2 stars in the review because it doesn't fit my Makita 1101 or PC 690 and you know that it's a bit thin. Well I went back and looked at the list. This is exactly the plate they advertise. And even with big holes, it may not fit your car. Scroll through the images. So; Installation information here! Congratulations to the qualified seller offering this option for Trim routers. You have another thicker and more expensive option for the 690. Make Sawdust!

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Some Small Things

Doesn't fit old Black and Decker routers

This thing has lots and lots of holes on the bottom but they don't match the screws on my circa 1984 Black and Decker router. was able to drill new holes and die Widen the holes slightly with a large drill to accommodate the screw heads. The base is slightly smaller than the bottom of the router but works well (can be a problem when cutting very thin material). I would recommend drilling with great caution (and some pressure) as I imagine this plastic would crack if too much force is applied.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Pretty good

Ideal for Bosch Router Plunge Base for Palm

Required a clear base plate to use router bushings on a Bosch Plunge Router for Palm. Fit and functionality are top. The pre-drilled holes in the plate line up perfectly with the holes for the router's mounting screws, allowing for easy adjustment for centering. Brass bushings are tight with no play. The plate slides easily with little effort and there are no machining marks or casting defects on the surface. Great combo when using templates (Butterfly in my case). This is another Powertec…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Has defects

Great product if it fits your router

I wanted to add a template sleeve to my Ryobi R163 router. One of the questions and answers said "It worked great on my R163". Well the one I received didn't have holes that would fit my R163. I marked and drilled new holes, breaking two in the process. (Use a sharp drill and slowly drill through the OD to accommodate the screw head and then a smaller drill to accommodate the screw shank.) unsuccessful attempts. leightools sells a plate that adapts the R163 to stock bushings so I'm going to…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Useless features
