Very Good Accessory
By Scott Pointon
I have owned a DeWalt DW618 router with the fixed base for a couple of years now, and I am huge fan (see my review of the router for more on that). When I started looking for a more powerful plunge router to replace my old 1.75hp Ryobi I decided it made more sense to buy this base and use my existing 2.25 DeWalt router motor as my plunge router. This base is very well machined - the fit and finish are excellent. The plunge mechanism operates very smoothly with just the right amount of resistance. The handles are extremely comfortable, and the dust collection design works well too. Basically I have found no serious shortcomings in this product. My only beef is that it is a pain to find the right parts to hook up my Fein Turbo II vac to the dust collection tube/port. But in fairness to DeWalt that is due more to the odd size of the Fein vac hose than to this router base.Highly Recommended!

Great Tool, poor packaging
By James C. Judge
Love the plunge base, works like a charm... easy to set and holds just where one wants to. Even can set to hundredths of an inch! The only complaint I have is the packaging, just tossed into a box with absolutely no packing, rattling around with the two additional parts for dust. The other thing I have an issue is, no instruction sheet (which I guess DeWalt figures you don't need instructions if you know how to run a router?), and no registration (is it good for 90 days, 1 year?).SO, the upshot is that while I love the base, I'm a bit underwhelmed with the packaging and lack of information.
