User questions & answers

Question:	can you set this up for a table router
Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

User questions & answers

Question:	what edge guide fits plunge base
Answer:	The DW6913 Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection is designed for use with all DEWALT® routers.
Question:	I just ordered dewalt dwp611. would dewalt plunge compact(dnp
Answer:	Yes, I have the same part on mine.
Question:	Has anyone tried to work this on a dwe
Answer:	I have not; however, the diameter of the 6000 appears to be the same as the 611. Id you are able. Bring your 600 to a local hardware/home improvement store that sells Dewalt and see if the base of the 611 fits the 6000. if it does, the DNP612 should work. The body of the 611 just sets down into the plunge base and does not thread, so the threading is not engaged. The base just clamps onto the body of the router.
Question:	Does anyone know if this plunge base will fit the cordless DCW600 compact router
Answer:	Yes, they fit perfectly. I took a chance and bought the DNP612 to use on my DCW600 cordless compact router and, unless there's something I'm not seeing, they are compatible. I wish they'd just tell you that in the specs. Last time I looked, this info wasn't really available.

Question:	can this model be used in router table (no dust protection
Answer:	yes I put mine in a stand wright away works great. Thanks DavidA
Question:	What will the 2.25 HP Dewalt router do that this will not? Differences
Answer:	Well it depends a lot on what purpose you are using it for. The HP claims are pretty much worthless as both will be equal in terms of mid-size routing. The major flaw the 2.25HP (DW618. I'll refer to it as "618". Whereas this is the DW616... SO, "616") has is it cannot be used in an upside down router table without blowing up bearings in it. THE 616 is fine in a table. Also, the 616 has a quick start vs 618 which is a slow start. This means the 616 is running full speed at start, while the 618 starts slow and takes a second or two to build up speed. Both have advantages, and disadvantages. The BIGGEST issue for myself and others is that the 618 motor has... well... fire problems. Lol. That motor does not like extended use and with eat up brushes like mad. The 616 might have a bit less power, but its basically unnoticeable if you are using good sharp bits. Most importantly... the 616 (the "weaker" of the 2) tends to handle a lengthy runtime without catching fire lol. Personally, I prefer the 616 when it comes to mid-range routers. It has plenty of power, even with hardwoods, and larger bits. If you are planning on closing giant bits, or surface planing, I'd recommend neither and point you to a larger plunge base style of router with much greater strength, but a much higher weight.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with this router http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b0006a0de2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=utf8&psc=1&smid=atvpdkikx0der
Answer:	Thank you for your question. Yes, the 16176 router motor will work with the RA1165 router base. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).
Question:	Can I use it with the Kreg PRS 1040 router table and my Bosch 1617 router
Answer:	Thank you for your question. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the router table to verify if it is compatible with the Bosch 1617 series routers. If they are the same, yes the RA1165 will work with your table as it has the same hole pattern as the 1617EVS router. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).
Question:	I would like a suggestion for a plate to mount this to please? I intend to make my own router table top and would like to attach this to a plate
Answer:	Mine is mounted to a custom 3/8 plexiglass plate With the handles removed, I was able to give my baseplate a small footprint (7x7). Plexiglass made it easy to see where I needed to drill for the hex lift opening.Someone suggested 1/4 plexiglass, which I think *might* flex slightly under the weight of this router. Several years ago I used 1/4 plexiglass on another router and got that result -- HOWEVER, it may be worth a shot. With the smaller 7x7 footprint, there may be no flex.
Question:	CanI use this RA 1165 Base with my Porter
Answer:	Nope. The mounting pattern is the same. The 10-24 screws are the same. The motor diameter is the same. However, there are three issues. 1) there is a pin in the base for which there is no slot in Porter Cable motor the motor won't slide past. 2) there are pins on the Porter Cable motor that do not slide past the 'bottom' opening of the base (they do slide in the 'top', so apparently the bottom is tapered and, even if you file pins or whatever... 3) the height adjustment mechanism on the base goes into one of 3 notches in the Bosch router motor. The Porter Cable motor does not have those notches and so the height adjustment purpose is lost

Product description

A more stable way to support your Rotary Tool. Our sturdy, compact base is the best way to hold a Rotary Tool or Router for freehand routing, inlaying, widening fret slots and more.

Made of machined steel, brass and aluminum, it features precision cutting depth adjustment with large thumbwheels to eliminate guesswork.

Designed especially for stringed instrument work.

Excellent control

Easy installation

Accurate freehand routing

Sturdy, compact, and adjustable

Each turn of the large knurled thumbwheels adjusts your Rotary Tool's cutting depth by .035" (.889mm). You can rout an inlay cavity that's precisely compensated for the thickness of the pearl and glue, for less sanding later.

Tall twin handles give you excellent control for freehand routing, and you get a good view of your work. There's even a built-in nozzle for attaching a mini air pump to continuously blow away the dust—you'll rout inlay cavities more precisely, for a better fit requiring less filler.

Installation is easy.

Simply unscrew the threaded plastic collar on the nose of the Rotary Tool, and screw on the Precision Router Base. Its 3/4-12 thread fits:

•4000, 400XPR, Professional, MultiPro™ and most corded models made since 1986

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit the Dremel
Answer:	I'm not sure
Question:	Will it fit Milwaukee rotary tool
Answer:	You sure can. I cut circles and turned some outdoor lighting colors with them.
Question:	Will this fit my battery operated Dremel
Answer:	I use then for landscape spot lights during Christmas. They do not melt but some do warp from the heat, but I use them year after year. They do lot become unusable.
Question:	Hello, would this be useful in woodworking for making dovetails; cleaning out the waste areas. And are the depth stops precise and solid?Thank You
Answer:	I used them on a ParCan64 and they worked fine. Depending on how long the light is on, they do have a tendency to warp however, but I assume that's typical of any gel material. Just make sure to remove the thin clear protective film from BOTH sides of the gel. That helps a bunch with clarity.
