Plunge Base
$399.95


Popular Woodworking’s Best New Tool 2006!
 "Swiss-watch precision and smooth operation are combined in a package that is easier to compare to a fine German sports car than to other woodworking tools.”  -Robert Lang, Popular Woodworking, April 2006   


 REQUIREMENTS: Plunge Base Mounting Bar  (and if you are purchasing for any other trimmer besides the PR20, you MUST order an Adapter Ring.

For years, customers have been telling us that they wish there was a 'Micro Fence'-type control for the vertical adjustment on their plunge routers. Our Plunge Base does just that. We've taken the patented micrometer dial/spindle assembly that we use in the Micro Fence System and adapted it to provide thousandth-of-an-inch control in the vertical axis.

The Micro Fence Plunge Base brings scalpel-like control to your routing operations and offers the ultimate in set-up accuracy and efficiency. Used with the Micro Fence Edge Guide, you’ll have all the elements of a precision milling machine:

  1. The LED Light Source provides unprecedented clarity in the work area and can be mounted in any of four different positions in either the motor carriage or the base. (Multiple lights can also be installed, above and below or front and back).
  2. The three-position turret indexes on a spring-loaded ball to seat precision-machined stops.
  3. A clearly marked stop rod limits your depth of cut to any tolerance you prefer. The stops provide 1/8” increments within .0015 tolerance. All other depths can be controlled by the stop rod and Micro Fence micrometer dial.

The Micro Fence Plunge Base, one of the foundation pieces of our system, is compatible with all existing Micro Fence products and accepts several brands of laminate trimmer motors. As noted above, if you plan to use your Plunge Base for any other laminate trimmer besides the PR20 you will require an Adaptor Ring.
