“ Just received your base. I guess it’s a perfect example of you get what you pay for. It’s a work of art. Thanks. ”
“ I had so much fun testing this tool that I found myself looking for any good excuse to use it. Swiss-watch precision and smooth operation are combined in a package that is easier to compare to fine German sports cars than to other woodworking tools. ”
“ I received the Plunge Base today. First, the delivery was fast. Second, the whole package, from the manuals to the base are way above my expectation. I was worried how the slide would work. It is so smooth and even. I am so looking forward to using it. As a machinist gone woodworker it is a real treat to buy tools built by machinists for woodworkers. I could go on and on, but i just want to say thank you for your work. ”
“ Versatile and accurate, this little rig provides exceptionally precise milling capabilities (accurate to 0.001 in.) in a compact,
easily handled unit. Some are deterred by its cost, but there simply is nothing on the market that can match it. ”
“ Hi Rich, Thanks for the delivery of the Micro Fence plunge base which I received, as promised. I could not be more impressed with the quality of the tool, or rather, instrument. I used to attend the Model Engineering show at Wembly, England for about ten years when I lived in Europe and always lamented that there was nowhere such fine quality of materials, workmanship, and finish could be found for the ordinary man to purchase. Upon receiving the plunge base, I was really surprised to find that I couldn't, using the Model Engineers quality as frames for reference, find any lapses of judgment in the design or execution of the tool. Congratulations to me for being lucky enough to choose your product and congratulations to you for your fine product, ”
“ Superbly engineered, the two light rings are just the latest in a long line of products from noted woodworker Richard Wedler, who understands exactly what’s needed: he has been making custom cabinets and furniture for over forty years. ”

The Micro Fence Original Plunge Base is one of the foundation pieces of our system and is compatible with all existing Micro Fence products. Used with the Micro Fence Edge Guide or Circle Jig, you’ll have all the elements of a precision milling machine. Introduced in 2006, the Plunge Base was honored in the “Best New Tool” review of Popular Woodworking magazine. In 2011 it received the AWFS Sequoia Award for “Leadership in Product Innovation” in the Power Tools category.
A number of accessories are listed below and shown in the thumbnail pictures to the left that can expand the versatility of this tool (more information on each accessory is available on the Accessories pages).
If you’re interested in a more complete kit, our Package Deals page offers combinations that include our foundation pieces with the Plunge Base.
Please note: The bore in the motor carriage of the Plunge Base is for the Bosch Colt PR10/20 and requires no additional adapter. All other laminate trimmers have smaller diameters and will require either an adapter ring or cup. If your router needs an adapter (those marked with an asterisk* in the drop-down box below menu), it will need to be added. See Accessories (Short List) listed below. The dust hood kits are available separately or together in a kit.
See the specifications section below for details regarding motors with push button arbor lock systems.
