Makita RC0701 Series Router Base Plate
I was tired of trying to balance stock on the small round base plate that comes standard on the RC0701 series of compact routers so I made a quick and simple base plate upgrade for my RC0701C router. The base plate measures 120mm x 120mm (4-3/4” x 4-3/4”), and adds support and stability when hand routing against an edge.
The base plate can easily be recessed into a surface for table top routing and has a recessed cutout to retain thumbscrew access for adding or removing the OEM router straight guide.
Made of 1/4” (6mm) thick acrylic sheeting and available in black. Uses existing OEM base plate mounting screws.
SIC plate now accommodate bits with a diameter of up to 1.5” (40mm).
