Description
This is an extended base for Makita trim routers (RT0700, DRT50, RT001G, etc)
Remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2519083
Update Nov 2025: I've uploaded an updated v2 base plate that fixes the outer edge so it is concentric with the spindle of the router.
I liked Wherzog’s design but found it was a bit flexible when printed in ABS, so I added a rib with an extra mounting bolt to stiffen it up. I also found the handle tended to come unscrewed in use, so I designed a new handle that is mounted with 2 screws instead of one. You can flip the handle around to adjust its position in or out by 15mm.
There are 2 versions of the handle, one designed for heatset inserts, the other for direct self tapping with M4 screws.
