Are any of the bits included here you'd use for plunge routing suitable for plunge routing?

Frankly, after my son's experience with these router bits [2 blew up on first use]I wouldn't use them for routing at all...

The DWP611 Compact router won't fit out of the box... You can possibly fit the plunge base, but only on two screw holes.... But I wouldn't recommend it. Since I really wanted to mount the fixed base to the router table the path I took was to pick up some 3/8" polycarbonate (bought a 12x12" piece, but only needed 6x6") drilled the holes to mount it to the Dewalt Fixed base and purchased some brass threaded inserts to use to mount the polycarbonate to the metal plate that ships with the Bosch table...

No, it will not fit your router. Completely different router housings. I doubt you will find any plunge bases for your router. Looks like you will have to purchase a new router to get one with a plunge base attachment.

You do not need a plunge, because you are running the edges. A plunge is used for dropping your cutting bit down on the face. If you try without a plunge it will almost always jump around on you destroying the piece you are milling.

Does not need to be a plunge router, however you would need to be careful not to nick the sign material, as you would need to have the router running before you start to cut the wood. Plunge router is much easier.

If you're just doing round overs then no, probably not. Plunge bases are great for safety reasons (protects the bit and your fingers), but mainly if you are using guide bushings, cutting mortises, dovetails, inlay, or alike - then I would definitely recommend it.

Since I don't have such a device I don't know but would refer you to previous posts about the adaptability of this base. It has many drillings that would suggest it would fit many possible routers. However, this design is probably fairly old and I don't know if it has kept up with the changes in the industry. It usually can be adapted to any router in its size range with a little care and precision. I have three of these and am currently adapting one of them to my Ryobi 3.5 HP plunge router. It's a challenge on this machine but doable. See my previous posts on this for more info.

It comes with 1/4" & 1/2" collets. Not sure if this is what you mean. It has variable speed & plenty of power so it should handle any standard routing job.

yes my manual says this, An optional guide bush adaptor with 7 different template guide bushes are available for template routing. This accessory kit (part no. TGA150) is available though your local triton retailer

I suppose it could, though not designed for that. I think that a true plunge cut bit might have a bit more offset and grind on the leading (bottom) edges for relief. If looking for a plunge cut bit, why not buy one and save the money....I'm sure the bearing costs extra and you wouldn't need it.

James, I don't see why not. The 1/4" plunge shaft request a 1/4" bits. The Edge guide must fit your router, because the mounting plate will fit 1/4" as well as 1/2". Regards

RZ100 is for the big plunge routers, but if you contact them they may have something that might.

No, you don't need a dedicated router, but can't use a plunge base. Buy a Porter Cable 690 or a variable speed#718 motor onlly. The JessEm is the best!

Troy.....I cannot remember if there were any routing bits. I am in WI for the summer and I left the kit in FL. Sorry.

Depends on the length of your tool. The Plunge base has 2" of travel total with an adjustable stop. Retracted the collet of the router is about 2" above the base. All the way down, 2", and the tool holder collet of the router is just slightly above the bottom of the plunge base so no part of the collet is below the base. So the depth it will cut totally depends on the length of the cutting tool.

It will handle 1/2" and 1/4" shank bits. I've used 3 1/2" raised panel bits in it with no problems, athough I did those cuts in 2-3 passes. Regardless of the router, a full cut with those bits is not recommended anyway.

I bought this guide specifically for my DWP611 1/4" variable speed plunge router and it works perfectly on the base that comes with the router. I love the guide - I use it mostly for inlay jobs and the fine tuning mechanism is great. I highly recommend if for the small router and see no reason why it would not work well on larger routers also.
