Well since I always use my Dewalt and mostly use the Hitachi for hand held, I can’t believe when I got this router I never bothered checking the base rods/plunge accuracy with respect to the base. Well I had to do few joining operation on 1 inch wood this week and noticed the router bit is not 100% perpendicular to the base. After closer examination I noticed that when you plunge the router all the way down, on one side there is a gap.Also there's a difference between the distance from the top of the rods to the bottom of the rods. It seems that one of the plunge rods; the longer one is slightly off. And there’s a pin in there that holds it in the base and not an Allen screw so I’m not sure how to remove it or replace it.
The base is #61 |
