| Registered User Forum Fanatic  |  Flat side of base plunge base What is it for? On my base, I have a sub base, and the plunge base, which are round, with a flat edge on one side. I have the KM12VC http://images.lowes.com/product/717709/717709009721.jpg You can't really see it in the image there, but it's on the back side of the plunge base in the above image. I also notice it on the PC routers, as well others. What is this used for? (I can dream up a few things, but wanted to check with the local experts) Thanks!

| Retired Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Al ot of routers have a flat side on the base plate Noddy. My dewalts do. That's the edge to use anytime you are following a straight edge of any kind while free handing. See the bottom of the Rabbet post that we had yesterday ... kind of ended with this discussion. http://www.routerforums.com/portable...g-plywood.html Corey
