Question Converting fixed base to plunge base.

Hi folks, I currently have a fixed base router that I use for my router table. I'm not in a big hurry to get the plunge base router yet but would at least like to know of some accessory or plans to make one. I'm just waiting until I can afford to get the Porter-Cable combo kit. In the mean time, anyone know of some type of plans or accessory to make a fixed base router into a plunge base? I seen the accessory in one of the books I have but don't know where to get one. Later...

depending on the brand of router you have, a plunge base may already exist as an accessory. I have seen the individual bases for various types of routers on Ebay.

I did a quick search, and did not find anyone with plunge base plans.
hope this helps,

Go to the manufacturer of your router's web page and see what they have to offer for it.

Yeah, I did a search too and didn't find any either. But that's okay, no biggy. I was just thinking about it. I'm not in need of a plunge router yet but would still like to have one. Thanks kp91!

Nope, they don't have any! But thanks though! Just a thought!
