Newbie router user here and I greatly the appreciate heaps of advice, tips etc that I have been able to pick up from this site. Against many recommendations I bought myself a Ryobi 18v cordless router - I appreciate the limitations but the value is undeniable and am sure it will be fine for the level of use I will have for it. I have been looking around for ideas to add a plunge base to my kitbag, I understand that Ryobit dont offer one however given the pretty standard 65mm diameter I assumed that I could use one from Makita etc. I have seen some posts on this site that suggest that this will not work but perhaps some of the more experienced users will have some suggestions about options that might work.
Thanks in advance

Mike

Thanks for the suggestion, was able to find a retailer who was OK with me trying the fit of my Ryobi but unfortunately the plunge base sleeve was 2 or 3 mm too wide with the clamp closed and my feeling was that there was not potential to sufficiently tighten with the adjustment screw. Other that that the fitting incl slot for button seemed to have been designed for the Ryobi. :-(

Thanks for the suggestions and back to hoping that Ryobi base a plunge base on the drawing boards.

Cheers

Mike
