Elmer Router Base

I am very happy with this router base. I had a cheaper version that I got on eBay which had tons of slack so I was skeptical about buying another but this one is so much better.

Buy the Tools and Do it Yourself

Howdy from Texas, I ordered three (3) IYV headless basses direct from the Vietnamese manufacturer during Covid, knowing they'd probably need setting up. Oh boy, do they. I have to lower the single bridges to make the basses playable, and the Elmer router base and Dremel 3100 tool will make the job fun to do. Very well priced, too. Thumbs up.

Very solid base

TLDR; Very solid unit that far surpasses Dremel's own (mostly plastic) router base. Great visibility. Lost a star due to fussy adjustability and lack of plunge routing capability. Still very happy to have it! Lots of pluses here: - Super simple to attach to the rotary tool and leaves easy access to controls. - Great sight line to cutting bit - Extremely sturdy and solid construction, with very good workmanship and finish - Air inlet for chip clearing is a solid plus - Attractive unit, really like the contrast between powder coat, brass and stainless steel. - Positive bit setting and easy to dial in exact depth. - No play once locked in Some cons: - Not really designed to facilitate plunge routing - very little travel in height - Fussy to dial in depth - Not clear why one support post "floats". It would have been more rigid to have both traveling in bushings w/ springs.
