Do I need a plunge base for my trim router?

[Mike_Maple]

I bought a cheap Anesty router from Amazon last year, and since I started using it in the summer, I've found it to be very useful indeed, and I even made a router table for it. I noticed a couple of months ago that there is a Katsu plunge base that would fit it, and now people are asking me what I'd like for my birthday... Just wanted to know whether it's something that I'll get much use out of, though I realise it depends on what projects I'll be doing. Maybe it would be better to make do perhaps and then look to upgrade some years down the line to a larger router? That said, it's only £32.99, so perhaps I'm wasting your time here!
Thanks

The use of the plunge base does make a trimmer router more useful. The Katsu item is well made and easy to use. Go for it!

Excellent, thanks for the recommendation!

Yep - turns the trim router into a real router!

I now have 3 trim routers (1 x Katsu corded, 1 x Einhell cordless, 1 x unbranded corded) - unbranded in a router table with lift, Einhell in plunge and the Katsu freehand. Perfect.

Great, that's two for the plunge - will go for it!
Thanks both!
