Makita/Katsu Bases.

[phil p]

Morning,

Does anyone know whether the Katsu plunge base fits the Makita DRT cordless router.

Thinking of purchasing the Makita and already have the Katsu so wondering if I can save a few quid on the base.

Yes, the Katsu plunge base fits the Makita.

The quality is not quite as nice as the Makita original.

This is a bargain:

Thanks for the info ChaiLatte.
I take it that Excel base also fits the Makita?

Yes. I bought 3 or 4. One to use as is, one that I put a small rectangular perspex base onto, one for a 3x3 custom style base, one spare.

I bought one for my corded makita trim router. It fitted OK but I needed to buy a makita toothed wheel to replace the one in the unit. The wheel was cheap enough as a makita spare, so the new base was still a bargain.
The two wheels had different numbers of teeth, and the original one didn't work properly (at all).

Thank again ChaiLatte.

Yep, that's it, I bought parts 39, 40 and 46 as well, but I didn't need them, you just need the cog wheel, 41.
