I found myself in the latter situation - unable to find a plunge router base for my Ryobi fixed router available separately - and wasn't particularly thrilled about buying a whole new plunge router that I would only find the need for occasionally. Purchasing a combo router kit can sometimes be prohibitively expensive, and for those who already own a fixed router but find themselves in need of a plunge router for a particular project, it isn't always possible or reasonably affordable to find a manufacturer-produced plunge base for their specific model. For most projects, a fixed router will take care of the job handily, but there are times when a plunge router is helpful or necessary. Comes with CD-ROM, carrying case, transparent sub-base, 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch self-releasing collets, one wrench, dust collection insert, and table-top height adjustment handle with measurement ring.For many beginning woodworkers, the dilemma of whether to buy a fixed or plunge router (and when/why to use one over the other) can be confusing.Motor transitions quickly between GripVacā¢ base (included), plunge base (included), and traditional spiral down bases (690 series).Collets included to accept 1/4" and 1/2" shank bits.Flat side on plunge base allows user to work in tighter spaces and provides a straight reference point.Sub-base centering gauge ensures router bit concentricity.Clear Lexan sub-base provides improved durability and bit visibility.Rack and pinion adjustment provides fine depth settings to 1/128" (fixed base only).Durable latch lever enables quick and simple coarse depth adjustments and motor release for transition between bases.Spindle lock feature allows for single wrench bit changes.Overmoulded grips for greater comfort in extended use.Dual-position switch allows user to cut power while maintaining control of the router.Depth rod with 6-position adjustable turret enables stepped or repeated plunge cuts.Plunge base offers through-the-column dust collection for efficient dust removal and improved bit and cut-line visibility.Plunge base features machined brass bushings and steel guide rods for a smooth, free-flowing plunge stroke.Release the motor, adjust bit height and clamp the motor from above the router table with model #75301 kit (included).Variable-speed control feature (10,000 - 23,000 rpm) enables bit speed to be optimized for changing applications.Soft-starting, 12 Amp motor features full-time electronic feedback that maintains motor speed through the toughest applications.A great tool for woodworkers who are looking to make exact or rounded cuts. This kit also works with most 890 and 690 router series bases and comes with a helpful CD-ROM that breaks down the process of constructing a work table. Releasing the motor from above, rather than below, makes it a breeze to switch between the fixed-base and plunge-base router.

Whether you are working with cabinets or creating a custom woodworking design with a template, this plunge router will help you do the job.
