Compact Router Plunge Base

A:  Yes and no. The router comes with an extra base that will accept bushings. The extra base that comes with the router is dual drilled so it fits the plunge base also. So I do not see why the plunge base won't work if you change the plunge base for the bushing base that came with the router..

A:  I dont know but it fits 5615-20. are they the same size?

A:  Yes

A:  Hello! This plunge base is designed for use with the 2723-20 M18 FUEL Compact Router. It features 2" of plunge depth and is compatible with the M18 FUEL Compact Router 5-3/4" template guide base.

A:  The manual says the largest bit size you can use is 1 1/2"

A:  The opening is 2" in diameter. The plastic is thin, roughly 1/8", I would carefully run the router bit down through it to get the larger opening, if I need it.

A:  It's a 1/4" shank router. You should NEVER run a bit that large in a 1/4" shank router. That is FAR too much stress on far too little steel just spinning it up let alone cutting. You need a much larger router to use that bit safely.

A:  JeffC, the Compact Router Plunge Base has a Plunge depth of 2".

A:  The Milwaukee Compact Router Plunge Base has a 2 inch diameter opening. It is thin plastic that could be routed larger. However, a 2 1/4 inch bit diameter seems very large for a 1/4 inch shank. The Milwaukee Compact Router is only capable of mounting a 1/4 inch shank in its collet.

A:  3 1/4”. So you should be able to use a 2 1/4” bit.  

A:  2” is the size of the opening. 

A:  Yes it comes with a dust shroud that has a collection port on it

A:  yes

A:  The simple answer is yes, It mounts using a horseshoe shaped rod that goes through the shroud base to position it to the lower area if the plunge base. If you look at the picture posted with the question, you can see the two holes with thumb screws used to hold the rod with shroud in position. This shroud also has a port for dust collection hose. 1 1/2 outside diameter, 1 11/16 inside diameter where the hose will connect. If you already have the router with the original base the shroud that comes with it looks exactly the same where it hooks up to the vacuum hose, but the dust shroud actually is circular with a hole in the middle that the router shaft goes through ,included with the plunge base, it is made of clear transparent plastic.

A:  No
