If I am just rounding edges, do I need the plunge adapter? If so, why?

You do not need a plunge, because you are running the edges. A plunge is used for dropping your cutting bit down on the face. If you try without a plunge it will almost always jump around on you destroying the piece you are milling.

To just round edges of wood you would not need the plunge adapter you can set the depth on the fixed base .

No, you would not want to use the fixed base for that. I would only use the plunge base when making a plunge cut, such as cutting inlays, mortices or stopped groves on the surface of a board. Enge profiling is best done with the fixed base, you also have better control when you grip the router near the bottom.

If you're just doing round overs then no, probably not. Plunge bases are great for safety reasons (protects the bit and your fingers), but mainly if you are using guide bushings, cutting mortises, dovetails, inlay, or alike - then I would definitely recommend it.

Not experienced enough. My first router. I rounded edges for my 1st project without the plunge base. The accessory edge guide that works with the plunge base is nice. Best thing about the plunge base is it is easier to hold and guide straight without tilting plus if you want to start a slot in the middle of a piece or start a rounded edge somewhere in the middle of a board it'd work better. Depth adjustments are easier with the plunge base. Like before, I'm not an experienced router user.

No, sorry We don't think it is anything to do with the adapter I feel the portions are a little difficult to set It took us some time to do this

It is on the small side for a plunge router. It is designed to clamp to a work surface. The base is made of MDF. Plunge router might be too heavy for this. Trim router works great.

You don't need a plunge router but having one will make your job a lot easier. I made an address number sign and used a regular router. You just have to be careful each time you set the router into the letter or number guide so that you don't damage the plastic guide. Once you have it set, then its the same technique whether its a plunge or regular router. It takes a few tries but it should be pretty easy to use.

Yes, you will need a spline to SDS adapter. I have a Milwaukee but Bosch makes one also.

The center of the plunger is 1" -- insufficient to hold 3/4" material. I'd recommend using a piece of 3/4" material below your 3/4" board to hold it at the proper height. Hope this helps.

It would be at the top edge of your work. However, if you cut a length of channel aluminum/iron with a hole drilled through one side and mounted to the end of the plunger. You would enlarge the contact point. This way, the clamping surface would be down and as wide as you need it.

I don't find any problem with mine, you just need to thumb-press that metal release and rotate the adapter in counter-clock wise direction... If you still have problem, please specify how you are getting stuck!!

Lynn, I recently got a new low flow toilette which has a weird oval shape opening. I tried using my basic plunger and it did not work at all. After reading reviews, I decided to try this one. It works very well for odd shaped holes. I was Leary when I got it, but it does work.

Some monitors have a round power plus on the bottom (or back) of the unit.You don't need an adapter if the monitor has the round plug.

Yes you can. It comes with only one 1 1/4'' adaptor but you will need to order a second for your other end. I ordered mine from Intex it was 3.46+ shipping. It is called a 1 1/4'' adaptor plunger valve. Found under replacement parts, above ground pools, APG accessories, saltwater system parts.

I bought the SDS tile bit. I know their is an adaptor that you can purchase for non SDS, I have not done so yet.

Yes, I have small kit of guide bushings that work in the fixed base and it came with an adapter for the plunge base which has a larger diameter recess than a standard PC router.Oh yeah, the brand name is Kempston.Kempston 99000 10 pcs Solid Brass Template Guide Kit With AdaptorGood Luck

It should not matter as long as you have a good contact with the CPU, and the hoses are not obstructed by bends. If your concerned contact support and explain the situation or provide pictures and ask for a recommendation.

Not "sharp" edges, but you do have to press them a little firmly to operate. I like that, so you aren't accidentally turning on/off during use. Maybe it's worth a trip to a sporting goods store for you to test out before you buy?

Be sure the 800 end is lined up right. There is a notch that lines up on the bottom side. I had trouble at first because I didn't notice this, but it does go in okay once it is lined up correctly. It might have been a bit tight, at first, but it goes in easily now.

It sure does, if fact that's what I use. I actually screw the tem-plate down and when I am done I just use a little filler to hide the holes prior to staining or painting. The plunge router makes it a lot easier to set the desired depth you want the letters to be.
