Will this base fit the Ridgid 2401 compact router? The 2401 has a smaller opening hence I'm not able to use my larger profile bits.

No, the holes on the Dewalt 614 base do not match up to the holes on the Rigid 2401 router. Rigid might sell a different base that would be of help. But for what it is worth---in order to install a guide bushing that needed a 1 1/4 hole I put a 1 5/16 round over bit into the 2401, I put the 2401 back together, and slowly ran the larger bit down through the base and all is okay. It cut just the plastic base, the aluminum base is just a bit larger than 1 5/16. I have 2 of each the 2401 and the 614 routers. They are both very good routers.

I have the same router on mine. I had to drill new holes to fit mine on it. It wasnt difficult at all. Just place the router on the jig with the bit centered in the hole and trace it out. Then take the bottom plastic piece off the base to mark the holes out. Just dont forget to countersink the screw heads into the jig and drill through it slowly to avoid cracking the jig.

James, I don't see why not. The 1/4" plunge shaft request a 1/4" bits. The Edge guide must fit your router, because the mounting plate will fit 1/4" as well as 1/2". Regards

The two previous posts/ comments are correct. Yes, it should fit, but it's not pre-drilled to fit 25 different router sizes, shapes and hole configurations, so it means you don't have an insert plate that looks like swiss cheese. You use the clear template included to mark and drill holes in the insert plate that match your router exactly.

I'm afraid I don't know, I only have the RP2301FC. But looking around google entering the model numbers of your router and this template guide, it seems to. I'd call a Makita dealer to be sure.

I use a dewalt palm router with mine. It's the diameter of the base you need to be concerned with. There are 3 tabs for leveling and do are used to support the plate the router is attached to. The 1/4" thick x 5-3/4" diameter acrylic base, what I am talking about. The tabs extend inward no more than about 5/8th's of an inch. Can measure and edit later. Of course, if you don't mind modifying your base on your plunge router, no reason it wouldn't work.

Hi Ben... Absolutely... Just make sure that you have the correct collet that fits the shank of the bit(s). If you don't have the correct collet you can get one at Amazon or you local Home Depot. You also need to need to make sure that the guide bushings that come with the bit set will fit the base of your router. I have the same set and use it with my Porter-Cable or equivalent base. Again... You can get one at Home Depot or on Amazon to fit your set. M. Watson, JANVS WOODWORKS

FYI, This guide Fits perfectly on a Makita RT0701CX7 1 ¼ compact plunge router using the Plunge base.

I haven't used the bearings on other bits because those other bits come with their own bearings. The bearings in this rabbet set should fit other bits that normally accept bearings but the best thing is to check the Whiteside website for the bearing # on the router bit you want to use it on. The rabbet set comes with 7 different size bearings.

Have a look on page 15 of the router table's manual (http://mdm.boschwebservices.com/files/r19002v2.pdf). Ridgid isn't listed, however you might be able to match your mounting plate type to one of those listed.I've enjoyed having the table (my first) and have become quite comfortable using it with my Hitachi router. You do need to check that the plate is level with the table quite often so you don't get uneven grooves and rabbets. Good purchase overall.

No, Router bits for1/2" has a larger diameter shaft/shank which is 1/2" and uses 1/2" collet. If you desire to use 1/4" router bit which has a 1/4" diameter shaft/shank, than you need to change the collet to accommodate a 1/4" bit. Is money well spend to have a 1/4" collet.

Disregard my previous answer. I have the Skil Router and thought that is what I was answering the question about. Sorry about the mix up. I have no idea what size shank the B&D router takes but it should say in the description of the item.

I just measured this with a dial caliper, the Template Guide measures 2.435" on the shoulder and 2.667" on the outer rim, a clean snug fit on both our old Makita 3621 Routers and our newer RP0900 Routers, another respondent reported nearly identical dimensions, so unless your dimension is misprinted, this will not fit your machine. This Plate also fit the old Makita 3612 Router, which had the same recess in the baseplate to receive it. I have not seen a Makita Router with a threaded receiver. We use either Porter-Cable or Templaco Bushings with this plate, and have had no problem with either brand, they both fit this adapter well.

You should be able to use it - but, you would have to manually lower your bit - in order to cut a circle out of material - if your just using it to make a shallow design (etc.) - my suggestion is to purchase a plunge base for your older router.

No, it will not work with the base that comes with the router. You will have to get a base with a 15/16 opening

I have the rt0700c router, and it fit that one fine. not sure about the rt0701c...try calling makita

If it does not already have pre drilled holes that fit, all you have to do is center your router base on it and drill some new ones with a counter sunk drill bit. Drill holes with a standard bit on the side that mates with your router base and turn it over for the counter sink bit so your screws will fit flush. I did this with 2 different routers ( A Skill & a Ryobi). It turned out fine. I recommend you do this with a router bushing to ensure it centers properly if you ever plan on using bits with bushings in the future. The base is high quality and very sturdy and I am very happy with it.
