Product Description
72314 Dual Grip Router Base – When Dovetails and Inlays Demand Perfection
Intricate dovetail jigs, precision inlay work, and large panel routing demand more than a compact router's standard base can provide. The POWERTEC 72314 Dual Grip Router Base delivers 6" x 11" of rock-solid stability with dual ergonomic handles for absolute control on demanding routing operations. Crafted from durable 5/16" clear acrylic, this premium sub base expands your DeWalt DWP611 or DCW600B router's footprint while maintaining crystal-clear visibility—giving you the confidence to tackle complex joinery, follow intricate templates, and execute precision edge work on expensive hardwoods where mistakes aren't an option.
Engineered specifically for serious woodworkers tackling advanced projects, this dual-handle design provides balanced two-handed control that eliminates the fatigue and wobble that plague single-handle bases during extended routing sessions on large workpieces. The generous 6" x 11" footprint prevents tipping on narrow edges, provides stable support across wide panels, and delivers the solid platform needed for following dovetail templates, cutting precise inlay patterns, and executing flawless edge profiles. Compatible with Porter-Cable style guide bushings for template work, this base includes all mounting hardware for tool-free installation. Perfect for furniture makers executing complex joinery, cabinet builders routing large panels, and woodworking artisans whose reputation depends on precision results—not close-enough approximations.
