I realize there is very little chance, but -
Is there any aftermarket plunge base that takes the Milwaukee 5625 motor? I have one just sitting on the shelf for years, as I never got around to buying a router table. I just haven't needed one, between my track system and hand planes.
On my track, I always use my DW618. No complaints yet, but I've never really asked too much from it. I will soon be dealing with very tough & thick stock, and weight is not an issue on my track, so I thought I might try my 5625.
But not having a plunge feature would suck, and I don't want to keep both routers mounted on track bases.
So ?
---------------------
If not, what do you consider the best currently made, powerful plunge router (besides Festool) ?
The Makita? The Triton? Porter Cable?
I would think all of these are well made & powerful, so my big concerns would be ease / accuracy of depth adjustment, and (second) dust control.
