What if my make and model isn't listed?
If your make and model isn't listed, choose the Single Grip Blank Router Base Plate and drill your own mounting holes to fit your specific router. Ideal for Bauer, Craftsman, Skil, Hart, Kobalt, and other routers.
Do the Single Grip Router Base Plates come with pre-drilled mounting holes?
Yes, the brand-specific Single Grip Router Base Plates come with pre-drilled holes ready to go. No more fumbling through dozens of universal hole patterns.
Do the Single Grip Router Base Plate need a centering cone when installing?
You typically do not need a centering cone when installing a Single Grip Router Base Plate.
Our plates are precision-designed to align with your router’s factory mounting holes, so as long as you install it evenly and snug down the screws, you’ll be properly centered for most applications.
That said, if you want absolute precision (especially for things like guide bushings or very tight tolerance work), using a centering cone can help fine-tune alignment.

No, the Single Grip Router Base Plates do not come with a router, guide bushings, or router bits.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Router base was shipped quickly. I had ordered 2 and through a mixup, only 1 was sent. Contacted Kevin and he immediately sent me out the missing one that day.
Solid base, great quality. The extra stability in use has been a game changer for the trim router.
Absolutely an excellent base plate. I have the single, double, and round plate for my Makita routers and they are exactly what I want: Super flat, thick, stable and therefore accurate. If you are looking for superior aftermarket router baseplates, stop looking,
This accessory is great, makes the router a lot easier and safer to use. Also very easy to pickup from the handle vs. the base. Highly recommend and would buy again.
I have several base plates from different manufacutures and my Wood Grains are better than the rest.
Fabulous roiuter plate - well constructed, makes my router so much more stable. Thanks!
Well made, thick base is not flimsy. It would take a very hard hit to break it. The ergonomics makes this tool very comfortable to use.
This is my second Wood Grain Junkie router base. I have others, but reach for this one all the time. The material is thicker and it is well made.
I really like the index mark on the new one. It save a little time mounting it to my routers.
Fit as it should, works great, great modification to my palm router
Exactly as pictured ‘n described. Thanks for an excellent Etsy experience!
This review has no content.
It is exactly what you need when you do a lot of edge trimming or templates as I can hold this steady and flat against the surface and no rolling.
Perfect
This is incredible!
It's a great product. Very happy with it!
Item is as described and fits my router, no complaints!
Very nice fits perfectly much better than stock base
Definitely helps out on composite decking where I round over my last cut board. Definitely helps on the slick material.
Made routing much easier and provided much needed support over the stock makita base.
Item is just what I needed to make my router more versatile. Item seems to be designed well and appears to be made of materials that should last
I'm sure the product is fine but when shipping to Hawaii you should ship USPS Priority Mail instead of Select Ground. Priority Mail takes about 3-4 days where Select is 8-12 weeks depending on how fast the shipping containers get filled at the different ports along the way. Hopefully this will arrive sometime during the coming summer.
Money maker my new wood eater!!!!
My only gripe with it is that it can only lineup with the control on the outside (away from handle) like it’s pictured on the site. I thought i would have been able to have it with the controls facing the handle so I had the view window on the inside (hopefully that makes sense haha)
Just like advertised. Made a huge difference with my makita router
really great product ,high quality, well made
Very please with the quality of the item
Fit my router perfectly, thick acrylic and sets up with my guide bushings perfectly!
Two thumbs up I'd say!
Solid, well-made, good hardware, mounted up easily.
Top quality product and well worth the price! Nothing comparable available in the UK, so happy to take the shipping hit (outside the control of Woodgrain Junkie) to obtain a well designed and manufactured tool which will last. A breeze to mount my Makita router - all the hardware is supplied and a nice touch to include a WGJ decal!
I loved get more stability when using the router, good quality material l got more than I was expecting. I recommended 💯
