DEWALT DNP617 Centering Cone for Fixed Base Compact Router , Silver

This is a well made product that does exactly what it advertises. I use it all the time.

Perfect for lining up your base plate.

This is built as well as you would expect and does its job!

Very accurate and quickly centered up my baseplate. However, it only works with the baseplate with the small bit opening, not the larger opening baseplate. I thought this would have been big enough to center both sizes but it is not.

Exelente producto yo llego a mi país Chile antes de lo esperado, permite centrar y calibrar mi roter

Used this on my Bosch trim router as well as my Dewalt plunge router. Centered face plate right up.

This is a good tool - it has the conical shape and a 1/4" shaft on one end & 1/2" shank on the other. It centers your sub base on your router with your cutting bit. However, I learned afterwards, I could of just re-drilled countersunk holes in the existing holes of the sub base that normally connect the base to the router, but , glad I have it now.

I bought this centering cone to use with my Bosch 1617 router based on the advertised dimensions (4.6 x 3.2 x 0.3 inches), Amazon's repeated recommendations (which, in turn, were based on my purchase history), and based on other Bosch 1617 owners' reviews which said they were using this centering cone with the same full-sized router. Although the product description does say it's for a fixed-base compact router, I thought I was safe based on all these other factors (in particular, the dimensions). As it turns out, the cone is about 1-3/4" in diameter and the pin is 1/4"on one end and 3/8" on the other end.Unfortunately, the cone is too small for the base plates that come with Bosch's 1617 router and the pin cannot be used with a 1/2" collet. The other reviewers who said they used this with their full-sized Bosch routers must be using aftermarket baseplates and forgot to mention it in their reviews. Not a big deal, I suppose, because you can just use your router and chamfering bit to make your own bigger cone from wood or plastic. But it's still a hassle, considering that it couldn't have cost Dewalt much more to make the cone just a little bigger.I was also disappointed with the amount of play with the included plastic cone. It wobbles enough that you need to wrap a few layers of Scotch tape or a layer of electrical tape around the pin to actually get the base plate centered.I ended up sending it back because of the size issue and imprecision. If you have a trim router or if your subbase hole is small, this centering cone will probably work fine; but you may have to wrap some tape around the pin.
