Product Description
The CMT300-SB2 Universal Router Base is a precision-engineered router plate designed to expand the compatibility of the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig. Accommodating both 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. shank routers, this universal base plate allows woodworkers to connect a wide range of hand routers to the CMT300 dovetail jig system - making it a practical solution for those whose router does not mate with the standard template guide mounting configuration of the jig. Whether you are cutting dovetail joints in hardwood or routing templates in sheet goods, this sub-base keeps your setup accurate and properly aligned.
Key Features
- Universal router plate for 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. shanks - accepts a broad range of hand routers regardless of shank size, reducing the need for multiple dedicated sub-bases or adapters.
- Designed specifically for the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig - provides a secure, properly fitted connection between your router and the CMT300 system, helping to maintain alignment and cut quality during dovetail and template routing operations.
- Shank range of 6.35 mm - 12.7 mm (1/4 in. - 1/2 in.) - covers the two most common router collet sizes used in woodworking, giving you flexibility across your tool inventory.
- Universal dovetail jig compatibility - pairs directly with the CMT300 platform, so you can achieve repeatable, consistent dovetail joints without worrying about mismatched mounting hardware.
Why This Product
- If your router does not fit the standard template guide mounting of the CMT300 dovetail jig, this sub-base solves that compatibility gap immediately - no custom fabrication or workarounds required.
- Supporting both 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. shank sizes in a single plate means you are not locked into one router or one collet size, giving you room to work with the tools you already own.
- Purpose-built for the CMT300 Universal Dovetail Jig, this base plate integrates cleanly into the existing jig system rather than functioning as a generic afterthought, keeping your routing setup precise and repeatable.
- Suitable for use across a wide range of workpiece materials - from solid hardwoods and softwoods to plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, and plastics - this base plate supports versatile template and dovetail routing applications.
