Nice illustration of the two router base - love your work!!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Ozzie!👍👍

This isn't about the video so much as it is about how you guys do business. Let me just say that it is rare that people put such personal touches on interactions with customers but you guys are a breath of fresh air. I ordered the plate for my new router and it came with a personal, handwritten thank you note on the invoice and a glossy thank you card with a piece of candy. Super classy. You honestly don't see anything like that anymore. Thank you for reminding me what it's like to be thankful for your customers.

[@oldave100]

Thank You Johnny!!! Wow, we are humbled and grateful for your kind words. We ARE, have ALWAYS BEEN, and FOREVER WILL BE, deeply grateful for anyone watching our videos, and supporting us by buying any of our products.

[@martinkowalik2182]

Thank you for this upload!! Really appreciate the info and the comparison of the standard base and modified base.

[@oldave100]

You're very welcome Martin, happy to help. Thank you for watching...

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Eric, great information on modifying the base 👍👍, appreciate your sharing. Fred.

[@oldave100]

Thank you Fred, I appreciate it....

This is the reason I bought the Ridgid router. It had the opening on both sides so I didn't have to change it. It works great for me.

[@oldave100]

The Ridgid is a great router, happy it's working for you.

[@zipperrrrr]

good demo,explained a lot

[@oldave100]

Thank you for watching, happy it helped.

[@emilkiyak2344]

i have the rigid router, which has an open back...love it . as for the vacuum hose attachment .it is more of a pain that it is worth . too much restrictions .

[@oldave100]

LOL... so funny to me. I tried dozens of way to do it in the first few years of carving and that was my conclusion exactly...

[@barryfigel9957]

Thank you again

[@oldave100]

Thank you Barry...

[@danyodice1048]

Nice my friend...🤘🤘

[@oldave100]

Thank you buddy...

[@robertcowan5545]

For those on the fence, this modification is a must. Not hard to do. Watch the video on it. Dave & Eric will show how to do it.

[@oldave100]

Thank you Bob...

Thanks for all the videos, I've been getting my shop together and working on a router arsenal. Will the Dewalt cordless router fit the 611 base? Looks like they just added rubber overmolding, but wasn't sure?

[@oldave100]

Yes sir, they have the same bolt pattern.

[@BobL1]

Great demo. But 2nd time you had rear cutout facing you.

[@oldave100]

Yep that's right, Good eye, I didn't notice that until I had already edited it. I should have had them both pointed the same way but I think the experiment still would have come out virtually the same.

[@skylerjohnson5306]

I open up both sides on my Dewalt like you have yours and it seems like a lot of dust is still coming towards me. Do you have any more tips or what I may be doing wrong? Do you thing the baseplate that I am using can be a reason as well?

[@oldave100]

Not sure why that wouldn't work. Try rotating the router 180 degrees and see if it's any better. Sometimes that makes a difference. Email me if you have any other questions, [e-mail]

[@markduggan3451]

My router is one of the bigger ones and it is open both sides.

[@oldave100]

That works...
