Mortise Base

Stabilize your plunge router on narrow stock. 

If it has guide rods, we can probably fit it. Woodpeckers Mortise Base fits just about any plunge router. Big or little, corded or cordless, latest and greatest or a vintage classic. We offer 4 sizes of guide rods, 1/4", 5/16" (8mm), 3/8" and 10mm. If you're not sure of your guide rod dimension, use the chuck end of a drill bit to check the guide rod opening. The cleverly designed fence mounting system adapts to any spacing between the rods and any spacing from the rods to the bottom of the base plate (up to 1/2"). 

Face indexing avoids alignment issues. Just make sure you keep the engraved fence against the exposed face of your material and your joints will align perfectly. If there's a variation in stock thickness, it will be on the hidden side of the assembly. The Mortise Base works equally well for loose tenon joinery or cutting mortises for machine-cut or hand-cut tenons. 

The guide rods, fence rods and hardware are all stainless steel. The fences and brackets are milled from aircraft grade aluminum and surface-treated for appearance, corrosion resistance and friction reduction. This is a lifetime tool that can easily be reconfigured for any router you may get in the future.  

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Mortise Base is precisely machined and carefully inspected in our shop in Strongsville, Ohio (just south of Cleveland).
