Kress trim router base

thingiverse

I made this router base for my Kress 1050-1 router. It normally sits in my CNC machine, but it is just too nice not to use for anything else. It's a very accuate and powerful machine that fits in one hand, so with this base you can convert it to a trim/palm router. The height is adjustable with 3 screws. All screws in this desing are 10mm M5 machine screw and use M5 inserts (search ebay for "M5 Steel Threaded Flat Insert") There a two bottom half designs, one is completely round with a diameter of 10cm, the other has an indent of 1cm (so distance flat side to center is 4 cm) and has the option to screw on a accessory. I included an accessory block on which you can easily screw or glue a flat piece of 6mm thick plywood to use as a circle jig. The base clamps onto the router with a collarclamp. the neck of the Kress has a diameter of 43mm, so you can use it on other routers if the diameter is the same. A list of routers/spindels with a 43mm neck diameter: Kress 530-FM / 800-FME / 1050-FME / 1050-FME-1 Kress FM 6990 E / Kress FS 6901 E AEG GS 500 E AW-FSE 500 / 1050 / 1600 Bosch GGS 27C / GGS 28C / GGS 28LC / Isel UFM 500 / UFM 1050 Makita GD0600 / GD0800C Metabo FME 737 Proxxon BFW 40/E Suhner UAC 28-F / UAC 25-F / UAC 25-RF / UAC 30-RF Suhner UAD 28-F / UAD 25-RF / UAD 25-RF I printed it in ABS with 3 solid outlines and a infill of 35%
