Was exploring routers the other day; particularly the DeWALT 3 hp EVS Plunge Router and the Milwaukee 3-1/2 Max HP Fixed-Base Production Router. I came across this adapter from DeWALT. I knew Festool made one but had no idea anyone else made one.

Anyone ever seen or used it? Is it any good?

I have one. I like it. It’s not particularly easy to setup and adjust but once you get it figured out, it works as intended.

Looks like a good thing to have around.

Ricky is right. I found it a little finicky at first but once you get it dialed in it works great.
