MAKITA 198987-9 Tilt Base Set RT0700/DRT50

The Makita 198987-9 Tilt Base Set is a versatile expansion attachment for specific palm routers, enabling users to perform angled cuts and chamfering applications with standard straight bits. By swapping the standard fixed base for this tilting assembly, the router can be adjusted to various angles relative to the workpiece, which is particularly useful for creating bevelled edges, angled grooves, or working in confined spaces where a vertical approach is difficult. The unit features an ergonomic body design similar to the standard base but adds a precision pivoting mechanism for controlled angle retention.

Part No: 198987-9(MAKAC198987-9)

• Wide Tilting Range: The base offers a generous adjustment range of minus 30 degrees to positive 45 degrees, allowing for a broad spectrum of angled profiles and chamfers using standard router cutters.
• Precision Depth Control: It integrates with the router's existing depth adjustment system, ensuring cut depth remains accurate even when the base is set at an incline.
• Enhanced Grip Surface: The body is wrapped in a non-slip elastomer coating, which provides a secure, comfortable hold and helps reduce vibration transfer to the hand during operation.
• Surface Protection: A replaceable non-marring plastic base plate is fitted to the bottom to ensure smooth gliding over the workpiece without scratching or damaging delicate laminates or veneers.
• Robust Construction: The core housing is manufactured from durable aluminium, providing the necessary rigidity to maintain accurate angles under load while keeping the overall weight low.
• Tool-Less Locking System: Features a simple cam-lock lever that allows for quick installation and removal of the router motor, as well as fast angle adjustments without needing complex tools.
• Versatile Application: Eliminates the need to buy specific angled router bits for every degree of chamfer, as the base itself adjusts to create the desired angle with a standard straight bit.

• Tilting Capacity: -30° to +45°
• Compatible Models: Makita RT0700C, RT0700CX2, RT0702C, DRT50 (18V LXT), and RT001G (40V XGT)
