492574 Small Bore Base for OF1400 problems

[ear3]

The base arrived two weeks ago, but I just pulled it out to use, and discovered that the base was cupped.  Fortunately I'm still within the return/replace window, so I will be sending it back, but I'm wondering if anyone has had issues with this or some of the other thin router bases being defective in this way?

Hey Edward,
just curious as to how much the base was cupped/out of flat?

 

[ear3]

A lot. I'll post a pic when I get home.

That's a ton, appears to be around .060'" or about 1/16". I guess I would expect a flatness of around .015"-.020" to be typical.

Amazing

... Fortunately I'm still within the return/replace window, ...

The warranty is legendary, but one would expect that the quality would not necessitate a claim.
There is not a lot of Q&A involved in checking flatness.

Better check... It may also be askew to the axis of rotation. (or the base is tilted).

Might be a lot flatter if it is connected… And if that is true this is a design choice.

I thought this might be the case, so I went to the dealer and checked their stock of small bore bases.  They were all perfectly flat.
