Abstract
An indexing router base (100), includes a main body (102). The main body includes: an upper surface (110) and a lower surface (112); a central opening (114) through the main body; a raised guide ring (116) that protrudes upward from the upper surface and that surrounds the central opening; and a linear cleat (118) that protrudes downward from the lower surface, that is set apart from a center (114C) of the central opening, and that defines a long axis (118L) that is perpendicular to a radial line (124) originating at the center of the central opening.

An indexing router base, comprising a main body, wherein the main body comprises:
- an upper surface and a lower surface;
- a central opening through the main body;
- a raised guide ring that protrudes upward from the upper surface and that surrounds the central opening;
- a linear cleat that protrudes downward from the lower surface, that is set apart from a center of the central opening, and that defines a long axis that is perpendicular to a radial line originating at the center of the central opening;
- and
- wherein the main body, the linear cleat, and the raised guide ring are features of a unipartite main body.
An indexing router base, comprising a main body, wherein the main body comprises:
- an upper surface and a lower surface;
- a central opening through the main body;
- and
- a raised guide ring that protrudes upward from the upper surface, that surrounds the central opening, and that defines an outer diameter of 1.36″;
- a linear cleat that protrudes downward from the lower surface, that is set apart from a center of the central opening, and that defines a long axis that is perpendicular to a radial line originating at the center of the central opening;
- and
- wherein the indexing router base is free of an adjustment feature that would enable movement of the linear cleat relative to the raised guide ring.
An indexing router base, comprising a main body, wherein the main body comprises:
- an upper surface and a lower surface;
- a central opening through the main body;
- a raised guide ring that protrudes upward from the upper surface and that surrounds the central opening;
- a linear cleat that protrudes downward from the lower surface, that is set apart from a center of the central opening, and that defines a long axis that is perpendicular to a radial line originating at the center of the central opening;
- a dust groove that is recessed into the lower surface and that is oriented parallel to the linear cleat, wherein the central opening opens into the dust groove;
- and
- a handle configured to be secured to the upper surface, to be set apart from the center of the central opening, and to straddle the radial line when the indexing router base is viewed from above.
