RIP OFF - NO provision to use edge guide with plunge base without another purchase
Formerly the plunge base included a nice little extra part that is mysteriously unavailable. This part enabled the use of the included straight guide or to just use the part itself as a guide. Now in order to use a straight guide with the plunge base you have to PURCHASE a straight guide which is junk for the money, (look at the Makita euro straight guides for the
RT0701C, Makita Micro Adjustable Straight Guide Fence 193312-9 ) and you will realize the JUNK we are offered here.
Alternatively you can purchase Rocky 30 plunge base which includes the mystery part shown in the photo.
