FAQs
Is this base plate compatible with other brands of routers?
No, this part is specifically manufactured for the Trend T4E 1/4 inch plunge router.
How often should I replace the base plate?
You should replace the plate if you notice deep scratches, cracks, or if the router base no longer sits flat on the workpiece.
Does this plate come with mounting screws?
It is recommended to reuse your existing high-quality mounting screws, though ensure they are in good condition before re-installation.
Can I use this for the Trend T4 (non-E) model?
The WP-T4/061 is designed for the T4 series; please verify your specific router sub-model to ensure structural compatibility.
What is the best way to clean the plate?
Use a soft cloth with a mild solvent to remove resin or adhesive buildup; avoid harsh metal scrapers that may gouge the surface.
Troubleshooting
Router feels unstable or wobbly during use
Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and the plate is perfectly flush with the router housing.
Surface of the wood shows scuff marks
Inspect the base plate for debris or chips embedded in the surface and clean it thoroughly.
Difficulty sliding the router
Ensure the work surface is clean and consider applying a thin layer of dry lubricant or wax to the bottom of the base plate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To replace the base plate, ensure the router is disconnected from the power supply. Remove the existing screws securing the old plate to the router base, align the new WP-T4/061 plate, and re-secure it firmly. The WP-T4/061 is specifically compatible with the Trend T4E 1/4 inch plunge router. To maintain the plate, keep it free from wood resin and debris build-up by wiping it with a clean cloth after each use. Avoid dragging the plate over abrasive surfaces or nails, as these will cause premature scratching and degradation.
