This one is not in a plunge base, but is an ecentric pin, lever driven clamp housing for depth adjustments with a collar like the porter-cable 69x's use for depth adjustment. This base is removeable at which time a std clamp mount designed for the Porter-Cables and such could probably grab and hold it.

No clue from those pix, and Lowes quit handling Hitachi a year or so back, so I have not had the opportunity to put any fingerprints on one of those. I give them some good natured hell about that as the Hitachi line of such tools are IMO excellent tools for the money. I have 2 of their 14 volt driver/drills, nicad batteries which they want too much for, but after 10+ years of steady, at times abusive service, they are as good as new with a battery fresh off the charger. > Actually I have to consult with the client about the speed control.

You should not have to put yourself in a safety compromising position to reach it, hence the requirement for emc, or at least remote control. But, I'll have to admit that I don't always edit the code to add the spindle commands since the hand controls on my rig are on the front face of that black box mounted on the lexan shield between the machine and the keyboard. Very handy. Some would say too handy. ;-) But for doing 200 of something, it would be worthwhile.
