    Default TRB001 - extra base holes and plunge siezed

    I had the base plate off my TRB001 yesterday as I was trying to get the plunge to work.
    It seems to be seized.

    I noticed these additional holes in the base plate.
    They are tapped to m4 - 0.7 from the top down, but not all the way through.

    3 of the holes seem to be in a triangle pattern, but I have not been able to match them with any other router base plate holes.

    Any one have any idea of what they are for.

    Also need help to restore the plunge!!!!!!

    No idea what the M4 holes would be for except they may have been used for holding the base plate to machine it during the manufacturing process.
