What is claimed is: 1. A removable base for a router comprising: a base sleeve including a generally cylindrical aperture configured to receive a motor housing that contains a motor configured to drive a working tool, and a clamp configured to removably clamp the base about the motor housing; a support member connected to the base sleeve for supporting the motor housing on a surface; and a generally L-shaped handle, having a connecting member coupled to the base and a grasping member, said handle for manipulating the router on the surface, wherein the handle defines a channel therethrough with a terminal portion adapted to be attached to a vacuum source that is external to the router. 2. The base of claim 1, wherein the generally L-shaped handle is connected to the base sleeve adjacent the interface of the base sleeve and the support member. 3. The base of claim 1, further comprising a universal grip coupled to the grasping member, said universal grip being configured to be grasped by various sized human hands. 4. The base of claim 1, further comprising a grip coupled to the generally L-shaped handle, said grip being coupled to the L-shaped handle by at least one of: coating the grip on at least a portion of the generally L-shaped handle, frictionally securing the grip to the generally L-shaped handle, and securing the grip via a fastener to the generally L-shaped handle. 5. The base of claim 1, wherein the grasping member is substantially parallel to an axis of the generally cylindrical base sleeve. 6. The base of claim 1, wherein the generally L-shaped handle is removable. 7. The base of claim 1, wherein the grasping member is adjustably positionable. 8. The base of claim 1, wherein the base defines a seam and the clamp is configured to clamp the base across the seam. 9. A removable base for a router comprising: a base sleeve including a generally cylindrical aperture configured to receive a motor housing that contains a motor configured to drive a working tool, and a clamp configured to removably clamp the base about the motor housing; a support member connected to the base sleeve for supporting the motor housing on a surface; a generally L-shaped handle, having a connecting member coupled to the base sleeve and a grasping member, said handle for manipulating the power tool on a workpiece; and a grip coupled to the gasping member and having a plurality of protrusions directed inwardly toward the base sleeve. 10. The base of claim 9 wherein the grip is coupled to the grasping member [L-shaped handle] by at least one of: coating the grip on at least a portion of the grasping member [generally L-shaped handle], frictionally securing the grip to the grasping member [generally L-shaped handle], and [or] securing the grip via a fastener to the grasping member [generally L-shaped handle]. 11. The base of claim 9, wherein the generally L-shaped handle is removable. 12. The base of claim 9, wherein the grasping member includes a terminal zone for coupling a vacuum hose thereto. 13. The base of claim 9, wherein the generally L-shaped handle defines a channel formed therethrough. 14. The base of claim 9, wherein the grasping member is adjustably positionable. 15. The base of claim 9, wherein the grasping member is angled between approximately 0° (zero degrees) and approximately 20° (twenty degrees) from an axis approximately normal to the connecting member. 16. The base of claim 9, wherein the base sleeve defines a seam and the member is configured to clamp the base across the seam.
