Cast Router Table
This premium performance Rutlands® router table features the R5008 router table stand, R5243 cast router table top, R5137 phenolic router table fence, R5010 insert plate and two R5015 double feather boards.
Router Table Stand
The legs and braces on this router table stand are made from 38mm wide x 2mm thick box-section steel for guaranteed strength and rigidity. The stand has been specifically designed to ensure that the legs and braces fit perfectly square to each other, via a series of pre-welded locking nuts and stainless-steel fixings. The feet have a large 45mm diameter footprint for optimum stability and have fine height adjustment when levelling on uneven workshop floors. Each foot is fitted with a heavy-duty rubber pad to offer excellent vibration dampening.
Cast Router Table Top
This substantial cast iron router table top has been designed to provide the most stable, exacting routing experience possible. Its solid, single piece design provides the mass to absorb and eliminate vibration whilst routing, ensuring the cleanest possible cuts and superior finish quality. The 800mm wide by 600mm deep table ensures excellent support when routing large and long workpieces. Constructed from a solid piece of cast iron, each table top is left to settle and stabilise before undergoing a precision surface grinding process for flatness. Once machined, the top receives a final polish, leaving the smoothest possible friction-free work surface to pass material across. The underside of the table top has been carefully engineered with a network of ribbing and support points, designed to maximise strength and stress resistance. Machined into the surface is a double T track, including a standard 19mm track for use with mitre gauges and feather boards, and a 6.3mm T slot for use with stops and home-made jigs.
Phenolic Router Table Fence
This router table fence is precision CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium with a black anodized finish and features two solid phenolic sub-fences. Made from a 19mm premium-grade, low friction, solid phenolic the sub-fences are extremely strong, hard wearing, scratch resistant and waterproof, eliminating the risk of warping or distortion when working in cold or damp workshops. Phenolic is produced under extreme high pressure and heat, resulting in fences that are exceptionally accurate, flat and level. The fences can be adjusted, tool free, to accommodate any router bit from 10mm to 115mm in diameter and the outfeed sub-fence can be off-set to allow for edge planning. The two fence support brackets are mounted to each side of router table top, allowing the fence to be moved back and forth. An adjustable metric scale on the fence brackets allows you to precisely align, zero and set the position of the fence to the router bit.
Router Table Insert Plate
This router table insert plate is made from 10mm anodized aluminium and is extremely strong, perfectly flat and features an abrasion resistant finish. The plate is compatible with all plunge routers with a maximum base diameter of 200mm. An 90mm aperture accommodates large router bits, whilst the two polycarbonate click-fit insert rings of 50mm and 35mm are used with smaller diameter bits. To mount a router, you use the router’s sub-base as a template to drill the plate, having positioned the set-up ring and centering pin to ensure your router is centrally mounted. A series of fine-thread adjustment screws allow you to level the plate perfectly flush with the table. The insert plate is supplied with a top mounted guide pin, featuring a free-spinning plastic barrel to enables free hand and pattern shape routing.
Double Feather Board
These feather boards are an essential tool and provide even, consistent pressure on your workpiece up against the fence. They allow you to apply pressure closer to the router bit, at the most critical point, without risking injury to your fingers. ©
