RS-500 Router Table
LIGHTED OAK CABINET
Cabinet sides are constructed of 3/4"solid wood core Oak veneer panels.
This material is not common plywood, it is solid wood laminated on both
sides with Oak veneer, very strong! Inside shelves are MDF. Joints are
made with either dado or rabbet for durability. Built in floor leveling system
compensates for uneven floors and keeps the unit stable. To make the unit
mobile simply replace the leveling bolts with threaded stem casters
available from us, at a very reasonable price, or at most home centers and
hardware stores. Total height to table surface is 35”.
2 drawers hold 26 - ½" bits, 2 drawers hold 36 - ¼" bits and 1 wrench drawer.
Lower storage drawer is mounted on K.V. roller slides and large enough to
hold several routers. The side 2 ½" quick-connect dust port draws dust
through the fence and out of the router compartment while ventilating the
router motor.
Router compartment light is great for changing router height and bits. Plus
being able to see the work as it contacts the bit under power. Once you use
a table with a light you will wonder how you ever managed without. On/Off
switches for the Router and Light are mounted in front for easy access. Both
recessed for safety. Two 120-volt receptacles in back. Equipped with 6'
Power cord.
STEEL REINFORCED TOP
The top construction starts with 22 x 30 x 3/4” MDF core Melamine. Unlike
the common wood top that could warp over time our tops have Two steel
reinforcement struts that run the full width of the top to insure its flat and
stays that way for years of service. The edges are thickened to 1-1/2” to
securely mount the steel reinforcement struts plus the extra heft for fixture
clamping all trimmed in Oak. Directly under the router opening there are two
more 3/4” wide steel support bars secured into the top of the cabinet to
support even the largest routers without worry. What you end up with is a
top that is 1-1/2” thick in all the stressed areas, 3/4” MDF and 3/4” Steel !
The 9-1/4”x 11-3/4”x 3/8" opening in top is sized to accept many of the most
popular router lifts. Clear 3/8”Acrylic router plate with 6 leveling screws is
included and ships blank for custom fitting to routers up to 3 1/4 hp from All
manufacturers. Aluminum 3/8"x 3/4" miter track runs the width of the top that
accepts standard miter gauges from most tablesaws. Plate is offset to the
backside of the table to allow more working surface up front where its
needed.
Steel reinforced router opening in top has been weight tested to 200
pounds. It will hold any router combination you choose to install.
FENCE
The fence is constructed of 9 ply cabinet grade 1/2” Baltic Birch using glue,
brads and screws with enough supports to insure it stays square. Fence is
mounted to the table with large Star Shaped comfort grip knobs. A few turns
of the large knobs and the fence lifts off, leaving a smooth unobstructed
table for pattern and freehand work.
At 4 1/4" tall the segmented fence is ideal for control and accuracy in vertical
routing operations. The top section has a "T" slot along its length, that
accept 5/16 T-bolts, for attachments such as feather boards, hold downs,
stop blocks & guards. T-bolts are not an expensive specialty item available
only through woodworking stores as most people believe, they are readily
available at any home center or lumberyard. They call them "Toilet Flange
Bolts" about .30 each. The lower section opens from 0" to 3 1/2" for the safe
use of larger bits. Fence adjusts Forward and Back 5". Dust is collected
through the fence from under the table surface.
