If you're looking for the highest quality router plate money can buy, you found it.
The Woodpecker Cast Aluminium Router Plate is stronger, stiffer and less prone to warp or flex then other aluminium, polycarbonate or acrylic router plates. In addition, its durable, low friction anodized coating makes it easier and smoother for wood to glide across. Although this fixture grade material is more expensive, it's numerous advantages make it well worth the few extra dollars for what typically is a one time purchase.
Along with superior materials, each Woodpecker Router Plate features eight top accessible fine pitch levelling screws and two adjustable spring loaded plungers to make it easy to achieve a flush, perfect fit in your router table opening.
With each Cast Aluminium Router Plate, you also receive (3) machined aluminium TwistLOCK Rings, a metal starting pin, spanner wrench and router mounting screws. The ring opening sizes are 1", 1-3/16" and 2-5/8". The router plate itself has a 3-9/16" (90.5mm) opening to fit any commonly available router bit.
Dimensions: 9-1/4 x 11-3/4 x 3/8 thick. (235mm x 299 x 10mm) All our Router Plates share the same 'footprint', that is a router table set up for a Aluminium Plate can be simply upgraded to any other plate or lift in our range.
If you're doing free hand routing, you know how tricky it can be to start the cut. Router bits tend to spin the board and gouge the wrong edge when you start the cut. This often results in damage to your carefully shaped furniture parts. Starting Pins can help you gain control but don't offer dust collection or protection from flying chips. The new Woodpecker Free-Hand Guard does all these things in a well built, high quality form.
The Free-Hand Guard serves three purposes; first it provides a fulcrum to rest your board against, second a dust port for a hose hook up and third a shield to keep chips from flying up into your face. (The shield is not a substitute for safety goggles.)
Our new Free-Hand Guard attaches directly to any Woodpecker Router Plate or Lift. Two knobs make it simple and fast to install or remove. It's also adaptable to other brand plates by simply drilling two holes and using the included alternate attachment screws. (Instructions included.)
The Free-Hand Guard is made up of a laminated birch base, a Phenolic top plate, an acrylic shield with a combination 2-1/2” – 2-1/4” dust port.
Accommodates materials up to 1-1/2” (38mm) in thickness.
For those needing a greater variety of TwistLOCK Rings for your Woodpecker Router Plate or Router Lift, here they are. This set includes seven different TwistLOCK style rings with varying holes sizes and one blank ring with no hole. They’re compatible with any current model Woodpecker Router Plate or Router Lift including:
Set includes one each, solid, 3/4, 7/8, 1-3/8, 1-5/8, 1-7/8, 2-1/8 and 2-3/8.
These new rings are moulded from a polycarbonate reinforced ABS. This tough plastic won't chip your router bits or ding and dent from unexpected drops to the floor. They are molded to tight tolerances assuring a smooth transition to the surrounding plate material. (Only available as a set.)
The hefty construction of the 6.35mm (1/4") solid alloy body and the 19mm (3/4") thick integrated alloy handle just feels right in the palm of your hand. And unlike conventional two–piece designs, the layout angle of our rigid, one–piece body won’t get “bent out of shape” when you drop it!
Our trademark gold and red hardened anodized surface is not only durable, but beautiful, and it won’t tarnish like brass. Combine this with our modern, functional styling and you’ve got a tool that is worthy of the most prominent location in your display cabinet (when you’re not using it, of course).
Note the way the handle sits on the edge of the work piece for easy accurate use.
