Thread: Router Insert

Nope, but if you buy it let us know what you think

Did you take a look at the router lift/insert from Major Woodworking Machinery at the show? Xacta I think? Looks the business, if a little steep ($295 I think).

My router table is a little worse for wear as well - nowhere near flat anymore. Can't complain, it was the second thing I built I'm seriously thinking of sinking an Xacta into the extension table on my saw to save some space. I'm thinking also I should be getting the Triton router to swing the larger panel bits etc. My Bosch blue is in need of new bearings anyway - and doesn't have a big enough base opening. There's $700 though - so it might have to wait

Errr..... Darryl, I don't think the Triton will go with the Xacta or any of the Yank router adjusters - they are generally intended to clamp onto the body of one of the 'fixed base' type routers, whereas the Triton had the adjuster built-in.

You might want to look at getting the complete Triton router table plate setup as a 'spare part' from Triton - they should be used to it by now as its a drop-in fit to their current table. Very similar to the Lee Valley router plate except the plate is steel with a 90 degree turned edge & it has lock-downs where the Lee plate has a hinge & lock-up to accomodate those 'fixed base' routers.
