ProMAX expands your table saw's versatility by adding an industrial grade router table in place of the extension wing. ProMAX is perfect for shops where space is tight and when increased table depth is a must. One added benefit is the additional miter slot added to the left of your saw blade, perfect for cross-cut sled use. The exclusive miter gauge accessory track adjusts to fit your miter gauge, and it also gives you a 1/4" t-slot for mounting accessories, like our Feather-Loc featherboards. Do you want to own the best stand alone router table on earth? If so, also purchase our 4" x 27" ProMAX Cast Iron End Cap (Stock No. 40-044) and mount the complete router table assembly to a cabinet base or leg set. If you want the ultimate tandem router table, bolt together two ProMAX tables, back-to-back. Then, mount to a cabinet base or stand. Perfect for professional woodshops, and commercial rail and stile production. Router table includes cast iron top, 28" ProFence, miter gauge track, and predrilled router insert plate. Fits all contractor-grade table saws and all right tilt cabinet-grade table saws that have 27" deep by 1-1/2" thick cast iron tables.
Note: Will not work as a left extension on "cabinet grade" saws with left side protruding motors (left tilt). Mount to the right side instead. Can be mounted on the far right side away from saw with t-square style fences. You must provide your own filler board and leg set.

A top quality fence is crucial. Buy the the best!

A top quality fence is the backbone of any router table system. What makes ProFence your best choice is its design, strength, and quality of construction. ProFence utilizes a heavy duty aluminum extrusion that is fully machined on the front and bottom surfaces. This ensures that your ProFence is flat, true, and square. As for the design, no other fence packs more features. Like the exclusive dual EZ-Load t-slots that accept our Feather-Loc featherboards, Panel-Loc panel hold-down, and Power-Loc auxiliary safety power switch. The MDF subfences adjust without tools, perfect for zero clearance setup. ProFence comes with built-in jointing capability, dual position bit guard, and a dust collection port. Heavy duty extruded and anodized aluminum. Precision machined flat, true, and square. Powerful cantilever clamps. Dual position bit guard for large and small bits.

With this resolution, who needs the expense and fuss of a digital read out? ProLift is the only lift on the market designed for severe, daily use.

Feather-Loc is essential for holding your stock firmly against your tool's guide fence and tabletop. Use one on the table saw to keep long stock against the rip fence. On router tables and shapers, use one before and after the cutter. Attach Feather-Locs to both the fence and the tabletop when routing long and thin stock on the router table. Not only will Feather-Loc protect your hands, it also helps prevent kickback, binding, and bent blades. Its durable polymer retains its flex memory, ensuring a steady feed rate. Feather-Loc's rounded feather tips will not mar your workpiece. The exclusive built-in setup feather makes setting the tension fast, easy, and repeatable. Next time you're machining tall, thin, or narrow stock, think Feather-Loc. Safer cuts. Better cuts. Every time. See below for which model suits your requirements.

Single, Tandem, or Double (pair) models for every application! Essential for holding the stock against the guide fence. Perfect for router tables, shapers, band saws, and table saws. Reduces kickback, binding, lifting, and bent blades. Fits ALL Bench Dog router tables and fences. Promotes smooth, chatter-free cuts, and safer operation. Fits most aftermarket router table fences with t-slots. Large t-knobs for easy adjustment and strong clamping pressure. Exclusive setup feather makes adjusting the tension fast, easy, and repeatable. Super tough polymer is specially formulated to hold its shape. Single and Tandem models come with our exclusive miter slot adapter, fits standard 3/8" x 3/4" slots. Over 5-1/4" of travel.

Safer and better results when cutting raised panels! Stock No. 40-025
