***You have to bore your own holes to attach it to the table. The adaptor plate was the wrong size for my router, called BenchDog and they sent the "correct one" immediatly.
Preparing to build drawers after I finish this. Sure enough, none of the holes lined up.
He warned me that they were having problems fitting my router to the plate [Bousch 1619 EVS]. Everything else looks good.
Received item promply and in good condition. *** Invest in a cobalt drill bit.
I had to mark and bore the plate myself and countersink.
Great for the price and what it is and does. Simple Review:I have owned it 6 months. Don't expect miracles but is saves shop space and is a quality item.
I called Amazon first and they were very concerned and appologized for the problem even though it was likely packaged as damaged, and was certainly not Amazon's problem. Bench Dog does a great job. Thank you Amazon.Bench Dog is a very quality oriented company. This is a very nice combination. The Bench Dog parts are extremely well made.
I spaced it to the left of a new Delta cast iron saw table extension. The support is critical, so add what is necessary for all of this cast iron on the left of the saw.The Bench Dog fence came damaged but was replaced by Bench Dog after a call to the factory. They gave me the Bench Dog number, and the rest is history. The only part not made in the US is the cast iron table, but it is also very finely made and machined. I added the Bench Dog ProMax cast iron router table extension to my 30-year old Rockwell Unisaw.
It is supported by my old Biesmeyer 8-foot long guide rails. Still ok after the purchase by Rockler, hope they stay that way Rockler.
1. The aluminum fence is very easy to use and accurate.I highly recommend it for any serious woodworker with a small shop. 2. I called ProMax to check if any other support was required. I now use the router table twice as much as before.3.
The installation was very easy, 3 bolts on the side of the table. One of the best tools I own. It saves the space required for a separate router table. It's built like a brick outhouse. I bought this when I replaced my 35 year old table saw with a Jet JPS10 Hybrid (both from Amazon).
They assured me that the 3 bolt installation was all that was required.I've been using it for about 6 months. It's incredibly handy, right next to the table saw.
Does anyone know if this compatible with a left tilt saw. This is obviously not a review, rather a question. I have emailed Bench Dog for the last 6 months but no response.
