is a great upgrade to your router table rocklers award-winning pro lift is an upgrade to the upgrade with two patent-pending innovations that enable you to change bits faster than ever the patent-pending snap lock mechanism lets you pop out the durable aluminum insert ring with a push of a button providing quicker access to your routers collet you don't need any tools to remove the insert and there are no screws to keep track of when you are done changing the bit the insert ring snaps securely back in place and you're locked and ready under the table the pro lifts two-speed gearbox makes adjusting the bit height quicker without sacrificing precision the patent-pending quick gear dial enables you to raise and lower the bit four times faster than a typical router lift so it's great for coarser adjustments or to bring the bit up to be changed the fine adjustment dial can be zeroed out and with the smooth direct drive mechanism and incremental markings you can sneak up on the precise setting for perfect cuts and once you're there the pro lifts patented threaded bushing holds the setting without the need for a separate locking dial so you can get right to work the pro lift has a 3/8 inch thick machined aluminum plate and it's available in two sizes to fit Rockler as well as other common router table openings the aluminum housing is sized to fit four point two inch diameter router bodies like those of Porter cables three and a quarter horsepower routers but adapter collars are available separately to fit most other common routers if you're looking for our router lift that's built to hold up under daily use check out the award-winning Rockler pro lift mobile solutions perfect circle is a specialized tool that attaches to your router in order to cut precision inside and outside diameter circles the perfect circle tool is machined from half-inch aircraft-grade 6061 billet aluminum in order to be robust yet light and handle fabrication tasks for years to come in order to use the perfect circle we start with removing the base plate from our router the perfect circle is designed to match up with the popular Porter cable router bolt pattern but you can also modify it by drilling your own mounting holes for your particular router next we drill an eighth inch hole into the center of our workpiece in this particular example we'll be making a subwoofer cutout hole this eighth inch hole gives us a spot to position our eighth inch center pin on the perfect circle next we loosen the perfect circle adjustment knob and then adjust our router to position I've drawn the lines on the workpiece that tell me the diameter of the hole that I'm trying to make once adjusted we tighten the adjustment knob next we turn on the router and we can plunge it into the workpiece as we rotate the router around the center point the router cuts a perfect circle their great feature of this tool is how much of a range of circles they can cut circles as small as one inch diameter are possible for even larger circles we can flip around the centering pin slide this allows us to cut circles that have a diameter as large as 30 inches clear cut stop guys unlike typical feather boards for where you require one set to hold the stock down and another set to hold it against the fence these stock guides control your stock in both directions with one tool they just very quickly requiring only one knob to be loosened to adjust each guide they have two and three quarters of an inch of total travel and they can accommodate stock to 9/16 of an inch below the mounting T slot to adjust your clear cut stock guides slide the stock into position applying the pressure that you desire against the stock and then lock the knobs you're ready to go for long term routing the clamping knobs can be tightened with a quarter-inch allen key clear-cut stock guides are designed to be used on router tables and shaper tables now we're gonna raise our router bit for the desired cut and then lock it in position for woodworkers you don't have a t slot on their fence there's an accessory mounting plate available for shop made router table fences notice how the urethane guide rollers pull the stock into the fence keep it securely in this position your stock is continuously pulled towards the fence the rollers are mounted to one-way bearings prevent any kickback the Chi rollers on the clear-cut stock guides are set at a 5 degree angle this pulls the stock towards the fence as it also holds it now machining gangrene on the short side of a board it can be difficult even at the best of times and usually you can't get a set of feather boards there to help hold it in position you can machine an grain with confidence with clear-cut stock guides because they hold the stock to the fence at the fence as the stock is held securely in all directions you could achieve smoother or precise cuts with clear-cut stock guides holding a long board to the fence while you're starting your cut can be extremely difficult clear-cut stock guides are like an extra set of hands pulling the stock towards the fence as you concentrate on feeding it forward you
