Router not included
Overview
The RS800 is the result of over two years of development to create a versatile and safe Routing System.
By not following any of the recognised methods, a workstation that is capable of carrying out most router actions in a fast, convenient and extremely safe manner has been developed.
Eliminating the system of passing a work piece across a cutter, the RS800 employs a system whereby the work piece is firmly clamped to a multi-positional framework and the router is allowed to pass overhead. This makes the workstation an ideal machine for the teaching environment where Health and Safety considerations are imperative.
The RS800 can machine in practically any direction or angle. This is made possible by the construction material used, which is industrial-quality aluminium extrusion with standardised tracking. The workstation is capable of standing up to the rigors of a busy professional workshop and gives maximum flexibility with nearly every part of the machine being adjustable by a single hex key.
The strength of the frame also allows for a machine vice to be bolted on. With a suitable cutter fitted into the router, aluminium or plastics can be secured in the vice and routed safely. Even the smallest work pieces can be secured and machined accurately.
A key feature of the RS800 is the marking system. This is to give the user the accuracy usually expected by engineers in a woodworking environment. This is achieved by fitting marking pointers to the front and side of the router cradle allowing accurate measurements to be transferred to the work piece.
