Bench Router Table - R20 Electronic Lift and Motor

This premium performance Rutlands® router table features the R5016 bench router table, R5063 electronic router lift and R5018 router lift motor.

Bench Top Router Table
This bench top router table is compact in size without compromising on performance, making it ideal for use in a professional workshop with limited space. The legs and braces on this router table stand are made from 35mm tubular steel for guaranteed strength and rigidity.

The 600mm by 400mm table top ensures excellent workpiece support and is laminated on both faces with a low friction, premium-grade phenolic, which is highly wear resistant. The 2mm phenolic laminate is sandwiched around a 27mm solid moisture-resistant composite core which prevents the absorption of atmospheric moisture, eliminating the risk of warping or distortion of the table surface when working in cold or damp workshops. Set into the top is a 19mm extruded aluminium T track for use with mitre gauges, feather boards, stops and home made jigs.

The router table fence is precision CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium with a black anodized finish. On the top face of the fence is a metric scale and a 8.3mm T Track for use with Rutlands® flip stops and on the front face there is another 8.3mm T Track for mounting Rutlands® feather boards and the height adjustable router bit guard. The two sub-fences are made from a solid composite with a low friction, phenolic laminate surface to ensure smooth movement of the workpiece. The fences can be adjusted, tool free, to accommodate any router bit from 10mm to 125mm in diameter and the outfeed sub-fence can be off-set to allow for edge planning. With 125mm of travel, the position of the fence is adjusted quickly and easily with no tools required, simply by turning the two tall, easily accessible knobs.

Electronic Router Lift - R20
This electronic router lift significantly reduces set up time and ensures pin point accuracy when table routing. The rise and fall is operated by the digital control box which features an LED display. You simply press the start button on the control box and then select either metric or imperial graduations. Metric settings are displayed in 0.1mm increments and imperial settings in 0.001" increments. There are two operating modes, the first method is by pressing and holding the up or down button on the key pad until you reach your desired height. The second method is to raise or lower the lift by a specific increment by entering into the keypad the amount of height adjustment required. You can re-set to zero at any height. The lift will automatically lock in position after setting the cutting height, eliminating the risk of unwanted travel during routing. The carriage and threaded arms of the lift are CNC machined and feature sealed-for-life bearings to allow for smooth movement of the router motor. The motor clamping bracket accepts the Rutlands® variable speed router motor. The 10mm anodized aluminium plate has a 100mm opening to accept insert rings and can be levelled flush to a table top via a series of adjustment screws.

Router Lift Motor
This powerful, 2400W variable speed motor premium performance motor is designed and engineered specifically for use with router lifts and uses the latest electronic technology. It features a torque control system that prevents the motor from slowing under load, ensuring that the rotational speed remains constant, no matter what diameter of router bit you are using or how hard the wood, resulting in a superior workpiece finish. A variable speed control dial, conveniently positioned on the bottom of the motor for easy-reach, allows you to select speeds from 10,000 to 22,000 rpm. With soft start technology, the router motor gradually increases the speed from zero to the desired level for a safer, more enjoyable routing experience. An air cool system ensures a constant flow of fresh air to prevent the risk of the motor overheating, when installed in the Rutlands® dust box or in a close-sided router table. The dust protection system prevents dust from causing damage to the motor to ensure a long trouble-free life and the precision machined spindle bearings are guaranteed for ultra smooth, vibration free rotation. The two ER collets 1/4" and 1/2" are precision machined to ensure perfect balance and concentricity and the large off-set wrenches allow for fast bit change over. Optional 6mm, 8mm and 12mm metric collets are readily available.
