Router Boss converts a router into a precise milling machine for wood. It can do mortises, tenons, grooves, dadoes, through
and blind dovetails, box joints, raised panels, sliding dovetails
and a whole lot more. It provides an unprecedented level of precision and versatility in working wood.
COMPLETE CREATIVE CONTROL
The magic of Router Boss is in the creative way that
it lets you work. It offers you machine control without limiting
your capabilities. There are no confining templates, guide bushings
or metal fingers. If you can conceive it, Router Boss can help you
do it easier, faster and with greater control.
EVERY DIMENSION IS MANAGED
Router Boss securely supports both the router and the wood. It allows you
to manage a cut in any dimension (on the edge, face or end of a piece) cleanly and without risk of
the wood being snatched out of your hand.
With a router table the router is upside down and the wood is hand fed through the cutter. With Router Boss the router is right way up and either the router is precisely guided through the cut or the wood, held on a sliding bar, is machine fed through the cutter. Scales and cursors on the machine face provide an accurate means for you to position cuts.
The sliding bar is connected by a wire and pulley system to a crank that can 'power feed' the wood
either left or right through the cutter. This allows break-out free climb cuts. The wire and pulley system has no backlash - you let go of the crank and the wood stays put. Alternatively, you can position guide rails on either side of the router plate to guide the router across wood either perpendicular or at any angle in a 60 degree swing from minus 30 degrees to plus 30 degrees, starting and stopping
the cut at any point.
With the router upright and accessible you can easily adjust the depth of cut using
all the depthing features of your plunge router. With the optional
Router Boss Plunge Assist Bar you have a quick and accurate depth control system.
UNEQUALED VERSATILITY
No other router appliance on the market offers you the flexibility, simple
elegance and creative control of a Router Boss. Most others perform one type
of joinery and place limits on the bits you can use and cuts you
can make. With Router Boss you can cut almost every joint in the
book. You select the bit and you control the cut. You do not have
to purchase expensive templates or doodads for the machine to work.
Unlike most jigs and router tables, with Router Boss you can see
the cut while it is being made. An acrylic router plate and a wide slot in the Router Boss base plate results in excellent visibility.
You can cut to a line scribed on
the wood, cut to a pattern drawn on the machine, use built-in scales and cursors or optional electronic digital scales to position cuts, set stops for repeatability,
or use the built-in laser guide to position cuts. You
are in control.
MORE CHOICE
Router Boss offers more options, capacity, joint variations, and precision control than any other routing accessory or joinery machine on the market.
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY
Router Boss fully integrates newer technologies. Included LEDs illuminate the work and a dual laser crosshair precisely indicates where a cut will be made. Optional digital scales with LCD displays provide repeatable precision positioning and operate to the full extent of machine capacity.
Whether you are a woodworking hobbyist or depend upon woodworking for a living, the Router Boss will not disappoint.
