Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This dream package includes everything needed to take your routing to the next level! The router table features a cast iron top, a hardwood birch plywood cabinet & an award winning 28” Profence. Also included are 4 Cab-Loc casters for mobility & leveling, a Porter Cable 7518 router with fixed base, & two pair of Feather Loc for a total of 4 feather-boards! The ProMax Complete (40-087) stands alone as the only full-sized cast iron router table on the market. It includes our award winning 28” ProFence, ProMax Cast Iron Router Table (40-031), Cast Iron End Cap (40-044) & ProMax Professional Cabinet (40-074). ProMax’s forward offset design brings the miter track & router insert plate closer to the operator for improved control. Need more space for large panels? Rotate the ProFence 180 degrees using the ProMax’s NEW dual fence slot configuration. The combination miter gauge & accessory track accepts any standard miter gauge & the Feather Loc. Pullout router bit shelves, a 4” dust port & a wealth of storage puts everything into one professional system. Cab-Loc (40-008) provides mobility & leveling for your ProMAX Cabinet. The added benefit of Cab-Loc is the ability to raise your cabinet almost 2”. Great on shop-made cabinets, too! Max weight 150 lbs. per wheel. Works with panel thicknesses from 5/8 to 1-1/2”. Feather-Loc Pair (40-011) is essential for holding stock firmly against the fence & tabletop. Use one on the table saw to keep long stock against the rip fence. On router tables & shapers, use one before & after the cutter. Attach Feather-Locs to both the fence & tabletop when routing long, thin stock. Not only will Feather-Loc protect hands, it helps prevent kickback, binding & bent blades. Durable polymer retains its flex memory, ensuring a steady feed rate. Feather-Loc’s rounded feather tips will not mar work pieces. The exclusive built-in setup feather makes setting the tension fast, easy & repeatable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost a perfect system, May 28, 2008
This review is from: Bench Dog ProMax Complete Router Table System (Includes ProFence, ProMax Router Table 40-031, Cast Iron End Cap 40-044, ProMax Cabinet 40-074, Porter Cable 7518 Router, and 4 Cab-Loc Casters) (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a nice system with great features but there are a few things that I wish were better. Below are my impressions of the various items that came with the system after a week of use.

- Cast iron router table: is beautiful and flat, did not notice much vibration at all with the PC 7518 router. The end cap fit perfectly and extended the cast iron table 4 more inches. Who doesn't want more cast iron?

- Router plate: For the price they should have included the aluminum version and inserts. The phenolic version that came with the system is okay but only a 2" opening and without any inserts. I was planning to use my existing raise panel bit but it is 3.5" in diameter. Going to have to buy a different plate.

- Router: PC 7518, need I say more? Powerful and built like a tank, 3-1/4HP with 5 speed controls. Typically one would buy this powerful of a router to make things like raised panels, and typical horizontal panel bits are 2"+ inches in size... Yes, the router plate bothered me a little bit.

- Cab-Loc Casters: Nice and sturdy, great to aid in leveling the router table, but it's does not have a quick release mechanism like most mobile bases. You have to loosen the threaded rods until the casters are supporting the weight before you can move the base.

- ProMax Cabinet: Nice design and layout; Would be better if they use birch plywood throughout, not just for the sides. The insides and the backing is made from particleboard with melamine. I damaged one of the hole of the particleboard tightening the cross dowel too tight.

- ProFence: Serve its purpose well, allows me to do what I need to do. Aluminum fence, comes with a bit guard, dust collection attachment, and aluminum shimming rods for router jointing.

- Installation Manual: What manual? There are bad quality printouts for the various items. Some steps refers you to the black and white pictures that you can barely make out.

Overall I like the form, fit, and function of this system but for the price teir a few things could have been better.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well made router table, November 22, 2008

Although the fence, from my point of view, is not so perfect. However, overall, the router table is very good. The cast iron table let me make extension table and other accessories around it. The table surface is flat. Because of its sturdiness, using a 3 1/4 hp router, I can do a lot of routing jobs. It is a good companion for shaper.

This is a great setup...Top of the line...I got this because of the cast iron table top which adds excellent stability to the table...This thing weighs 200 pounds when assembled...The included 3-1/4hp PC Router is very nice also...

Instructions were zeroxed pages of paper, but acceptable...It does take a few hours to assemble and fine tune...

I give it 5 stars...
