TOCKLER PRO PRO
The fence quickly and accurately adjusts but the secret sauce is the Pro Lift, man is this thing sweet. I needed to mill up a bunch of window sill stock and felt that this would be a great way to break in the new router table. Using the Rockler ProMax Cast Iron Router Table There are pre-drilled holes in the vertical legs on the front of the stand for mounting Rockler’s 15 Amp On/Off switch with a “Stop Paddle” to quickly shut off the power. Note – the lower cross-sections of the leg stand are a perfect height to mount a shelf or build in a small router bit storage box. The ProMax cast-iron tabletop was then installed onto the leg assembly with 4 screws. Once assembled we were able to quickly and easily level the stand using a ¾” wrench. The steel router table leg assembly consists of 16 pieces and results in a sturdy leg assembly with adjustable leveler feet. Of all the components on this router table, the Pro Lift is the best and our favorite feature! Rockler Steel Router Table Assembly It fits openings on Rockler and Bench Dog router tables.

The precision-milled aluminum plate measures 8-¼’’ x 11-¾” x ⅜”. A column locking knob provides further insurance when running large milling jobs. A simple quarter turn was all that was needed to make this adjustment. There is an Anti-backlash mechanism to keep the router from creeping downward which I had to adjust after about 6 months of regular use. It moves the router lift’s brass bushings up or down fast for bit changes or large adjustments and the fine-adjustment dial is used to get precise final heights to within 0.001”. The Quick-gear has a 4-to-1 gearbox ratio. The Pro Lift has two motor raising options ”Quick-Gear” and “Fine-Adjustment’ Dial. The insert ring has a 1-1/2” opening additional inserts and zero clearance inserts are sold separately. It has a Quick-Gear rapid height adjustment and tool-free Snap-Lock insert ring that releases with the push of a button. It accepts router motors with a 4.2” diameter. The Rockler Pro Lift was made for this tabletop. The placement of both allowed us to achieve safer milling. We mounted feather boards to both the cast table and ProFence T-tracks with ease. The ProFence also features EZ-Load Universal T-tracks that accepts 1/4” and 5/16” T-bolts as well as 1/4” hex bolts for feather boards and other accessories. The front of the fence has an adjustable bit guard and the rear has a 2-1/2” dust port. Two MDF sub-fences slide in a T-track and provide for zero-clearance setup. The machining is beautiful and dead flat. The ProFence is a one-piece aluminum fence that is fully machined and rigid.

Under the table is a 10-point plate leveling system with pre-tapped holes that allow you to install the router plate flush and lock it down. In fact, one of my first impressions was that this is a “life-time” router table set-up! The table measures 32” x 24” and trust me when I say, this tabletop will never sag. It weighs around 100 pounds to provide router bit vibration dampening.

A good router table provides a high degree of control, accuracy, and safety, especially with big bits. While the setup of a router table can be distilled into a few fundamental components, it is naive to think that all router tables are the same. On the job site we can often rig up make-shift router tables with plywood to perform basic routing tasks like cutting dados, grooves, and rabbets or profiles like round-overs and chamfers. After all, it’s nothing more than a flat work surface, an adjustable fence, and an opening in the tabletop through which a router bit protrudes. Many, if not all of these items can be purchased as separate items, or in scaled-down kits.Ī router table is one of those tools that seem too simple to be essential. The reason for the long title is because this is a premium shop setup that Rockler offers. We recently had the chance to test out The Rockler ProMax Cast Iron Router Table Top, Pro Lift, 32” ProFence, and Stand.
