New Pinnacle router attachment

[stwoodie]

Have you all spied this new goodie yet?




I purchased a couple of them from Woodcraft. #148871

I installed them this morning.

More later....

'Zat just the bit guard, or did you get the lift, too?

[stwoodie]

The guards only Harry.
Got them for dust control, and they eliminate the need for the standard starter pin.

[Boxman]

Am I over estimating how hard that would be to build?

[stwoodie]

Simple build.

But chasing down the knobs with long shafts, dust hose hookup, plastic cover, then your hour or so to build it, seems 30 bucks is fairly cheap.




First one layed out and mounted.




Both units mounted.




To be continued.

[stwoodie]

Heres the tools I used to mount these with.

1/4" USS tap
#7 drill bit
Center punch






All hooked up.
Later on I will get some 2-1/2" tubing and make a cleaner looking hookup.
Some older clear hose is all I have right now.
I'll also need to get two 2-1/2" blast gates. Hoses are hooked up to one 4" gate. That's all I have to do the hookup with.




Made a trial run and it really does a great job on dust and chip collection. I had no chips on the table anywhere.

The first leg there on the right acts as a starting pin.
