The Fence is the most commonly purchased accessory for a router. This fence is extremely compact and lightweight. Both men and women appreciate this feature. It attaches to the Base Plate in about 30 seconds or less. It's great for making straight and parallel cut like rabbets, dadoes and flutes with remarkable efficiency and accuracy. It can be used in tight places where other fences will not work.

Large Circle Jig
NEW - Large Circle Jig. Cut up to 60" circles

This accessory is more than a circle jig. It can be used in several configurations making it very versatile. It has a circle range from 8 to 60-inches. It can accept extensions making its large circle range as big as you want to add. It can be raised so that a center pivot can be attached to your work with double sided tape so that you don't have to drill a pivot hole in the work piece when it isn't appropriate. It also adapts to work in conjunction with the axis plate to form the elliptical jig. It also has the fast change feature of taking only 30 seconds or less to install and the ability to adjust within thousands of an inch

A few comment about tools and routers

Routers are considered to be the most versatile tool in the workshop today. Is this true in your shop? Are you using your router as often as you should? If not, it may be because you do not have the accessories that make the router easy to set-up and use. I have found most woodworkers are in this category. In fact it's not unusual for people to own several routers so they don't have to change their set-up because it takes too long. The Router Buddy Base Plate System presented here is the solution to these problems. It is a system where each component is designed to work with each other. The result is it's the least expensive way to properly equip your router to get all the benefits that a hand held router has to offer. It is also the easiest and fastest to convert from one function to the other with most changes taking less than 30 seconds. With the added speed woodworkers are using their routers more often and doing more projects.                                                                                                                           

Our system fits the criteria as a Time Management & Life Simplification Tool.
