StabilMax™RT Router Table (w/ StabilMax™RT Trim Router Base)
Woodpeckers new StabilMaxRT Router Table System lets you instantly switch from router table to extended-base hand-held routing…and back…without tools, knobs or clips of any kind. The router base snaps in and out of the router table effortlessly, as fast as you can grab it. That one feature sets StabilMaxRT head and shoulders above anything else out there, but that's just the beginning. No other bench top router table on the market can match StabilMaxRT for feature set, versatility or value. For instance, the folding legs are rock-solid in use and compact when you're on the go. The fence adjusts and locks easily and has micro-adjustment to dial in your critical settings. And, we use high-quality Baltic Birch plywood for the core of the table. StabilMaxRT works with most popular cordless and corded trim routers. You have the flexibility to get a full-featured, complete package or pick just the components you want and customize your router table to fit your workflow. Let's take a closer look at each of the three main components, the router base, the table and the fence.
Get the Most Out of your Trim Router!
The StabilMaxRT system starts with its versatile router base. We launched our StabilMax Trim Router Base in the summer of 2023. It expands the tiny footprint of today's powerful trim routers giving them a more stable footing when running the router along edges. One of our engineers started playing with the shape of the StabilMax and looking at how it might integrate into a router table. The result is the StabilMaxRT Router Base. While bigger than the StabilMax, it can do the same job when working hand-held. But when you need the precision of a router table, it flips over and locks into its router table instantly.
The router table itself has some nifty features, starting with the material it's made from. While most competitive tables are made from 3/4" (or thinner) particle board, the StabilMaxRT router table is 1" thick, 17-ply Baltic Birch plywood with black micro-dot laminate on both sides. The opening for the router base is precisely machined for a snug fit and an ingenious rubber bumper provides the perfect grip to hold the base firmly. We machine the fence track slots directly into the plywood, removing less material and retaining more strength than tables with embedded aluminum track.
The underside of the table has track clamp slots, allowing you to clamp the router table to the edge of your workbench, lowering the working height and leaving the top of your workbench clear for other duties. If this is the way you want to work all the time, you can buy your StabilMaxRT without legs, but even if you have the legs installed, you can still clamp the table to the edge of your bench when you need to.
With over 3 decades of experience building top-quality router tables, we approached the fence for the StabilMaxRT with the goal of maximizing features while also keeping it simple to operate and affordable. The locking knobs are large and easy to grip. The fence faces adjust laterally to set the opening for the bit. They're made from MDF with a low-friction surface lamination, so it's no problem to feed them into the bit for a perfect zero-clearance fit. The fence has a built-in dust port that works with either 2-1/2" dust collection hose or 2-1/4" shop vacuum hose. Our favorite feature on the fence is on the back side. Release the large knob near the middle of the fence and dial in the precise setting of your fence with the zero-backlash micro-adjuster. That's a feature you won't find on any other bench top router table.
We built flexibility into the StabilMaxRT System. The Complete StabilMaxRT Router Table Package includes everything…leg set, router base, table top, fence, micro-adjuster, starter pin and wall-mountable Rack-It. Want to keep it simpler? Each component is available individually. Have a couple routers you want to set up? Extra bases are available separately, as are replacement fence faces.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the StabilMaxRT Router Table System is precisely built and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, facility (just south of Cleveland).
