Routers are powerful tools, but when used along the edge of stock, balancing becomes a challenge. Since most of the router’s weight hangs off the edge, there’s a constant risk of tipping, shifting, or uneven cuts. Enter the Router Anchor.This idea gives you more stability, control, and leverage while routing.
Designed to stabilize your router on edge work, this shifts the center of gravity onto the stock, preventing bumps and ensuring smooth, controlled passes.
If you’re using a trim router, instead of spending $25 or more on a store-bought baseplate, we’ll make a custom built pad that cost a fraction of the price while having the ability to fit any trim router setup. Whether you’re using a full-sized router or a lightweight trim router, these fixtures will eliminate the balancing act and give you more control with your cuts.
