A simple way to flatten warped, twisted, bowed, or uneven lumber with a hand-held router. Designed specifically to be able to handle large area planing operations, the Router Gantry System allows you to take a standard 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 HP router (not included) with a 1 to 2-inch diameter router bit (not included) and be able to easily flatten large slabs, tabletop glue-ups, epoxy resin counter or tabletops, or other large projects that don't fit into the standard planer. The wood base and legs are not included. Instructions for the base come as part of each package.

With the addition of the Threaded Cross Feed to the base system, you now have the ability to easily index your router across the 'bridge' of the gantry system, which allows you the unique ability to pin the router in place and cut with the grain of the project rather than going cross-grain. Doing it in this manner drastically reduces the number of passes required to complete a project and results in a much more consistent surface, requiring less finish sanding. This has the added benefit of also allowing easy edge jointing, rabbets, dado grooves, and other linear routing operations requiring the router to be moved a specific amount consistently - 10 turns of the hand crank equals 1 inch of movement.

Extension kits include four (4) connectors with set screws installed and one (1) L-shaped hex wrench. Suggested width of the units not to exceed 72" capacity (48" W + 27-1/2" Extension Kit). 

The system allows you to expand and upgrade from manual to threaded as desired by ordering the Lead screw kits. Lead screw kits includes the Acme threaded rod, installed Delrin Acme Nuts (x2), and installed 1606-2RS ball bearings
