Popular Woodworking's 2006 Best New Tool by Robert Lang
"I had so much fun testing this tool that I found myself looking for any good excuse to use it."
"Swiss-watch precision and smooth operation are combined in a package that is easier to compare to fine German sports cars than to other woodworking tools."

"It didn't take me long to be convinced that here was a system that extends the potential of the router into realms of accuracy and control that the machine rightfully demands. It will make your use of the router so much easier and more enjoyable and will extend options for the development of your skills and expertise."
American Woodworker November 2005 - (Plunge Base Review)
"...for woodworkers who want to dial in depth-of-cut settings to .001 in, this base will do it with ease. And it's a tool that's simply a pleasure to hold".

"One of the first places the Micro Fence proves its worth is in the relatively simple operation of cutting rabbets and dadoes..."
"When router work needs to be incredibly precise, such as routing grooves for inlay work...the Micro Fence's super-fine adjustment offers pinpoint accuracy."

"No re-invention of the wheel, just a masterly revision of the router side fence. Suddenly, working from an edge makes sense. Where I would normally make up a template or jig, using this fence gives an entirely controllable, repeatable result. The virtue of this device lies in its impeccable engineering, lending a precision which makes it more of a jig than a fence. It is one of the most sensible 'gadgets' I have come across for a long time, offering real benefits in increased quality and productivity for router-users - and that's most of us."

"Just wanted to say “thank you’,
I have seen your web-site for more than a few years, and debated as to whether the micro fence was all that it was cracked up to be. After seeing a demonstration at the Baltimore wood show I decided to give it a try.
Wish I could find the words to say THANK YOU! It is everything and more than what you described in your seminar. It is truly easy to use, and even I, a fairly new hobby woodworker, am able to get great results. Within 10-15 minutes of using it, I was able to UNDERSTAND how to do router inlays which I have now done a few in the last 2 weeks.
Have also been able to do bow tie pattern inlays with precision that would rival the pro’s…….
Your products, their ease of use, and especially your after market customer support have been more than I ever expected.
Since receiving and using the edge guide, I tried doing some pattern inlays and realize the other products I have been using fall short of giving precision depth guide precision when making inlay cuts. I will soon be ordering your plunge base to take care of this.
Many thanks for your help expertise and customer care after the sale. I wish there were more companies like yours." |
