Product Description
Expand your table saw's versatility by adding this industrial grade router table in place of the extension wing. Perfect for shops where space is tight, ProMAX includes a cast-iron top, Bench Dog's 28" ProFence, a miter gauge track that adjusts for a no-slop fit, and a solid aluminum insert plate that is pre-drilled to fit your specific router. If workspace is an issue, the ProMAX has you covered. Its dual fence slot configuration lets you rotate the fence and work from either side of the table to maximize surface area. Plus, with a third miter slot at its disposal, your table saw becomes perfectly equipped to handle crosscut sleds.

 well built January 3, 2010

I purchased this extension to go with an delta contractor saw. I had expected to add it the already installed extension. Instructions say to remove the extension. I suppose it has to do with the weight on one end. Lots weight on 2 bolts. Well this makes the extension I have useless. I did add it to the right side, but I have a side table there and didnt need the extension.
The extension is well machined and fit easily. I used horses to support it for installation, no big deal. Depending on your router you may need separate plates. I have a milwaukee 5625 and porter cable 690. I bought a second plate for the 690. Plates are 50. On the positive they are heavy machined steel. Good leveling screws. I also bought the bench dog power lok. That is a piece of junk. I think I will use the power lock for the table saw and dump the bench dog lock.
Fence is nice, lots of places for feather boards. Well machined. I gave it 4 stars since I had to remove the extentsion.
great addition to saw December 21, 2009

Love this. I have had my PC Router for many yrs waiting for the right setup. Now I've found it. I have limited space, so this works perfectly for me, plus gives me more table saw surface.

I purchased this router table top for my Delta R/T unisaw almost a year ago along with the Bench dog pro lift, and a P/C 7518 3HP router. This set up is sweeeet!! Very accurate and well built, the extention adds approx. 6 inches to the width and bolted up with no problems. With the router always ready to go I look forward to using the saw/router combo on any of my projects.
Very Pleased, Typical Bench Dog Quality November 23, 2009

Previously, I had the Bench Dog router table/cabinet and was looking to create more shop space by using this on my Jet Supersaw instead of a dedicated router table. It fits the bill perfectly. I am using this with a Porter Cable router, fits the base of my router perfectly and is predrilled for my adjustment wrench. The router fence is movable and comes with a dust collection port. The mitre slots fit my guides perfectly. I would recommend adding a second base to your router and mounting it permanently, this allows you to slide the router in whenver you want to use it without the hassle of remounting the base to the plate.
Pros
- Router plate can be leveled perfectly with about 10 adjustment points.
- Adjustable width fence, locks in place, good dust collection.
- Super heavy...when added to my saw, there is very little vibration which makes for precise routing work. (Of course, the saw itself is heavy, but the router table makes it moreso.
- Typical Bench Dog quality - I have always been pleased with their products.
Cons
- Super heavy...difficult to mount by yourself but I was able to make it happen using clamps. If you don't have a jack stand, you will need a second set of hands.
- Does not come with a router mounting plate (add $55 or so). I had planned on transferring my old Bench Dog mounting plate but it would not fit by about 1/16th of an inch. Make sure you order when you order the top.
Great addition to table saw October 8, 2009

I have used this for 2 years now and could not be happier. A nice feature over a regular router table is it will allow me to do miter joints in large cabinets and kitchen cabinets using my table saw fence.
