Description

When you're working curved shapes on your router table, the fence is just going to be in the way. Instead of working with a fully exposed bit, add the Freehand Guard to work safer and cleaner.

The Freehand Guard provides two fulcrum points to start the cut, much like a starter pin. Then a crystal-clear acrylic guard keeps your fingers away from the bit without obstructing your view (not a substitute for safety glasses). Plus, there's a very efficient dust collection port that works with either 63mm/2-1/2" dust collection hose or 57mm/2-1/4" shop vac hose. While Woodpeckers had the Freehand Guard for several years, this injection-molded version accommodates thicker material (44mm/1-3/4") and has captured mounting knobs that stay connected to your Freehand Guard when you're not using it.

Woodpeckers Freehand Guard mounts to any Woodpeckers router lift or router plate as well as the StabilMax RT+ router base. It uses 2 of the starter pin threaded holes. Since the starter pin holes are concentric around the opening, you have multiple positions to mount the Freehand Guard, choose the one most comfortable for you and your project.

To use the Freehand Guard on any router lift or plate other than a Woodpeckers, you can drill and tap 1/4-20 threaded holes using the template provided here. If you're not equipped to tap the holes, you can remove the original knobs from the Freehand Guard, drill 1/4" holes and use bolts coming up through your plate.
