INCRA Router Tables

The router tables from INCRA are made from a particularly flat MDF core, coated on both sides with plastic. The application of the plastic is done under high heat and pressure to achieve maximum stability and durability. The computer-controlled milled recess has 10 flat head screws that form a solid steel base for the mounting plate. The mounting plate itself can be conveniently adjusted from above using 10 hex socket screws. An aluminum T-slot rail is installed in front of the mounting plate to accommodate crosscut and miter gauges, such as INCRA V27 or 1000.

The mounting plate is the most important single part of any precise router fence. These 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) thick „MagnaLOCK” aluminum mounting plates fit into any INCRA router table and are pre-drilled for a range of routers. If your router is not among the offered pre-drilled mounting plates, take the non-pre-drilled one and drill the appropriate holes yourself. The steel reducer rings rest on 4 strong magnets perfectly flush with the surface of the mounting plate, allowing for a simple change in seconds. Each mounting plate comes with 3 laser-cut reducer rings with openings of 1" (25.4 mm), 2-1/8" (54 mm), and 3-5/8" (92 mm). The mounting plate itself is held with an eccentric screw in one corner – a 1/4 turn of the screw is sufficient.

There are very different opinions about what material router tables should be made from, MDF, plastic, aluminum, or cast iron. However, more important than the material is the question of how the router table and mounting plate are manufactured.

INCRA router fences can, in principle, be mounted on any router table, even homemade ones, but there is no question that a quality router table will enable you to achieve better results. The high accuracy of INCRA router fences highlights weaknesses in other components that might not have been noticed with a less accurate router fence, such as an insert plate that has play in the table’s recess or reducer rings that do not fit 100%.
