The Panel Router requires just one operator. The fence is set at a convenient working height to reduce operator stress. The self-lubricating bearings on the carriage maintain carriage tolerances as well as easing use. The vertical position of the workpiece is easier to handle, plus gravity and the clamps keep it squarely in place. This simple straightforward approach to dadoing has made this machine a vital part of many workshops, large and small.

Horizontal grooves or dadoes are as easy as pushing the workpiece through the machine. Just lock the carriage at the desired position, then push the material through. The Vertical Index can be used to templet all your horizontal grooves, dadoes or rabbets. The Panel Router comes equipped with a templet system for quick easy vertical dadoing (see FYI: "Using Templets to Get More out of Your Panel Router"). This templet system makes duplication fast and precise. Do small pieces easily, accurately and safely using a fixture templet (see FYI: Endless Possibilities with Templets and Jigs).

Many things can be accomplished using this machine and a wide variety of tooling. There is a customer using the Panel Router to make mirror edges in solid surface material for seaming. The Panel Router is being used to make slat wall, cutting out the rectangle vent hole in pre-fab mobile home walls, miter folding on aluminum faced material, and the list goes on. The Panel Router uses very little floor space for the size of workpieces it can handle. This machine was designed to be a time, material and labor saver, and it has proven itself to be just that!
