Most commercially available router table fences have two main parts: the base attached to the table; and the vertical part attached at a 90° angle to that base, usually by a bracket. These parts require adjustment and can go out of alignment over time. The PRTF-200 Professional Router Table Fence solves this problem. This completely redesigned fence consists of a single massive extrusion that reduces setup time while improving accuracy and dust collection capabilities.
Monolithic Brutalism for Your Router Table
Our new PRTF-200 Router Table Fence reminds me a bit of the post-war era reconstruction architecture in the U.K. and Eastern Europe: blocky, simple, functional, and starkly imposing. Say what you will about béton brut for your apartment block; I think a big chunk of extruded metal is the way to go for a machine fence. I've always wondered why router table fences have two pieces since stationary objects don't usually benefit from moving parts. The PRTF-200 is simple, and its structure is on full display. This design isn't just for show, though, and function is the end goal. Each element is a testament to its purpose, and this fence is good at its job.
Drop-In Simplicity and Additional Functionality
The PRTF-200 Router Table Fence requires no fiddling around to get it square to the table. Just slide the mounting bolts into the table tracks, and drop the fence on top. Its single-piece 3-3/16" x 3-3/16" hollow square extrusion requires no further adjustment. That's it—no brackets, no engineer's squares, no straight edges, no problems. Easy installation and perfect alignment isn't the only thing this design brings to the table, though. PRTF-200's unparalleled above-the-table dust collection is inherent in its design. First, you'll notice the dust collection port has moved to the side of the fence. Your dust collector's suction force passes through the sealed square hollow of the fence to the bit, preserving vacuum pressure. This vacuum pressure usually dissipates quickly in the open space left by typical behind-the-bit ports.
Exclusive PRTF-200 Modular Accessories
Along with our brand new fence, we're rolling out some excellent new optional accessories that complement the PRTF-200's innovative form.
Micro Adjust Kit (PRTF-MAK)
First up is my personal favorite, the Infinity Tools Professional Router Table Fence Micro Adjust Kit (PRTF-MAK). With some help from micro-adjustment specialists, MicroFence, we designed an adjuster with unmatched precision. It features a dial indicator with one-thousandth of an inch (.001") graduations and is the only micro adjuster we know of which is positionable to single thousandth measurements. This accessory makes it easy to dial in the ideal fence placement.Â
Height Extension Kit (PRTF-HEK)
For some operations, having a taller fence makes sense. Suppose you need to run a workpiece against your fence vertically. In that case, Infinity Tools Professional Router Table Height Fence Extension Kit (PRTF-HEK) gives you the extra support to do so safely. The fence extension is 24" in length and increases fence height to over 9". PRTF-HEK is perfect for cutting raised panels with Infinity Tools’ vertical raised panel router bits.Â
PRTF-200 Router Table Fence - New Design, Same Infinity Tools Quality
Just because we have a better design doesn't mean we've scrimped on materials, so there's no need to worry. PRTF-200 has the same quality you've come to expect from Infinity Tool's previous router table fence. This fence still has plycore fence faces, not cheap MDF. It still has a top rail with an integrated ruler to mount feather boards, flip stops, and other accessories. Of course, our optional Router Table Fence Flipstop (FSS-RTF) also still works with this fence. The PRTF-200 Professional Router Table Fence continues Infinity Tools' tradition of excellence without compromise.
