Windchest milling machine as cross support for existing manual router

This ideal milling device for an existing manual router enables many milling and drilling jobs on a windchest thanks to the ball-bearing mounted router table. It can also be used as a face milling device, stair stringer router, cut-out router, etc.

The cross support can be placed and fixed directly on the windchest plate and can also be moved accordingly for long and wide windchests. This makes it possible to mill valve slots and drill loop holes, including slotted holes, without the need for other expensive equipment, even without a CNC table router.

Our cross support with 100 cm long guide rails enables travel distances of 670 or 700 mm from the center to the center of the hole within the cross support.

Our cross support has ball bearings in all directions and can be easily dismantled into 2 rails and the carriage unit for storage.
The device mounting table can be used for small and large hand routers and has a 50 mm hole in the middle. The mounting holes for your hand router can be easily drilled in the aluminum table yourself. We supply the cross support including 4 ring clamps for the round guide rails for limiting or fixing the router table. The router support table runs only 8 mm above the table surface. Together with the router support table, this only reduces the router length by approx. 18 mm during use.

Components of the cross support:
1 piece router carriage with guide rails on both sides approx. 1100 mm long
2 pieces of guide rails for the complete router carriage in 1000 mm length
4 pieces of adjusting ring for work limitation

Such a device, which can be easily moved in 4 directions, enables many conceivable additional areas of application for your existing manual router. Wherever a large CNC router is not available, this is an inexpensive alternative for clean routing and drilling work with a manual router, especially on larger surfaces.
