These setup blocks are a great addition to any woodworking setup. The quality is excellent—the aluminum feels solid and well-machined, not cheap or flimsy like some other options. They make dialing in router depth and blade height super quick and precise, which saves a ton of time compared to guessing or constantly measuring. Everything is clearly marked and easy to use, whether you’re on a router table, table saw, or band saw. I also like how versatile the set is. You’re not just getting one use out of them—they work across multiple tools and setups, which makes them even more valuable. Overall, simple tool but extremely effective. If you care about accuracy and efficiency in your work, these are definitely worth having in your shop.

It is made well and it was easy to make it fit in on my table saw the Ryboi router fit perfectly

I really like this Powertec fence. It's very well built, feels quite solid and, personally, like the blue colour. It's heavy in a good sense. There wasn't much to assemble right out of the box. I feel it's a great fit for any setup give the many options to adjust. Dust collector, feather board and cover are a nice addition that builds more functionality. I've been using it for over half a year on customized router table and works like a charm. As noted by someone else, the sticks that secure the fence in place feels a bit thin. I don't have large hands but have to tighten and lose with my index and thumb. It does work, just feels weird. I wish I could take only half a star for it. Highly recommended.

the only problem i have with it and i knew it was going to be a problem is that the spacing on the t bolt for mounting it to the table only narrows up to 18 inches,, mine is 14 inches ,, nothing a drill bit cant fix

Worth every penny! Well constructed! Only slight negative point is that it wouldn't fit on my Central Machinery table router (91130). I had to drill 4 holes in this brand new fence. And also, the supplied 'tie down knobs and t-bolts' were too big. I reused the ones I had with my table router. No biggie. Love it still. Now I can use my table router as a jointer and plane the edges of a piece of wood. Love it.

I had been curious about Powertec products, as they are usually well spoken of on places like YouTube. So when I found this insert, I decided to give them a try. I didn't strictly need it, but thought it would be a nice replacement for my phenolic plate I've had for many years. Mainly, I wanted it for the quick change throat plates. Mine requires unscrewing four screws with tiny rubber washers every time I need a different size opening, a bit of a pain. I also bought it after reading a review that it fit the HF Hercules router I'm currently using in the table. It does fit, and yes, you have to modify the plate to use the height adjustment feature at the top of the table. I don't blame Powertec for that, but it is a slight hassle. What I don't like is the quality control. First of all, the plate is supposed to drop into a 9 1/4"x 11 3/4", according to the Amazon listing, which is exactly the size of the opening I have. The dimensions of the plate are fully 1/8" short of this in both length and width. So I had to shim the opening with lots of blue tape on all four sides to get the proper, perfect fit. A hassle. And sooner or later, that job will have to be done again. If you are going to state dimensions, they damn sure better be correct, and these are not. Incidentally, the instructions that come with it state different dimensions. They say the plate is 1/64" shorter in length and 1/64" longer in width than is stated on the Amazon listing. None of this is correct. They do state the because it is mass produced, the size may be slightly different. What? Isn't that what quality control is for? But ok, tape-shimming solved the problem, at least for the time being. However, there are worse QC issues. The milling marks on this plate are fairly atrocious. I mean it is quite unattractive. I don't know if this shows up that well in the photos, but it doesn't look good. To top it off mine came with a small gouge in the top of the plate! If Powertec feels this is acceptable quality, I guess I'm going to be very hesitant to order anything else from them. Especially these days when you can order tools like this from China with far better cosmetics and functionality. Sad but true. So overall, the plate will function, but I was expecting a higher level of fit and finish. This one is a bit of a disappointment.

Well made product. I used it as an insert when I built a router table. I had a question and the company was very responsive.

Purchased this for the router table but then found that the router I was going to use didn't align correctly so I decided to buy another router then decided to buy a different insert plate that I could raise/lower the router without touching the router. I still have this as a backup and would recommend if you don't mind raising and lowering the router bit using the router's ability to do this.

Well built, works with Canadian Tire Maximum 14A - 2½ HP router. Great deal for the price.

This set of set-up blocks is well made and reasonably priced.

This was a serious upgrade to my cheap router table. Good quality, good adjustability.

I have a fairly new Skil router / table combo and this doesn’t fit my router at all. Not even close. The tubing is way too stiff. I’m not happy with this set-up at all. Will be returning for refund, sadly.

No me gustó el color azul que trae pero cumple con su propósito. Cuando le conecto el extractor de polvo si se nota la diferencia. Las manijas funcionan bien, se fija bien. Su manual está x pero es fácil armarlo.
