Peachtree CI Router Wing

[jteneyck]

Following up on the Peachtree router wing mentioned in another thread, does anyone have one?  It looks like a solid cast iron wing with a good router plate and inserts at a fair price.  I could use an upgrade over my home built extension.  If anyone has one of these I'd appreciate hearing your opinion of it.  Thanks.

Here's a link to what I'm talking about:  Link

I have one on a Unisaw.  It bolted right up.  I didn't use the included router plate, as that is not as nice as what I had. I use a Bench Dog fence.

I have one too. I had to ream out the holes to attach to my 1023. No complaints about it. I use a Jessum lift with it.

i have 1 as well and have bolted it right up to my older unisaw as well as a sawstop extension wing.  it has mounting holes to accommodate pretty much all saws.  

i too don't use the plate that came with it as i have an incra lift for the 3hp router i leave in it all the time.  i use the kreg t-square fence with the side mount and just use 2 l brackets to connect into the sliding fence ways with 1/4-20 bolts instead of the side mount.

very solid.  also has 2 x 1/4-20 threaded inserts on the underside that you can either connect support legs to or just attach hooks to hang a fence from.

Thanks for the replies, guys.  I think I'll order one.   I'll post a picture or two after I have it installed.

I have the Benchdog CI router table attached to my TS and it works great. Eliminates the need for another stationary tool taking up floor space and increased my TS surface as a bonus.

What do you guys do for dust collection?

What do you guys do for dust collection?

From under the table the boot John suggests with his HRT works right at the router very well. Above table you just about have to come from the back side with a tube coming into the back side of the fence. Consider you likely won't be routing, then sawing, then routing again, so the tube needs to disappear if you are sawing much, especially at width, but so does the fence. I'm not congested enough to need it, if I was I think I'd still prefer a freestanding router table, and just work out the logistics.

There is a dust collection attachment that goes on the router table fence and connects to the hose from the TS.

I have a Bench Dog CI router table extension on my table saw. The dust collection is integrated with the dust collection for the TS. My Sawstop has a 4" dust port at the bottom rear of the cabinet for catching then under-the-table stuff. I split the 4" hose to this port and ran a hose controlled by a blast gate to my router table. It attaches to a flexible plastic donut-looking gadget manufactured by Keene Products (Milescraft) (https://www.amazon.com/Milescraft-DR1160...+collector). The donut attaches to the under side of the router plate with velcro. It looks cheesy but it works great. It captures virtually 100% of then below-the-table chips and dust.

I have an Excalibur overarm blade guard/dust collector on my saw. I simply disconnect the hose from it and run it to the router table fence to catch the above-the-table stuff.

This setup captures virtually 100% of the dust and chips from my router table.

I can't say enough good about the Keene Products router table dust collection gadget. I'll admit it looks like a piece of junk, but it works way better than anything I've tried before. I set mine up almost three years ago and have had zero trouble with it. It is relatively inexpensive (if you consider that you're paying $40 for the idea and not just three or four pieces of plastic), it's easy to set up, it doesn't interfere with bit changes, it prevents dust and chips from getting into the router motor and, best of all, it works great. I have no relationship with Keene Products. I'm just a satisfied user of their gadget.
