M.POWER Tools’ Combination Router Base CRB7 greatly expands the usefulness of your router and is truly unique amongst router jigs. The brain child of an avid router user, the CRB7’s core functions elevate the average router’s capabilities and performance. The CRB7 increases overall routing stability, improves accuracy and quality of finish of every routing pass and fits the majority of woodworking routers on the market. It’s easy to use and requires no screws or drivers, reducing set up time to almost nothing.

Tool Functions:

  • Large Circle Jig: Cut circles over 4ft in diameter. Super fast set-up means that the router doesn't even have to be taken from the CRB7. Maintains the same level of precision, adjustability and accuracy of cut that the CRB7 has always provided.
  • Adjustable Mortising: A unique feature that allows “Centered and Off Centered” mortises. Decide on and precisely control the actual dimensions of the mortise.
  • Anti Tilt Support: Another first, variable height triangulated stabilization. Usually most of the router base remains unsupported when edge routing. The CRB7 Anti Tilt Leg supports the router eliminating router tilt, especially important when routing work pieces with a high aspect ratio.
  • Small Circle Compass: Route precision circles and holes that are actually smaller than the base of the router. Micro Adjust the circle dimension without disturbing the set up.
    Min Radius: ¾” (19mm) Max Radius: 8.¾” (225mm)
    Min Diameter: 1.½” (38mm)Max Diameter: 17.½” (450mm)
    *Measured using a ¼” (6mm) straight router cutter.
  • Adjustable Clamp Guide: Run the CRB7 up against your clamp guide to accurately route parallel dado’s along the length or width of your work piece. The Micro Adjuster reduces clamp guide set up time.
  • Off Set Base Plate: Increases overall router stability, reducing errors when edge molding by more than doubling the surface contact area between router and work piece. CRB7 also positions the pivot hand guiding the router toward the center of the panel, smoothing out the router pass action, reducing the chance of burn marks.
  • Adjustable false panel dado copier: The CRB7 provides a simple and exceptionally quick way of accurately repeating a molded dado. Ideal for production batch quality faux or false panelling.
  • Edging & Dowell Trim Kit: Quick-fit the Trim Kit Riser Pad, to flush trim hardwood lippings and dowels in one routing pass.
  • (Requires accessory kit 100-098)
  • Edge Guide Kit: Allows parallel dado’s up to an impressive 7.1/2" in from the board edge. (a greater range than a regular edge guide offers). Or edge mold decorative panels. Machined in solid clear Perspex with mounting points for a false face piece.
    (Requires accessory kit 100-099)

Tool Features:

  • Set up with speed and ease: Fitting the CRB7 to your favorite router couldn’t be easier. The New Crank Plates and additional set of Guide Rods allow the CRB7 to be fitted to any router with "through rod drillings". Select the correct sized Rods for your router and the Adjustable Crank Plates will adjust rod height and width simultaneously.
  • Quick Change: Unlike most router jigs, the CRB7 can be fitted/removed in no time. No fiddly screws or special fitting plates required.
  • New Locking Bars: Help to tighten and loosen the guide rods during initial“Set Up'' and Large Compass assembly.
  • New Three pairs of Guide Rods: 9/32'' (7mm) diameter to fit routers with smaller rod drillings E.g. Porter Cable's 690 series and 5/16 (8mm) diameter to fit routers with larger rod drillings E.g. DeWalt 621, and 25/64'' (10mm) Compass rods
  • Indexed Rule: A self-adhesive Imperial/Metric rule, another feature to ensure quick visual indication of the router cutter position.
  • Magnetic Pivot Pin Storage: A no-loose home for this essential component, safe and easily accessible whenever required.
  • Professional Grade Build: Made in the United Kingdom. The CRB7 is manufactured to the highest standards. Including hard anodized, solid aluminium bridge, laser cut 3/16” (5mm) thick acrylic base plate and precision turned steel and brass components.

The newest addition to the CRB7 package is the M-Power MHLF Mortise, Hinge & Lock Accessory. MHLF stands for "mortise, hinge, & lock fence."

This makes the MHLF the perfect tool for routing on narrow edges, such as cutting hinge mortises in the edges of door frames, grooves, or mortises for mortise-and-tenon joinery. One of the fences is fixed while the other can be precisely positioned with the micro-adjust knob.
