Brief description
The plastic insert ring is the wear part in the lid of the RUWI Classic Performance router table: it ensures a gap-free transition between the table opening and the router bit. You screw the ring—85 mm in diameter, made of machinable PE—into place using the four screws provided. The ring is pre-drilled; during the first start-up, the router expands the opening to match its own outer diameter. You’re familiar with this principle from the insert plate on a table saw: the gap between the tool and the opening is reduced to zero.
This offers two benefits in everyday workshop use. Small and narrow workpieces can no longer tip over or get jammed in the gap—which means greater safety and cleaner edges at the milling point. And because there’s hardly any space left around the cutter, the dust extraction works better right at that spot. Once a ring is worn out after many tool changes, you can screw in a new one in just a few steps—it’s best to keep a spare ring in your cabinet for each of your commonly used cutters. The insert ring is included with the RUWI Classic Performance milling table; for the Basic, Classic, and Premium models, the standard insert ring (Ø 46 mm) is available.
