Optional Upgrades
-
Threaded Cross Feed - Already Installed in this unit!
With the Threaded Cross Feed upgrade installed you can precisely control the placement of your router across the width of the RGS unit, opening a new realm of projects that are possible.
For planing, consistently step over for your next pass leading to improved surface finishes that require up to 80% less finish sanding.
For everything else, the Threaded option effectively turns the RGS into a router table flipped upside down. Effortlessly cut box border inlay grooves, create equally spaced flutes on beams or mantles, edge joint, or perform shaping operations with confidence.

Customer Reviews
The True Trac products are top notch. We received ours within the timeframe relayed. It was complete and the quality of the product was apparent right away. Sturdy, well built and easy to set up. The ability to index the router on the slab enhances the final product.
Add to that the great customer service and advice from the folks at True Trac and it becomes an easy decision... Recommend Highly
I have used the flattening gantry to flatten two table tops so far and am happy with the results. It’s easy to set up and I would recommend the tooling
Works great at refining rough cut lumber into flat and usable boards.
