The Woodpeckers Freehand Guard 2.0 improves safety, visibility and dust extraction when routing curved and irregular workpieces on a router table. Designed for freehand routing operations where a fence would be impractical, it covers the cutter while providing clear visibility of the work area and effective chip collection at the source.

Two integrated starting fulcrum points provide controlled support as the workpiece is introduced to the cutter, functioning in a similar way to a starter pin. A clear acrylic guard helps shield the cutter while maintaining an unobstructed view of the routing operation, making it easier to follow profiles and control the workpiece.

The updated design accommodates material up to 44.5mm (1-3/4) thick and includes captive mounting knobs that remain attached to the guard when removed from the router table. An integrated dust port accepts 63.5mm (2-1/2) dust extraction hose or 57.2mm (2-1/4) shop vacuum hose, helping capture the majority of chips and dust produced during routing.

The Freehand Guard 2.0 mounts to compatible Woodpeckers router lifts, router plates and the StabilMax RT+ Router Base using existing starter pin mounting positions. It can also be fitted to other router plates by drilling and tapping suitable 1/4-20 mounting holes.

Woodpeckers is known for precision woodworking tools, measuring equipment and workshop accessories designed to improve accuracy and repeatability. Their tools are precision machined and carefully inspected in Ohio, USA.

Ideal for freehand edge profiling, template work and shaping operations on a router table, the Woodpeckers Freehand Guard 2.0 provides improved control, cleaner working and enhanced cutter protection. Supplied: One Woodpeckers Freehand Guard 2.0.
