Product Information
Full details
The Trend R Router Pod Stand is designed for woodworkers using routers with jigs and templates, particularly when a guide bush is fitted. Its primary benefit is preventing the router from being laid on its side or head between cuts, thus protecting both the router and the workbench. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for specific routing tasks where precise height adjustment is crucial.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Trend R Router Pod Stand?
Its main purpose is to provide a stable, upright resting place for a router between adjustments, preventing it from being laid on its side or head, which protects the cutter and the workbench.
Can this stand be used with any router?
Yes, the Trend R Router Pod Stand is designed for wide compatibility and can be used with all makes of routers.
How do I use the stackable feature?
You can stack additional Trend R Router Pod Stands on top of the base unit to increase the height, which is useful when working with extra-long cutters.
Will the router's cutter damage the stand?
No, the U-shape design of the stand is specifically engineered to allow the router to be fitted without the cutter engaging with the stand itself.
Is the stand suitable for all types of routing jobs?
It is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring fine height adjustments or repeated lifting of the router, such as when using jigs and templates with a guide bush. For very simple routing tasks, its utility might be less pronounced.
What material is the stand made from?
The stand is made from durable ABS plastic.
How do I clean the Router Pod Stand?
Clean the stand using a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
Router feels unstable on the stand
Ensure the stand is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the rubber feet are clean and free from debris. If using stacked units, ensure they are securely interlocked.
Stand slides on the workbench
Clean both the workbench surface and the rubber feet of the stand to remove any dust or residue. Ensure the router is centered on the stand to maintain balance.
Difficulty fitting the router into the U-shape
Ensure the router is angled correctly when lowering it into the U-shape. The design is intended to allow the cutter to pass through without touching the stand.
