The Toe Notch Plate attaches to a standard router and maintains the router at approximately a 75 degree angle from the work piece and is adjustable for use with ¾″ or ½″ material. It also maintains the router bit a consistent distance from the edge of the work piece. When the router is moved along the edge of the work piece it will create an angled groove providing a resting point for a nail gun and an entry point for brad nails. This allows the grooved piece to be toe nailed to another piece of wood which typically will be perpendicular.

An apparatus configured for use with a router includes a top plate, a carriage, a threaded shaft, a first adjustment mechanism, and a second adjustment mechanism. The carriage is configured to at least partially surround the router. The threaded shaft has a first longitudinal axis, the shaft connecting the top plate and carriage so that the carriage is movable along the first longitudinal axis. Rotation of the first adjustment mechanism about the first longitudinal axis in a first direction and for a number of rotations is configured to rotate the threaded shaft about the first longitudinal axis in the first direction at a first speed. Rotation of the second adjustment mechanism about a second longitudinal axis for the number of rotations is configured to rotate the threaded shaft about the first longitudinal axis in the first direction and at a second speed that is faster than the first speed.

A woodworking spindle has a spindle shaft disposed in a spindle housing. One or more rotary bearings support the spindle shaft in the spindle housing. One or more temperature sensors are provided that detect the temperature of the one or more rotary bearings. An evaluation unit is provided and temperature signals generated by the temperature sensors are supplied to the evaluation unit that generates output signals based on evaluation of the temperature signals generated by the temperature sensors. In a method for monitoring the temperature of rotary bearings of a spindle of a woodworking machine, the temperature of the rotary bearings is permanently detected and rotary bearing temperature signals are generated. The rotary bearing temperature signals are sent to an evaluation unit and compared with a first temperature limit value. A first output signal is generated when the temperature signals reach a first temperature limit value.

A router includes a motor assembly that is arranged and configured to hold a router tool and to impart rotation to the router tool and a frame that is fixed in size and that is configured to house the motor assembly.

A circle compass is provided. The circle compass includes a main body attachable to a router and an adjustable arm. The main body includes a central receiving aperture configured to receive a router bit or shaft therethrough. The adjustable arm is slidably attached to the main body and has a centering pin. The centering pin extends axially outward beyond a bottom side of the main body. The adjustable arm is slidable along an adjustment axis between a retracted position being associated with a smallest hole that can be formed and an extended position being associated with the largest hole that can be formed. The adjustable arm includes a clearance slot that at least partially aligns with the central receiving aperture of the main body through which the rotating portion of the router must extend to form a cut in the work piece.

A hand-held power tool, in particular a router, includes a machine housing and a support device for guiding the hand-held power tool on a workpiece. The support device has a carrier element, in which the machine housing is at least partially received and fastened. A foot plate which allows an insert tool, in particular a milling tool, to pass through and which is designed to bear against a workpiece is fastened to an end flange of the carrier element facing away from the machine housing. An edge guide for guiding the hand-held power tool along an edge of the workpiece is fastenable to the end flange of the carrier element. A groove is formed in the end flange. A fastening portion of a holding arm of the edge guide can be received interlockingly in the groove and can be fastened by means of at least one fastening element.
