Floating Router Insert Plate
The Router Insert That Follows Material Contours for Consistent Results
Create precise dados, grooves, and V-cuts with consistent depth, even on bowed, warped, or twisted sheet materials.
The SawTrax Floating Router Plate transforms your Vertical Panel Saw into a versatile routing system capable of producing accurate dados, grooves, and ACM V-cuts with exceptional consistency. Unlike fixed router mounts, the Floating Router Plate follows the contour of the sheet material as it moves across the cut line.
This unique floating design helps maintain a uniform cutting depth, making it ideal for materials that are not perfectly flat. As the router follows the surface of the panel, operators can achieve cleaner, more consistent routing results without extensive material preparation.
The Floating Router Plate is particularly valuable for fabricating ACM architectural elements, dimensional signage, display structures, cabinets, and custom millwork requiring accurate groove depths.
Its universal mounting design accommodates most router motors, giving shops the flexibility to use existing equipment while expanding the capabilities of their SawTrax Vertical Panel Saw.
Router motor sold separately. Porter-Cable® Model 892 recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Floating Router Plate?
The Floating Router Plate is a routing attachment for SawTrax Vertical Panel Saws that allows the router to follow the contour of the material for more consistent dado and groove depths.
How does the Floating Router Plate improve routing accuracy?
The floating platform adjusts to the surface of the material as it moves through the cut, helping maintain uniform depth even when panels are bowed or warped.
Can the Floating Router Plate be used for ACM V-grooving?
Yes. It is specifically suited for creating V-grooves in ACM panels used for dimensional signs, architectural features, columns, and display fabrication.
What materials can be routed with the Floating Router Plate?
Common materials include ACM, PVC, MDF, plywood, composite panels, and other sheet materials compatible with routing operations.
Does the Floating Router Plate include a router?
No. The Floating Router Plate does not include a router motor. Porter-Cable® Model 892 is the recommended router.
Is the Floating Router Plate compatible with all SawTrax Vertical Panel Saws?
Yes. The Floating Router Plate is designed to fit all current SawTrax Vertical Panel Saw models.
Why use a floating router instead of a fixed router mount?
A floating system follows the surface of the material, maintaining more consistent cutting depths and producing higher-quality grooves and dados on uneven panels.
