## Overview

The Woodpeckers FHG Free Hand Guard is a versatile and user-friendly accessory designed to enhance your routing experience. It easily attaches to Woodpecker Router Plates and can be adapted for other brands, accommodating materials up to 1-1/2" thick. Proudly made in the USA, this guard ensures quality and reliability for all your woodworking projects.

## Description

If you're doing free hand routing, you know how tricky it can be to start the cut. Router bits tend to spin the board and gouge the wrong edge when you start the cut. This often results in damage to your carefully shaped furniture parts. Starting Pins can help you gain control but don't offer dust collection or protection from flying chips. The new Woodpecker Free-Hand Guard does all these things in a well built, high quality form. The Free-Hand Guard serves three purposes; first it provides a fulcrum to rest your board against, second a dust port for a hose hook up and third a shield to keep chips from flying up into your face. (The shield is not a substitute for goggles.)Our new Free-Hand Guard attaches directly to any Woodpecker Router Plate or Lift and Woodcraft's Pinnacle Router Plate that has 4 threaded starting pin holes. Two knobs make it simple and fast to install or remove. It's also adaptable to other brand plates by simply drilling two holes and using the included alternate attachment screws. (Instructions included.)The Free-Hand Guard is made up of a laminated birch base, a phenolic top plate, an acrylic shield with a combination 2 1/2-inch - 2 1/4-inch dust port. Accommodates materials up to 1 1/2-inch in thickness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Saves setting up fence every time.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2022*

Excellent ft and finish. Captures 90% on router chips above table. With this run to vacuum and dust collector run to dust box around router I’m getting near 100% of dust and chips.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Awesome product.
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020*

This is a great product.  I was skeptical how well it would work as I assembled it but some good thought was put into the design. The space between the clear plate and wood pieces allows for great airflow when used with a dust collection system. I am able to use the included threaded knob to directly attach this to my Kreg router lift—it can then be used a starter guide for routing.The packaging was also very impressive—inspection labels with names of who inspected what portion of the product. Great quality control.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Installation on cast iron requires some difficult drilling.
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021*

It’s well made but a little difficult to first install. Also, because my router station is attached to my table saw it isn’t a real go to item
