VST-18 Router table slot cover — anodised aluminium, 450 mm

The VST-18 is a cover designed for router table slots, intended to close a standard 18 mm groove and reduce dust ingress while maintaining a low-profile work surface.

• Anodised aluminium construction
• Fits 18 mm router table slot
• 450 mm length for broad coverage
• Supplied as a set of six
• Light weight, only 0.6 kg

Cleaner benches and improved operator safety

A sealed working area reduces airborne dust and the risk of small offcuts catching under the workpiece. The anodised aluminium profile creates a smooth transition across the table surface, preserving fence alignment and helping to prevent workpiece snagging. With a low 13.3 mm height and a continuous 450 mm length per section, the system keeps the tool zone tidy without compromising visibility of the cutter. This delivers a measurable improvement to workshop ergonomics and process reliability while also simplifying routine clean-up.

Durable construction for long service life

Manufactured from anodised aluminium, the cover provides corrosion resistance and a scratch‑resistant finish suitable for everyday workshop use. The robust material reduces the need for frequent replacement and supports consistent performance under regular mechanical stress. The moderate mass (0.6 kg) ensures ease of handling during fitting and reconfiguration, while the profile resists deformation that would otherwise affect table flatness and routing precision. This combination of durability and stability underpins predictable machining results.

Modular set for adaptable workshop layouts

Supplied as a set of six, the sections can be arranged to cover wider tables or replaced individually as wear occurs, minimising downtime. Each section is tailored to fit a 18 mm slot width, enabling straightforward installation into standard router tables without custom machining. The modular approach simplifies inventory management for workshops: damaged segments are replaced rather than the entire cover, which conserves resources and reduces lifecycle costs. The lightweight, anodised elements also support quick swaps during setup changes.
