Pop-up Pins

[Josh Rayburn]

Has anyone had a pop-up pin system retrofitted to an older router that originally had wood manual pins or a different referencing system?
If so, would you be willing to share your experience with a brief list of pros and cons or feedback?
Thanks!

We bought our two machines about year and a half apart. The newer one has a new style pins which are stronger and have no movement when engaged. So we asked if it's possible to get the same on the older machine. Of course CNC Automation were happy to do it for us. Now both my operators flip parts without worrying about movement in the pins. I would say the only con is the price but if you use your machine at least 8 hours a day then it pays off pretty much right away. The pros are that you can basically use your machine with all it's functionality. It's definitely possible. Ask your local Thermwood dealer for quote. You won't regret it.
