Hi again I tried another router and no adverse behaviour. The speed up to about 25000 was set but with the same problem. I have to say that because it was a cheap router I've more than had my moneys worth. So today i bought another and we'll see how it goes. Thanks every body for all the imput...

sorry about that. 9 out of ten for spelling.(due to my hangover) The wattage is 1250 and the brushes have just been changed.

Hi Paul yes I did try shallow cuts but got the same behaviour from the router.I have replaced the router in my table with a 1/4 router and this is cutting with no adverse effect at all. It is reccommended that the 1/2" box joint router bit is set at no more than 13000 revs.There are 5 speed...

Hello all I am using a Powerbase router. Speed 10,000 -28,500 and a Boxjoint TCT bit to cut !/2" finger joints but as the wood comes into contact with the cutter the router speed drops as if loosing power. The cutter is brand new and very sharp. I tried a 1/4" straight cutter in the router and...

I'm very impressed with the above information. I was beginning to blame the tools for the chipped ends of the wood and it is a simple problem to solve. The shooting board is brilliant and I did watched the video. Steve You solved the chip problem and the other suggestions have also totally...

I've tried the table saw, the miter saw and that miter saw that wobbles in the frame it came in and the results are reasonable. However I seem to get better results using the plastic box with the mitered angles already cut. Is it good practice to turn the wood over for each cut or change the...

Hello all, has anyone any knowledge of a woodworking vise from Dronfield tools. It has no screw/bolt holes and I can't discover how to fasten it to my bench. Is there something missing? It has the holes on the securing parts of the vise in order to attach the pieces of wood.

whats the best and simplest way to round of a lid (as opposed to being flat) about 8" X 3" on the top of a jewellery box?

I recently bought a dovetail jig from Screwfix (the £44) thinking of doing boxes. Know I must say that I'm just a hobbyist and inexperienced but find this particular jig to be distressing. No matter how hard I tighten the stock I find that the stock will move. I have tried the lightest touch...

Hello all does anyone have any ideas or plans for a simple wooden toy garage?

Thanks for that argee. The template guide is a little large for 1/4' dovetails but I have just been loaned a Base Plate - "Metal Bushing Set" and it fits along with the bayonet fitting guide bushes so its hopefully solved the problem. Now to try it. :D :!:

I've bought a Bosch 1100 and now want to know how to aquire the guide bushes to fit, to do dovetail joints. I also purchased a SCEWFIX 12' dovetail jig and the router guide collar7/16" (12mm) that came with it is not compatable with either of the routers I possess.Whats the answer. :( :? :oops:

Thanks for that info jasonb. I think this has solved my problem. I actually found Trend as Unibase.

Hello again jasonB how do I get Trends catalogue? I can't find it in the usual manner.

the collar that came with the router is 7/16" this is fine as I want to try dovetail joints. the size of the collar is to small for the router 2. 3/8" and the router size bush is 2.7/8"

Hello Jasonb This is an older Powerbase Xcel Router 1250W that has been use once or twice and hardly ever came out of the box can you suggest a dealer that has bigger bushes or other means of aquiring it?

I've just bought a dovetail jig and find the collar that came with the jig is smaller than the collar that came with the router. how do I get around this problem?
