    Failed router template cutter.

    Folding workbench mod

    Look at this incredibly low price here -- £29.00 LINK I had one before I built my work-bench, excellent; only takes 10 seconds to open or close The clamps are good too !! Paid £50 for mine when on offer at Screwfix, which I thought was good value at the time
