    Has anybody tried a trend t8 router yet? + trend t8 vs triton tra001

    Basically it's a long machine screw which goes through the base and into the bottom of the adjustment thread, so it's just a matter of screwing it up and down. Just needs a hole in the insert plate to access the screw head. It's very crude but works perfectly and is very micro adjustable.

    Has anybody tried a trend t8 router yet? + trend t8 vs triton tra001

    I know it doesn't answer the original question, but the Makita 2301 has the facility for above table adjustment built in without any extra purchases. Coupled with a muscle chuck I find it ideal table mounted.

    Drill Driver Set?

    Not to put a spanner in the works, but I bought the cheapest brushed DeWalt set that Screwfix had about 8 years ago, £140 I think with 1.3 ah batteries and both tools have been well used on both general DIY of my own stuff and 4 house renovations with my son and they're still going strong. I...

    Smartwatch for the workshop

    I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4 which vibrates when I get a call or a message and shows on the screen who it's from and first line of message, WhatsApp or email title. Still need the phone to answer the call or reply to messages etc, but a quick glance tells me whether it's important or not. I need...

    Saw tooth bits

    Famag for me too, expensive but excellent quality. I tend to buy the size I need for a specific job and eventually you get a good selection with minimal pain!

    How do I do this? Help!

    This was my solution on a door I made a few years ago. It's not pretty, only visible with the door open, but it does work perfectly.

    Router bit too large for insert plate

    Ah, I misunderstood, I thought it was the base of the router itself that was too small!

    Router bit too large for insert plate

    Have you considered getting the plunge base for router? They are available on Amazon and eBay. It has a larger aperture than the fixed base so may take your slotting bit without any modification. Obviously the power issue still exists but you have more control over the router.

    Series 3: Britain's Best Woodworker

    I could be wrong but I got the impression that they were taken home as a good source of quality wood for other projects. There was a lot of costly material in those beds!

    Series 3: Britain's Best Woodworker

    Yes if they want to. I met Leo at the Harrogate show and asked that very question, amongst others.

    Structural engineers don't specify cladding (it's not structural), I think you're mixing them up with architects or even worse accountants 🤭

    Bloody officialdom....

    Indeed that is the theory, but I have used the same photo for my last 3 passports since nobody has to certify it anymore. Obviously still looks like me, only less wrinkles ;-)

    Advice about a ?ruined kitchen!

    +1 for 2nd hand from eBay. My son has a few rentals and refreshes the kitchens this way every few years. Some amazing stuff out there, the last one was 15 base and wall units, beech worktops, sink and a dishwasher for £300 already removed.
