Hi. Have you considered the Bosch (blue) GMF 1600 CE? It comes with two bases - plunge base for handheld operations and a fixed base that you can leave permanently mounted to the underside of your router table. The motor unit swaps easily between the two bases. There is a micro-adjust on both...

Welcome. Which model of Bosch router are you using?

Don’t agree James. It seems like a deliberate design, with the rationale as per Deema’s comments above.

A while back, I made some paste wax following this recipe from Chris Schwarz. Very similar to this from James Wright: Essentially linseed oil and beeswax in varying ratios depending on the consistency you're looking for. Natural linseed oil can be replaced with boiled linseed oil if you're...

I use the same Shinwa mitre square for machine setup (fences on surface planer, bandsaw, etc.) and other things. It’s an excellent tool.

Just as well he managed to escape :eek:

Shocking and terribly sad. Our deepest condolences!

Me too (y)

Does anyone have first-hand experience with this product? If so, interested to hear your thoughts. Expensive luxury or major upgrade? Looks like a bit of a faff to install but the micro-adjustment system is appealing for very precise ripping & resawing (especially veneers). @Nick Laguna UK...

Hi Chris What size drill bushes is it supplied with? I guess they are imperial, not metric? TIA

I think Custard should be added to that plaque!

Nice work Doug. Looks great.

Hi Rob Just to clarify, you're looking for a router that will be dedicated to the router table - i.e. installed there and used only for that purpose? If that's the case, I would look at something like this: INCRA Mast-R-Lift II (Metric) with AUKTools 2400W Fixed Base Router Remote Speed...

Doesn’t directly address your question but worth a watch:

Seems not. Glad you persevered Robin and got the info you wanted.

Feedback possibly a bit harsh here imo. It's an auction and maybe you slap a bid in and don't expect to win. Now you've won you want to know more info about the condition of the machine before parting with a substantial chunk of cash. Doesn't sound like the original description offered much in...

Are you musically literate? I know some people do pluck the blade and listen for a specific pitch. But I wouldn't have the first clue. Or do you just mean you tension the blade until it cuts well?

This question also intrigues me. In addition to why M42 blades require greater tension than regular carbon steel blades, I also would like to know why carbide tipped blades require even more? I use a 20mm (3/4") 3TPI M42 blade which I can tension fine and cuts straight and true. But the 20mm...

Not sure it's as simple as that. Old heavy cast iron machines were made to last the test of time. That there are so many of them still running, decades after being manufactured and having endured a tough life in joinery workshops, is testament to this. It will be interesting to see how the...

Hi Daniel. With the Holzprofi machine you might be able to negotiate something up to 20% discount on the price advertised on the website. No guarantees, but that's what I got without too much effort. Worth sending an email asking for a quote and enquiring about time frames for delivery...
