FYI, the UKJ base and mixture of other routing bits are currently on 15% off flash sale at Axminster.. now until 10pm. Bleeding typical. https://www.axminstertools.com/ujk-technology-10mm-aluminium-router-table-insert-c-w-universal-base-502748

Brilliant, you have just answered the question I was about to ask next. The only flush trim bit with a bearing I have is a 1/2" / 12.7mm bit so that should do the job! Thanks. I must admit this exploration in to how to do this (before actually cutting anything) has led me on a path of wanting...

Thanks, that video is ideal and having watched it now understand what is meant by surrounding the plate etc. as opposed to having a template. I need to check my router bits; by my reckoning (and by holding up a forstner bit I have) the radius of the corner on the UKJ insert is 15mm so his tip...

I would be more than happy with your "bodging" skills! Thanks Peter, indeed I was referring them as examples of others I'd found but not any that matched the UKJ. It's looking like I'll have to make my own. I am curious about the SS insert... the internals of the worktop I'm using I guess is...

Turns out Triton TRA001 is on the compatibility list, but for the base... UJK Universal Sub-Base... for the manual for the plate itself it's not listed. Maybe it hasn't been updated.

Having never done this before, does anyone have any tips / approach to routing out the hole for the insert? Axminster don't have a jig or guide for it and obviously I want it to fit snugly in the top. Have seen manufacturers provide templates... but that looks like a lot of cash for a bit of...

I should really have checked the compatibility chart beforehand... as I made the same discovery; but as yet not married up the Triton to the plate... I really hope it does fit easily. And yes, if it will go in then I will have to drill for the adjustment tool.

Have received some bits but unfortunately not had any time to do anything with them. First view on this UKJ plate is that it's seriously chunky.

Have ordered the TRA001 from Amazon even if overkill. Couldn't find any of them anywhere else for a decent price that would ship to me. Slight fear that it drops in price on Black Friday but hey ho.

I picked mine up locally... the independent hardware shop here gets the Bosch rep over from time to time and they do pretty good deals.... I got all sorts of extras as part of a package deal.

Holy moly, £100 for the GKF600 at Screwfix is easily the cheapest I've seen it anywhere. Shame they don't deliver here.

Thanks. Have not tried Screwfix so not sure if they deliver here. As a slight aside, assume you've seen the camels... https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00779NCPM - pretty handy for trying to assess if something on Amazon is a good price.

Many thanks for the replies and tips. In reverse order... Thanks, have spent yet more time pontificating and despite there being some really cheap plates available on Amazon I have ordered the UKJ alloy plate with universal base. Seemed to make sense to go this route given that if my kitchen...

I'm not entirely sure in what order to present this, or indeed what the point of this thread is, other than a bit of show and tell. Today, I started building a router table. This was on the back of a random but enduring conversation with MikeK which started with me asking about the Triton style...

thanks all. Currently trying to get my head around the various kits that exist for this purpose. Ranging from the cheap shift you can get for t-bar to the eye-wateringly expensive (and constantly out of stock) UKJ router table kits...

Hi. I’m starting the process of building a router table. I have an off cut of kitchen top that I think would be good for it. I’d like install some T track etc in it for the fence and looking for some advice on the best way to rout this in so that the surface itself Is as neat as possible. I’m...

That's a thread I was meaning to search for / start... the rainforest-themed online store had a Trend dovetail jig on offer the other day... seemed fairly handy but a lot of money.

Had to bite my tongue... this label was on it. Nice little unit. He seemed to think you could take the guide arm thingo off and use it to create grooves (it has an extra section on the side to support the piece). Any ideas? Am mulling based on feedback about P/T though... he wants £100ish...

Ironically I want all three... this is hobby use to create varied home projects but I need to do it quickly... I get your point though; you're saying if this is mainly hobby then taking time and doing it more by hand / without fancy tools is preferable. And I 100% agree... but unfortunately...

Yeah, they're great for the smaller power tools, peripherals and hardware; have some smaller machinery too... they will order bigger stuff in... think they can get Scheppach too... but i've got a vague memory of them doing something weird with pricing... like you'd pay full UK mainland price or...
