Fras, I've only ever used my Leigh with a 1/2" router but would inagine if your jointing thinish stock a 1/4" would probably do the job. Stuart

Tony, I've got the Perform CCBB and will admit to being pleased with it. Even with only screwfix (gasp!! :oops: ) blades it does a good job. Easy to set up although I suspect for some it hasn't got enough adjustments (can't adjust the top wheel if necessary) so have to rely on it working...

Got the opportunity to pick one of these up and wondered if anyone has any experience of them? I've got the 419 table saw and have been impressed with kity quality etc. so given that this one hasn't been used much should be a good buy? Any views appreciated. Stuart

I will have to admit to preferring flush edges so it looks like a case of applying some beading to all three drawers. Still wondering if a contrasting timber will do the job but can't make up my mind what to use. I suppose the biggest contrast would come from something like beech (I've got some...

Thanks for the replies, - all useful stuff. If I go for beading (most tempted route) what sort of profile? I'd thought about something similar to the old **** beading but wonder if that would make the drawers too different from the box. Alternatively just use a plain square edged lipping, -...

This is my first time posting photos so be gentle with me!! This started life as a 3 drawer 'box'. 3 drawers with a box on top all from 'scrap' teak a friend got from a boatyard. All going well, - if I counted the number of hours involved heaven knows what it would all come to. On the...

Sam, I've used old worktop for my router table and haven't had a problem with bowing at all. I put a 'balance' veneer on the bottom (which became the top as I didn't like the colour :oops: ) and it's been fine. It has less support than you're proposing (only support at the ends) and has had a...

Final bump before I go into crazy sale mode!! :D :D

Re-advertisement!! Change to Triton leads to a ‘spare’ Axminster Routalift. Specifications: http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/19/pro ... -23154.htm I also have ½” and ¼” CMT collet extension ( http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/18/pro ... -29824.htm )as part of the deal. There is some minor...

I too like the simplicity of the jig (why are the best ideas always the simple ones?!!). Any ideas how it could be modified for variable width as well as length? Would make it even more useful. Or would it just be a case of using packing for narrower boxes? DW, - do you reinforce the mitres at...

Shameless, shameless bump :oops: Perhaps everyone's waiting for the January sales? :lol:

Due to upgrade to new saw - Axminster BTS10PP Saw Bench. All specifications as per this link: http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/3/prod ... -21657.htm (Note: the top guard is different on my version) Comes complete with extensions and stand. In very good condition. Can supply photographs of...

Wasn't a drive by gloat I assure you!! Biscuit jointer had gone phut and I had 'approval' for a new one up to about £50. The Trend one was just to nice to miss and at (coughs quietly) £134 was a bargain!! I'm also trying the 'it will last me a lifetime' argument! So in effect I'm looking at...

I must admit to liking Alf's suggestion the most. Unfortunately the 'crime' has been committed and I'm now really looking for mitigating circumstances (m'lud!!). Frank - there is absolutely no way on this earth that I'm going Christmas shopping with her. No, no , no, no, no, no - it Just aint...

I think I'm in trouble!! :shock: Having just spent a 'fraction' more than I should have on some kit SWMBO will need to be pacified. I was thinking along the lines of 'you know I really need this to finish that set of boxes I'm making for you'. or 'It was a real bargain and I will be using it...

Thanks again John. Not sure if I'm being thick but can't see adaptor plate on that site. Overhead Routing plate is there but not adaptor, - am I missing something simple (that would be a surprise!!)? Have to say haven't really thought about removal as previous router had been a permanent...

Thanks John, - very useful. Is the mounting plate the same as this one currently on e-bay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triton-Router-Jig ... dZViewItem Might save a few quid?!!

As I'm now the proud owner of a triton router :D it's time to put it in the table where it will spend the rest of its life. The old one was mounted in an axminster routalift and I have to say that it is a brilliant bit a kit. A quick look at it tells me that it probably would not be a good...

Yet more expense as the hitachi batteries bite the dust!! :( Shame really as the drill is still in reasonable nick but at £70+ a shot for new ones (batteries that is) I reckon its new drill time. :D I've been looking around and searching in here and Makita seem to come out well in a few...

Yep, - already tracking the ebay one (now £51). Watching a few others as well. Have to say there really is some crap on there, - 'the best 1/2 inch router on ebay' for the princely sum of £29!!!
