My go-to all purpose high performance adhesive Geocel The Works Pro Sealant and Adhesive Clear 290ml Will definitely stick tiles to MDF

I just (2 weeks ago) went through this same buying decision and went for the PBD40. So here's my review after having it a couple of weeks and testing it. What it is:- small, lightweight (I have mounted it on a separate sheet of 18mm ply which secures to my MFT top equipped bench by bolting down...

Yes, I have 2 routers and the T11 never leaves the table, and yes I use a drill and socket to raise and lower the router quickly. The fence mechanism isn't very sophisticated but works OK for me. I've put plenty of work through it and for what is a budget table it's been fine.

Not really - From your thread it all looked straightforward. When I came across your mod, it instantly looked like a good upgrade because I've never been totally happy with the original guides. You did the hard work, figuring it out. It only took me an hour or so to fit.

Thanks for this thread. Just fitted this kit to my 350 today to your measurements. Perfect job and works a treat. This is a great upgrade. Cheers.

I considered building my own, but then bought this. Trend CRT/MK3 CraftPro Router Table MK3 240V | CRT MK3 Several projects later, including raising and fielding door panels with a very large cutter, and have to say there's not much wrong with it at all for DIY use. I have a Trend T11 in mine...

It's normal in some vacs to have a pre-filter before the main filter. The collection bags do let quite a bit of the finest dust through. If they didn't they would blind very quickly. You can also get industrial vacs that have good filtration, but still collect directly into a drum - on the...

I use turbocad, and have done since V1 on DOS back in about 1992. I'm not a CAD professional, but do still use it occasionally in the day job. I draw all my larger home projects in 3D. I find it invaluable to work out how stuff will fit together - not so interested in how it looks. I find it...

On sash windows I made fairly recently using accoya, I profiled the sash to be beaded internally, used an epdm gasket with lip Flexible EPDM Tape with Lip then dgu held in with dry glazing clips then bead with an epdm gasket along the edge retained by just a few pins - as the bead is decorative...

I have two devices. A master-slave plug-in adapter which starts the vac when the power tool kicks in and a cobbled together home-brew device which combines a sound activated switch, Sound Activated MiniVox Relay Switch | Quasar Electronics AS3126KT a cheap remote activated socket switch and a...

No that doesn't look dangerous at all...:eek:

I have one of those. It's a piece of poo but it does the job. I've put a heck of a lot of timber through mine. As a planer its garbage - the tables are flimsy and just don't stay lined up parallel, as is the fence. I have extended the thicknesser table with 18mm ply, removed the plastic guard...

cheers mike. I'm uk so metric :)

Hi Mike Not quite sure what you are saying here - are you saying it does work OK for 1/4" blade or no it doesn't without tracking adjustment? Also any chance you could upload the dimensions of the cut-out you made and hole positions? I think this is a great mod, and I've ordered the kit...

I suggest for fitting a kitchen a little laser level is a huge benefit e.g...

MDF skirting? use foam adhesive like instastik. No holes to fill, and will fill any gaps behind

It will almost certainly chip with a standard circular saw - you might be OK if you take it slowly, but most likely not. Power alternatives are proper track saw with chip guard on the track, router with a long cutter (e.g. kitchen worktop cutter), or with a steady hand a hand held power planer...

Yes, I was taught how to set up a metal plane at school. Have a few Stanleys and Records dating I think from 1922, 1934, 1940 and later - sometimes a hand plane is still the best tool for the job. (but also have a good selection of power tools) I also have a few hollows and rounds (and other...

You mention freehand and table work. These really require two different solutions. I use a trend craft pro table with a Trend T11 router. One significant thing to think about is adjustment - you need to be able to tweak the cutter height from above the table, so a router designed for table...
