Good call Bob, I did nearly order that flange a while ago, however the pipe to the the router is 32mm ID, 40mm OD so was looking at another way. However, I already have the 100mm - 63mm reducer and I forgot I had a smooth flexible reducer from 63mm in 36mm. I found the perfect pipe for the...

I managed to get the T-Track bolted down and the fence installed. Here's a few view's showing the micro-adjuster etc. I then installed the router and tried out trimming up a piece of ply I had laminated with some spare formica. It worked a treat. I have decided not to mount the radial arm...

Here you go, some more pics, many thaks to Turbo from the MIG welding forum. This is the rear bracket consisting of 3 pieces of flat strip. They measure 73mm between the centres of the holes. This is the front bracket, there's a square bar that pivots in the main casting with 2...

Probably the top of the bookcase I have to finish. Now on the stag do and have to concentrate on which hand my drink is in, how far from the table edge it is and all that malarkey :)

I'm pretty sure that I won't bother with any edging, the formica on plywood look OK to me and functional but I will leave until I get the bolts just in case I change my mind. The end of the slots near the plate was something to ponder, some cut out a semicircle with a forstner bit or a router...

Doh! I wondered where it had gone!

post put in wrong thread by mistake - please ignore :)

I completed the routing of the top today, I'm awaiting the arrival of some longer 1/4" UNC bolts top hold the T-track down but I'm going away tomorrow on my nephew's stag do to Budapest so it will have to wait until I get back. I haven't trimmed the track to size as I'm still toying with...

My wife knows a lot about bugs, she likes them a lot, she can play for hours around an old decaying tree searching out critters under the bark. As soon as she saw the pic she said cardinal beetle.

Blue would have looked better with the light blue top but I'm not really bothered. Dovetailed slots sounds hard to get right but I can see it will be strong. This double T-Track has a 1/4" T slot on the underside, you bolt through the table with 1/4" UNC bolts and then slide the track onto them...

Thanks Bob. I did read the instructions on line before buying the plate and decided I wanted to route it out as a slip with a forstner bit is possible as I couldn't get the table under a drill press, too deep. It didn't take long, but a lot of sawdust, the extraction on the DW isn't that good. I...

Just got the insert plate fitted, the digital depth/wheel marking gauge on offer at Rutland's is your friend here, dead easy to set the depth of each of the 8 adjustable screws to the same depth. I also used it when routing out the mitre fence to depth. I bought in a set of 3 digital tools, I...

Well, I got 30 minutes at lunch time so set to. I sanded the body filler and set it down on the table and lined it up. Then I put a bit of MDF in the centre to stop router tip. If your careful you don't need it but this stops the possibility. The template has moved 2mm up and 6mm to the right to...

One step forward, two steps back! I got up early this morning intending to set up the plate for cutting. I should have left it there and cut later. Here's the set up, the template is bolted to the t -track which helped to position it. I measured it, went away and had a brew and measured it...

The family outing to Hebden Bridge finished early so I cracked on with routing the top. I decided to move the mitre fence a bit closer to the router plate, so got out the trusty bosch rails and router guide rail adapter that I modified for my DW 625 router. I spent an hour setting it up...

You would go and show me more tools wouldn't you - I must resist! However that looks good for the table saw too :roll:

I understand that Bob, probably a stupid statement of mine suggesting that we should however I was thinking out loud and just thinking about mitre fence placement. The bit I didn't mention was that I didn't think it was important to have the mitre fence that way round, I guess you could clamp...

So today I was going to jump in and route all the tracks and plate holes starting with the mitre track. I was following the table that "stuffimade" created here and on youtube where he used the mitre/T track to hold down the MDF router template. Not essential but a good idea. However I have...

Nice work :) That looks really good. I'm almost at the same stage, just plate hole/t-track to route out and drawers/doors to make. What are you making your drawers out of?

Some of the space is needed by the fence, but the rest is because its a big table and if I moved the plate too far to the middle I would be leaning over a long way. I can take the fence off and use it as worktable and temporarily I will have a Axi radial arm drill mounted on it. However, I...
