It is at the back if you consider the front to be where the drawers are. But the plate and fence is on the left hand end of the table, so as your using it then the NVR is on your left. I wanted to stick it on the right but that would interfere with the drawer space. Once I start using it, if I...

I didn't have time to start routing out the top but I did get the electrics finished and screwed down the top. I put the NVR to the left of the fence as it is next to the router cabinet, the NVR doesn't come with a back box, so I cut a square hole in the ply and screwed the NVR to the panel...

Thanks for the kind words, great minds think alike :) I was just contemplating that last night and found a socket with a nice deep box. The plan is to cut a hole to the left of the router cab for the switch which will go directly into the back of the deep socket box. I then wire it to the rear...

Thanks AES I have completed all the static bits of the base now, just drawers and doors to make and fit, although I have installed the runners, partly because its easier before assembling the narrow bits of the cabinet, and partly to get the runners off the shop floor. I cut a few spacers to...

My dad used to work at a steel rope maker, to temper the steel rods it was drawn through tanks of molten lead. They kept the heat in by manually sprinkling bags of asbestos on top....

I was talking to a lady yesterday who stopped a worker on a stone conservation job from applying hydroflouric acid without any PPE, gloves, nothing. Definitely a Darwin award moment avoided. It's times like this when you think a bit of training is a good thing, some people can't be bothered to...

Thanks Bob, I'll take that into account when I fix the top, rather than fiddle about under the table I was going to fit the plate adjusters and plate before placing the routing table onto the cabinet. No more tinkering time now until Friday evening however I did count up my available tool money...

I've asked the owner of the drill some questions so if he still has it he may take some pics for you. Cheers Andy

Can you get to this link? Loads of pics of a super 8 under the hood. Cheers Andy

I was tempted to lash something up quickly for the base too, especially once all the shiny bits arrived but as my excuse for doing this before the kitchen was that I was practicing new techniques and tools to use on the kitchen I thought I had better keep to the script. As it happens it has been...

You could try Landy Lift I hear good things about them

with a VFD you have variable speed control so less belt changing. Static conversion is less efficient and I have heard of motors not faring well if capacitor values are not correct however your probably looking sub 20 quid for all the bits. A new motor isn't a bad option if your not likely to...

yes, static is the capacitor option, you have to get the values right and even then it's not good on efficiency but can be cheap. I use inverter drive supermarket usually, I have a couple of VFDs. 0.37kW is the same as 0.5hp so you want a 240v single phase input, 240v 3 phase output 0.37kWor...

I would definitely go VFD as well but if you want to give a static phase converter a go then here's a typical diagram, I was going to use it to power a lathe suds pump but it turned out the motor was cream crackered so bought a 240v replacement. Here's a good phase converter site too Which...

Slow but steady progress, I've cut about two thirds of the panels and started assembling some. I've used mainly dominoes with the occasional screw where I can't clamp it, or I can't insert a domino or if I think it needs a bit more strength. I'm a domino novice so I have made the usual schoolboy...

it ate only 3 pencils today, but it has taken my camera to make up for it.

This is the woodpecker combined T-track and mitre track also from woodworkers workshop that I'm using on my router table. I fancy one of their Incra mitres too, I shall see how much I raise with my barn clearout.

Very nice seat Bob, lovely for sitting in. I hope you have sanded them well if they are going to be used for love too ;)

Woodpecker do the combi track so it has a mitre and a narrower t track combined which makes it a bit more flexible.

The woodpecker mitre and T tracks are good and strong, instead of drilling the t slot to fix they have an upside dow T track which you slot 1/4" bolts which are easily available on the bay or you can buy a bag of nuts for them from woodworkers workshop.
