    Makita Router Trimmer Kit

    Is that 6mm or 6.35mm. Apart from that, potentially one use throwaway bits that may or may not explode at around the height of your genital region. Your call :)

    Making a ring from a coin

    I guess you've not noticed those coin mangling machines at Zoos, piers and places like that. Nobody would blame you for filtering them out, but they did make me think when I first saw them.

    Big Orange Warehouse

    I think people know that, but have you ever been into a Travis where your face isn't known and been completed done over on price? At least there's no haggling at a B&Q if you are desperate and have a trade card :) I use my independent for everything I can except electrical and birch ply (by...

    I you were going to buy a router ...

    Do you know what, I don't know how good the triton is outside a table, so it's difficult to say. I've been spoilt I'll have to try it on a slab and see if it can do the job just as well as the OF2200, it probably can. In answer to your question, yes, why not get the triton and put it in a...

    I you were going to buy a router ...

    It's not a particularly special router though was more my point. For the money I mean. I've been down the Bosch route, I started out with one, moved to a bigger one and then got all Festooly on the routers, but my most recent purchase was a Triton just to sit in a table. I figured if I'm ever...

    Rookie bandsaw problem

    May need relief cuts before attempting the circle. I'm chucking that out there like a buzz word by the way, I could be talking nonsense. But it will help, look up relief cuts and you'll see what I mean.

    Making a ring from a coin

    I use the back of my vice now, but it's "precious" to me, like your ring..."precious". I have seen a few larger ones, but they fetch big money, not even that large really. I'll keep looking, but ta. This joke falls right on its ar5e if you are unfamiliar with Hobbits.

    Making a ring from a coin

    I'd like an anvil Andy, I scour car boots knowing full well one will never turn up due to the weight. Ho hum. Nice ring.

    Makita Router Trimmer Kit

    Ah ok, but the Bosch plunge base is only £60 so it's still slightly cheaper.

    geometry

    From the olden IT days, it's why we kept books on the shelves, there was no way we could remember everything, but I can't imagine everyone had 'The Modern Carpenter and Joiner and Cabinet Maker' handy for reference. Dying arts.

    Yes, I checked on mine after I suggested that.

    Query on router cutter

    Ha ha, oh yeah. Annoying that in the two pictures they've configured them for rail and stile? I should have read the words in the drop down.

    Makita Router Trimmer Kit

    Couldn't you save a ton of money just buying the Bosch? http://www.axminster.co.uk/bosch-gkf-60 ... sel=702335 Does the Makita have something different on it?

    Is this price right?

    Which proved everyone who has commented so far correct. Were you not happy with £20 or had you already asked someone else and were waiting to hear back?

    Query on router cutter

    If I'm reading that right, that's a set that isn't in a set price. Quite why you'd be buying one and not the other too is beyond me. I thought it was a bit cheap at first look. Rail and stile bits are like a weird optical illusion until you're used to them - I'm not used to them yet so...

    I you were going to buy a router ...

    I assumed the Bosch was a cheap and cheerful model...wow. Are you sure you want to drop that much money on something you might not use very much? Listen to Sunny Bob about the height adjustment.

    Big Orange Warehouse

    Only needed a "website" and headed paper when I got mine, but that was a while ago. Discounts are random, you're right, but they do often have the equivalent of a screwfix catalogue on the trade counter at the same prices more or less, just branded differently.

    You all (or at least some) have a Tradepoint card right? Or some means to use one?

    Pocket Hole Jigs

    The Automaxx ones (from Kreg) are also good. Look the same but self-adust for thickness - might not go as wide are you are planning. Just an FYI.
