I've found Wealden bits to be very good value, CMT bits are also a favourite but stay away from the really cheap sets, they are a false economy, better to buy the best you can even if you rarely use them, i.m.h.o

The template I had in mind has a lot of tight angles and I thought using a small guide bush would enable me to get as far into the angles as possible but as with everything in this life it helps to think things through thoroughly and I realise that the template design is not router friendly as...

That's a point. I think I need to rethink this. I had wanted to use a template which would work well with a guide bush less than 10mm but had not taken the bit size into consideration so I think I'll try routing freehand without the template. The bit I wanted to use was a 3mm straight flute but...

Can anyone tell me where I might get a 5mm guide bush outside diameter to fit a Trend T3 router ?

Thanks for that John, will do. Cheers, Richard

John, just out of interest, does your TGA001 - Template Guide Kit fit other routers or just Triton routers ? Cheers, Richard

Is Titebond III as good as the advertising suggests and is it 100% waterproof ? Thanks, Richard

Cheers for that, I'll give it a try :)

Many thanks for all your replies. When all is completed I'll post the finished project in the Projects forum, it might be a while though :wink:

I'm about to start on a project to make a mould that will be used to create a fibre glass canopy for use on a custom trike. I need to make two one-off oval templates but I'm wondering what is the most accurate way to measure and cut them out to then use with a router ?

I came across this very handy piece of free software a few weeks back and after fully testing it out I can highly recommend it to all. Basically it helps you to protect your privacy and cleans up a variety of 'stuff' left behind after you've been online as well as finding problems within your...

Cheers for the advice.

Ok, nothing to do with woodworking but this is off topic and maybe some of you with the knowledge about such horrible things as flat roofs might be able to advise me. I have a flat roof that is 22' x 22' covered in 1/2" sterling board and a single layer of green mineral felt and it is leaking...

Trevor was a great bloke and he'll be very much missed both here and over at SDA. Rest in peace Trev, we'll not forget you! Richard

The Erbauer ERB255GS 254mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw is a dream to use imho. The laser guide is accurate and very easy to tune and the sliding operation is very well balanced and a pleasure to use, currently on offer from Screwfix for £129.99 and is 1000% better than the apaulling Sliding Mitre...

Hi Terry, did you once tell me that your Chestnut spirit stains can be used outside but need to be protected with varnish ? Sorry to ask you again but I didn't get around to trying it yet and can't locate the thread that you answered :roll: :D

I just wanted to let you know that the new Homeland Security Bill has been passed in the USA. Things will be different now and Internet surfing will be tracked by what the FBI calls a "non-intrusive method." The FBI says you will not notice anything different. For a demonstration, click on the...

Cheers both, much appreciated :)

No, it's an honest and serious question. Old house = very big cavities! Walls are two foot thick built from large granite boulders and at some time in its 300 year existance a breeze block wall was built 1 foot away from the wall and that means a cavity which sucks in and leaks out very cold air...

I know there are some very clever people here and I know I'm not one of them so here's my problem, hopefully you'll have the solution ? I have a cavity wall, the cavity is 15 feet long x 1 foot wide x 7 foot deep. I can buy 15 cubic feet of loose fill insulation in bags, how many bags will I...
