I've currently got an Elu Mof 96 as my main (only!) router, and a Trend table. Mounting it up is an inconvenience though, so I was thinking of getting a basic router to mount on the table permanently. Would need to be 1/4" to allow use of bits in both.
Any suggestions or warnings would be...
Hmm, there's an axi with all the trimmings for £250 at present, might see how high that goes on eBay.
(Stay tuned for a post saying I've caved and bought a new TS200 setup from Axi :P).
As a very crude rulerule, look to do 3 coats over 3 days with Danish oil as a minimum. For hard wearing items oil is a great finish as it's very forgiving of hiding dings!

One operation that feels like it should be simple but baffles me is how to easily set the...
For oddjobs (I. E. Cheap and fast wearing) I've found faithful ok. Draper do some too. If they're more common cutters, pay the money and get good ones.

Air Pistol (targets)
Firearms (rabbits, some target)
Shotguns (clays, game)
Shoot for leisure and for hunting with all (except the pistol), have shot for many years. More than happy to answer any questions!
Just a heads up for people that their T track is back on sale, usual x4 for £40 offer. OOS on the 1/2" but they've got 3/4" - time to get making some adjustable stuff :).
