    Ah OK thanks. I guess my question stands then but also embraces half inch collets!

    Cheap router choice for table mount

    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...

    Kitty 419 second hand

    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).

    Kitty 419 second hand

    Might be able to put my hands on one of the above, with all extensions, for £300-£350. Worth it?

    Flattening Machine Tables

    Why not get it milled? Assuming you have a contact with a suitable machine, it would be a straightforward job.

    Its time to share some work! oh and finishing Q

    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!

    Its time to share some work! oh and finishing Q

    I like the medal holder :). For another finish, try carnuba or microcrystalline wax. Both are good versatile hard finishes to give you a bit more breadth than Danish oil. If I can offer a couple of hopefully helpful comments, it looks like you have some torn grain showing on your...

    Setting distance to fence on router table

    Ah, I did the overkill version. 30mm slot to take a perfect fit of the largest Bush I've got, all other cutters then run central. Overkill but simple!

    Setting distance to fence on router table

    Depending on what it is it either gets cut with my freehand round and T-jig at the moment (need to read up on adjustable ones!), or through many cuts on my RAS. Without a dado stack. So many, many cuts :D.

    Homemade dust extraction - my thoughts so far.

    Ok, I'll jump in with a lot of what I suspect will be repeated messages... Firstly, read up on HPLV vs HVLP (this will tell you a lot, I know because I've been through the same journey in the last few months). This is why your hoover isn't a good choice for the planer etc. Secondly, you say...

    Setting distance to fence on router table

    I've already built one of these (not adjustable), just thought I must be missing something! Thanks for all the replies.

    Setting distance to fence on router table

    So I'd say that I'm a very basic freehand router user, with my main saving grace being that I know I'm a novice. Whilst I do have a table, I really don't know anything about getting the most from it. One operation that feels like it should be simple but baffles me is how to easily set the...

    Nice piece of wood, nice turning. That graphic of shear scraping scares the bejeesus out of me though!

    Routing!

    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.
