    Power Feed - advice

    Hi, thanks. Thinking of making a mobile unit for the feeder. Castors to move it, then adjustable feet to level it up. Perhaps locating bolts to lock it to the router table. Might that work ?

    Money's no object !

    So, you've won the lottery, come into a big inheritance, etc. Cost is no longer a problem, nor is limited space in the workshop. You can indulge yourself ! What kit would you buy, and why ? Would it be brand new (modern), or a professionally refurbished classic item ? Sadly this is not me -...

    Jointing a Large DIY Oak Tabletop

    Many thanks - food for thought ! Trouble is that he's desperate to get it finished. I guess we've all been there.

    Router Cutters - Which Manufacturer

    Many thanks again all. Seems my friend's source has to be Screwfix, so that's a bit limiting. Nonetheless they're almost free he says. I expect they wil be, because they're his backdoor way of a 'thank you' for some help I'm given him. I suspect he's actually paying full whack for them ! I'll...

    Router Cutters - Which Manufacturer

    A friend of mine can get me new router cutters at very reduced prices. The options are Trend, Erbauer, Bosch (only a few) and Freud. Is there a generally agreed manufacturer to go for ? If there is a preference, would there be any particular order ? Thanks.
