Router table and fence- need your help

[Chems]

Thats such a fantastic design!

Riley, I am the Fire Starter. You'll have to tell me where you work an I'll drop in sometime, got another member for the Northampton massive.

I work in Market Harborough now. Keeping my eyes and ears open for more opportunities though (until the day I finally go self employed!)
Maybe we should wear a pink rose and meet at Northampton train station!!! :?

Thats about the only way to get into Northampton at the moment as every single road is undergoing road works!


Back to the topic at hand, are those hand drawn designs?

Thinking of a clock, 6 mins is 0.1mm. Fine enough for me.

That kinda slap dash attitude gets ua all a bad reputation, Steve!! :lol:

But got to say the fence looks good, think I may have a new project the weekend...

To be honest Riley, the jack idea was suggested to me a while ago, but I haven't got round to trying it - tho I have got a jack and the thread looks lovely and fine. Just not sure about locking it all off and the posibility of vibrating loose. I've been looking around and nearly convinced myself to buy the unilift from Rutlands, at least it locks off properly.

Maybe someone else has another idea...?

Hey Steve
Just checked the photos again. Is that a Unilift? Is it any good?

Compo, rather than buying something to adjust the height of the router why not buy another router. I have the Triton Mof001 and its great. You can change the bit above the table and fine height adjust above the table.

It's not a UniLift (although I believe they are excellent) it is a Router Raizer (woodworkersworkshop.co.uk) Yes it's good, but it is in Imperial, so I've I've made a converter to work in Metric (I'm not allowed to tell you where you can find it , you'll have to work it out for yourself or ask someone else).

I would caution against using a scissor jack though, the reason being that supporting it by the crown of the body housing is likely to block the air cooling vents, leading to shortened motor life.

Cheers
Steve

Yes, that, plus it's the plastic casing, can't really be a good idea. The more I think about it less appealing it's becoming.
Gonna have a look at the 2 previous suggestions.

I fear what was a new fence project is slowly becoming a bit more involved...
