WoodRat - Little Rat (the version before the WR600), fits a Trend/Elu/DeWalt base but can be drilled for others or a new base purchased.
It has the plastic rails for straight/1:7” dovetails which frankly aren’t great, but also the aluminium straight rails which is what makes a WoodRat really good for joint making, firm repeatable stops and excellent control of the router for cutting mortices etc... (which I’ve then located on dowel pins so they go back exactly in place, every time). The plastic fence has been replaced with a piece of oak as the plastic version was terrible (they don’t sell it anymore, the new version they sell is aluminium). Comes with a cutter set for 1:7 dovetails that can be resharpened as they are HSS and has the riser block, cursor, user guide etc... so it can be used straight away.
Collection from south Salisbury - £95
