Hi Tom
What is the big deal with a 40mm brass guide when most routers can't use it without a new base plate, I see Bob & Rick are using 1 1/2" one on some of the fixtures, what can be done with one that is 40mm (1 5/8" ) that you can't do with one that's 1 1/2" I still use the 1" one and it works for most of the fixtures I make or use.
Most bits that get that big should not be used on a plunge/hand held router anyway I think or I'm I wrong , most the ads I see, say to be used on a table router Only when the big gets
1 1/2" bigger, that's alot of steel spining under the router plate and if it gets hung up best hold on.
But I'm just asking
