Hi BJ

As we were talking ones, I turn Green when I see your prices but, just to bring it to Europe it will increase the price by...too much...and the Imperial/Metric makes it even worse...and it will not justify the money for the 2½ boxes that I'll make in a year.

About jigs, for me, part of the woodworking hobby is, the challenge to make them myself and achieve the same results as the bought one (reading through your posts, I have the impression that you are also "Jig Maniac").

For example; Rockler has a Tenon jig that rides on the miter slot but I like the challenge of making it myself and, I made it, riding on the fence on rollers, steady as a rock and moving smooth like a Felder slider...

I would like to ask you, can I remove only one of the springs on M8V2 without any side-effects...this router has a "3¼ HP" springs that are heavy on my 63 years old hands...on the other hand, I want the "sprigability".
Or, maybe I can cut some, say, 1" of the spring length and see how it works...

Thanks
niki
