Greetings All,
Well, what a welcome! Thank you for making me feel at home straight away. I don't think I shall fear asking the dumbest questions now!!
GeorgeII, I've sourced the book on Amazon and have placed an order for a 2nd hand copy, really cheap, too.
Router Is Still My Name, WoW Some pic, that! I've done a fair amount of drilling into metals and I know only too well the heartsinking feeling when you hear the dreaded "SPANG" of a drill bit pushed beyond its endurance. I'm going to have to remember that wood is just as hard as any metal when the cutting tool is turning at many thousands of RPM.
A general question, do the Forum Members consider MDF to be a suitable top-surface for a work-bench, and if so, what thickness would they recommend?
Once again, many thanks for the warm, world-wide welcome!
Steve Brown.
