Hi Harry
I'm going to disagree with you on one point, almost all routers have a big opening it's the bottom base plate (black plate the norm) that's in error so to say but that's a easy fix if someones want's to use the big bushing, but that's the kicker, we in the States can't get the big guide bushing...like the 40mm ones.
And you know what I think of the metic system,, we have a system that works why switch...

Another gripe of mine is that most of your routers appear to have small openings, restricting the size of guide. Things will only change when woodworkers start to demand these changes and to realise the benefits, an open mind is required. I'm about to put on my flack jacket! |
