| Registered User |  Newbie Morning, I am an absolute newbie to woodworking. At the ripe young age of 71 I have suddenly taken an interest in woodworking and particularly intrigued with the router when I saw the Router Workshop on WNIT. I wish they still had the program on someplace. DIY would be a great place to have a show. I particularly like the router table setup. My main drawback is the cost of the bits and the wide variety. Being on fixed income that is sort of a owie. I guess, for me, it is something fun to mess around with. At least, at this point, I don't plan on making fancy or intricate projects - just some basics? I do have an "old" table saw and a radial arm saw. Do know whether I really need the radial arm since I have mitre saw. But, what the heck - the more the merrier. Another toy I would like to know about. Is there such a thing as a pantograph for a router or even like a dremel or something similar? You are welcome to use my email address in contacting me, if you like. Thanks Rath150 |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | HI Rath150 " Do know whether I really need the radial arm since I have mitre saw " Well all I can say the miter saw can't rip stock...  nor can it cut stock wider stock than 8" the norm..(compound angles )" pantograph " = yes, Sears ( Craftsman ) made one and you can still find them on eBay at the right price..at 80.oo bucks without router motor. I have one like the picture below Price of Bit's ,,, yes they are high but sometimes you can find great deals on them on the Net... Here's just one of many http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops...routerbit.html ========= Quote:

I agree about the price of bits, but you don't have to buy them all at once. Just get the basic bits and then buy others as you need them. I am a fixed incomer also, so I know where you are comming from. This is not a cheap hobby but it sure is fun.
