Thanks Corey

I just added the last of the snapshots (4 more) for the other chip pickup ,so it will suck up the dust from making the dovetail joints/box joints or dado slots.

It works great on both pickups, I just hate to have chips all over the place and the two new vac. pickups will take care of the one.

Bj, I hardly need to say what a fine job you did of making that router table, It did my heart good to see you actually used the plunge router with template guide for one operation but tell me Bob, why did you cut that large circle on the scroll saw when you could have done it faster and more accurate with one of you're many circle cutting jigs?, just curious.

Thanks Harry

The top is plastic and it likes to melt when using the router bit , the saw will not melt the cut and it's easy on the scroll saw,, it needs to be right on the button because it's a press fit in the plastic top so it can't spin in place..

Thats a great looking set up Bj. I know you can never have to many routers, or router tables, but you must buy those PC sub bases by the case.

I had a feeling that a pro like you had to have a valid reason Bob but the only way to learn is to ask questions and and not worry about the possibility of the answer causing minor embarrassment. Keep up the good work Bob.

Thanks Rusty

It's funny you should say that I just used the last one I had,, and I was thinking about getting some more or just buy a 1/4" x 4' X 8' off eBay for a 100.oo bucks and just make up the ones I need, I did check with HD/Lowes/Ace hardware and it blew me away what they get for that stuff
( 3' x 4' for 38.oo) so it looks like I will get it off eBay the only that's holding me back is the shipping, I'm not sure if UPS can take on a 4 x 8 and get it here without it being in more than one 4 x 8 ...without paying for a ovezise box.

I just made 4 (base plates) for the Colt and that took care of the extra ones I had so it's time to make some more, by the way I sure like your new bits and the router bit box the hinges are on just right and the latch is sq. to the case Grizzly can do it right most of the time

Hi Bj,At the glass shop where I work we frequently clean out our racks. The small plastic cutoffs end up in a box up front for $1 each. Our warehousman dos'nt really no the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate so there can be great deals in the box. Most pieces are plenty big enough for sub bases or even coping sleds. Check your area and even if they dont have it up front I bet you could get some good deals by just asking about small cut offs.

I will do that

Bj
