No problem. I just cut the parts for my push block and I cut 3/4 inch dados easily with it. I also take back my comments on the VS, I found it very useful with the bigger bits to dial into the proper speed and it did just fine. 3/4 inch red oak no problem. I really think I could do the bulk of my box cutting work with this router alone. It also shows me how much I like the Oak Park set up. Corey | ||

Hi Corey That is what I'm going to do on Sat. drill the new holes in the new table to mount the Oak-Park Box joint jig(s) ... I think I said this b/4 but why use a 10lb. hammer to drive a tack in the board..when it only takes a small hammer to do the job...  Quote:

The best 1 HP router with one exception. The three colts I had, all had the same problem.  The router bit was not 100% perpendicular to the base from all direction. Even my little powerless Ridgid trimmer measures true from all sides.

3 bad units in a row? Are you sure your bit wasn't bent?

Well, I had tried several different router bits and two centering pins with 3 super accurate squares. All are perfect in my other 4 routers. So, I would say either they had the same batch of routers at lowes with the same problem. Or no one is testing the same way that I do. Use a long router bit and test it from all 8 angles.
