  1. Table-mounted Routing
    I’m going to install a router lift and after a long debate, I’ve decided to mount it in my T-track feed table/workbench I built Instead of on the wing of my Grizzly cabinet saw. I’m having an issue finding a good lift compatible with my BOSCH MRP23EVS Plunge Router. I know it’s not compatible...
  2. Table-mounted Routing
    I have a little makita (700W) and I don't want to change always between table routing and free routing (self-made router table). Also, the 700 W is a limit. So I thought to buy a Bosch POF 1200 and use it for a routing table, fixed install. But I just read that this machine is not so good for...

    The printed WLAN Key underneath my router is not complete. One digit is missing in the middle. How can I retrieve the complete WLAN Key? A quick response will be highly appreciated.
  4. Tools and Woodworking
    I have a old skil router that I can no longer get collets for (obsolete/ discontinued), I purchased a new router to replace it, but I was wondering if there were any other uses for the motor which is still working well?
  5. CNC Routing
    I just bought the machine set it up. I couldn’t figure out the software that came with it due to the instructions coming from a windows 7 and I’m on windows 10. I’m not very savvy with computers. So I used easel. I typed in everything I wanted it to route and got all the way to the carve. Once...

    I work for a school who have decided they want to sell a Boxford CNC router that's been in storage for a couple of years, There's no software, cables, bits or clamps with the machine and nobody is very sure if the machine still functions. they want me to organise selling it but I wouldn't mind...

    hi my name is Britany I need to cut about a 1/2 inch off a 1 1/2 inch thick door im scared of using the circle saws unless the are the smaller handheld versions but I was thinking about buying the DeWalt DW618 with both bases for this. I also think ill find more uses for this tool in the...
  8. General Routing
    I have this model router (315.17461), that I just bought from an estate sale. There was no Owner's Manual to go with it. Right below the motor, there is this red/white ring that has numbers on it (i.e. 7/32, 13/64, 3/16, etc). This ring goes all the way around the outside diameter of the...

    Just a little fun with my Makita 3.25 on a Pine Round from Home Depot. Used 1/16th, 1/8th and 1/4 inch straight bits. No jigs or stencils. Living that freehand life. Hope y'all like.
  10. CNC Routing
    Hello all, I have been fighting with my router to cut acrylic for about a week now. Today I finally got it to pocket and cut out shapes by trying different bits and all of a sudden my spindle vibrated for a second or two while cotouring and the shaft bent. I have a 60 x 60" Chinese laser...

  12. Portable Routing
    Good evening! Due to a misfortune drop to the concrete, my trusty 30 year old Craftsman fixed based router needs to be replaced. I have narrowed it down to the Dewalt and the Bosch routers. Additionally, I will be purchasing a PORTER-CABLE Dovetail Jig with Mini Template Kit (4216). I want to...
  13. Table-mounted Routing
    A question less asked: I would be interested in a motorised lift , controlled by a remote. Beyond the convenience, I think it will contribute to a more accurate functionality. Today all the components required for building such lift are cheap. But, I don’t see new products on the market. There...
  14. Guide Bushings and Templates
    I own a mastercraft spin saw kit and cannot figure out how or where I would put on a guide bushing? Do I need to purchase something else?
  15. General Routing
    Stupid me! I have a Hitachi router and needed a router table. I picked up an old but still new in the box router table (Craftsman) from the local Classifieds. I incorrectly assumed that router mounting holes were fairly standard. Apparently, they are not. So I wonder if there is such a thing...

    Greetings All, I have been making Through Dovetails and I managed to absolutely bake a Freud 13/32" (Dia.) Double Flute Straight Bit with 1/2" Shank (12-112) for the Pins. For the Tails I was running ~23,000 - 24,000 RPM with the appropriate Bit and the speed of the above mentioned Bit for the...

  18. Jigs and Fixtures
    So I recently have expanded into using a router with my projects and when I went to visit my parents, my dad gave me 2 routers that my grandmother had left me when she died. However with me living across the country I could only take with me what I could carry. Now I didn’t need anything...
