  1. Table-mounted Routing
    Anybody out there start with a midsize motor in their table but found they needed to upgrade to heavy duty? What kind of work you were doing that forced the move? I have a Bosch 1617 that has served me well for years, and have recently popped it into a new lift for my first table. I can see...
  2. Table-mounted Routing
    Had resigned myself to having to work with my Triton TRA001 router hand held, but then an RTA300 with stand came up on Gumtree for $250 so I just had to grab it. Problem is, the mounting plate doesn't look like what's in the user manual. Is this an older pre-2000/2002 RTA300? Did the guy...

  8. Table-mounted Routing
    To all experts and experienced Woodworkers, Please suggest me how to build a lift mechanism. Even though my Bosch router table (RA1181) and router claim to have macro and micro adjustment capability, I feel it is not working or very robust design. Either I don’t know how to use it or it is not...
