Hi there.
I found the forum accidentally... was Googling for tips on how to rout(?e) a hole in a counter top for a router table I'm endeavouring to build. Was surprised to find such a specific forum... I had all sorts of questions, but rather than just go ahead and ask them, I've been able to find a lot answers from the very extensive archives!
On the subject of my router table, I'm using an offcut of kitchen worktop (so a laminated particle board I think) and some UKJ (from Axminster Tools) hardware including their alu insert plate. I've got a Triton TRA001 to attach to it. The issue I had initially was they don't supply a template / guide to cut the hole for it; and I don't think one exists so will next be looking at making one... I'm intrigued to know if a specific type of bit is needed to cut it out; I had assumed that a straight bit with a guide bush would probably be enough... but based on what I've seen on this forum I have a huge amount to learn about how to use a router properly and effectively!
Anyway, hi. I live on a small island in the middle of the water between England and France and don't have access to extensive hardware shops locally, so I depend on the UK based websites and Amazon / eBay etc. for what I need which does pose some limitations.
