Hi all:
I am new to this group & in need of some advice or suggestions. I have recently come across an old aluminium body fixed base 1 hp. Craftsman router along with an unfinished homemade router table. The table itself is very large [too large?] & measures out at 32" x 42". It is very well built & features an arborite top. I have also been given a large piece of 1/2" plexiglass for use in mounting the router.
My Questions:
Should I uses the supplied plexiglass material to make a router mount or splurge & purchase one instead?
Anyone have any very simple plans for a decent fence set up? I have several lenths of 2 1/2 inch aluminium angle iron. Could that be usefull? Should I buy a fence? I see they are fairly expensive.
Will the 1 hp. router have enough power to get me started? It's in excellent condition so I would like to make use of it if it's at all worthwhile.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Glenn.
