Good idea Keith, quick and easy'
and this is still faster and cheaper...An excellent idea but longer and more difficult to make than holes.
You could make the dados sizes wider to stand the routers up in for storageNah. I've got one each 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" bits, all in routers. And one spare 1/2" bit in a drawer. Won't work for me.
Nah, that would be work, and a waste of wood. The routers are all screwed to router plates, each router plate has a hole in it, and I hang them from nails in the rafters. They are out of the way, don't take up usable space, and easily available.You could make the dados sizes wider to stand the routers up in for storage
In that case Theo I'd have difficulty making room for about 150 routers!Nah. I've got one each 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4" bits, all in routers. And one spare 1/2" bit in a drawer. Won't work for me.
and I thought room for 50 was difficult...In that case Theo I'd have difficulty making room for about 150 routers!
Nah, you're not thinking about it right. You hang the ones you aren't using from the rafters.In that case Theo I'd have difficulty making room for about 150 routers!
That's what brought me to the solution, so I could solve it by having the spacing all close together, which would have taken a lot of time with holes.First is a spacing issue. It always seems that the uniform holes are either too close or too far apart, which eats up the space.
I've used my prototypes for over a year and the recommendations in the video are tried and tested to *not* be too tight or too loose. Humidity doesn't grow and shrink the wood enough to make a difference.Second, is using a "hard" holder (wood, MDF, etc). The holes always seem to be too loose or too tight as use, temperature and humidity grows and shrinks the holes.
I feel like the availability can be argued with though - which dumpster can somebody go to to find these free scraps? The dado solution uses scraps without going dumpster diving. How long did it take you to assemble/glue the foam?I rescued the cut off scraps from a foam rubber seller... (dumpster dove)
can't argue that price...
wait... how on earth do you drill holes that fast?An excellent idea but longer and more difficult to make than holes.
And I thought you had the biggest router collection in the World . Looks like you may have been beat outand I thought room for 50 was difficult...
