    Why are router usually lifts so expensive?

    Yes, this does raise the question why the "lift" is not always build into the router somehow. All we need is a hole where we can put a hex key and rotate that to move the router vertically inside its fixed base. Being an electronic engineer that has designed so many complex digital systems for...

    Why are router usually lifts so expensive?

    My interest in router table is not just edge profiling but also things like dado and rabbet and groove e.t.c which require fence. From what I understand, the spindle moulder is where we have no fence and just need to round the edges. Is that correct understanding?

    Why are router usually lifts so expensive?

    Router lifts are used to mount a router with the intention of makign it easier to change the router bit height from the top of the router plate thus not having to do it from the bottom. I can see that router lifts are quite expensive. I don't think I need one right now and might not need one...

    Why are some router tables made up of cast iron but not others?

    So in my research on router tables, I found that the cheaper ones contain almost all MDF and plastic and as we go up in the price range, we get more and more alumium. Eventually, we reach the cast iron router tables. From what I have read, these tables reduce the vibration since they are...

    Shooting board woes

    By shooting board I thought you meant the board that shoots out from table saw because of kickback. Stumpy Nubs made a video on this "CAUGHT ON TAPE: Table saw bevel kickback goes through wall- WHAT HAPPENED??"

    Buying cheapest wood for woodwork practice in the UK

    Could you kindly elaborate a bit more on "local small industrial estate in search of Architectural Joiners"? Thanks. I threw away a 50£ computer desk I bought since it just started coming apart 2 weeks after it was assembled. I threw it away. Maybe I should have saved the panels and ruined them...

    Buying cheapest wood for woodwork practice in the UK

    Timber is quite expensive but even engineered wood (Plywood and MDF) is not exactly cheap. For a person that is learning woodworking, they would like to make some stuff (just to throw away later) to improve the skill and experiment with different techniques. How and from where can a person buy...

    Router and Router Table advice

    How do we get straight dado and rabbet if the fence is not important? The dado and rabbet needs to be a certain distance from the edge. It can be done using a mitre gauge and table saw and this will keep it straight. So do we also use mitre gauge on the router table? What if I need a 6mm...

    Router and Router Table advice

    I actually prefer to buy a 2nd hand router table. I have seen many videos in which people are using router table for various things. I do understand what a router table is capable of. I can see that I can try and build one myself as well. However, a self built table might not be "straight" and...
