Final bits now done and new router and lift in place I needed to use Dremmel to fine tune the ledge of the rebated table as there seemed to be good logic reason to use the WWW template steel rim this made rebate aprox 1.5 mm deeper I also needed corner blocks in place at the internal corners of...

More update on corner filler Tried several dummy run things including Acrylic laminated sheet hardwoods etc but eventually decided on hot melt glue Cut a template Radius in mdf strip and protected existing screws in the shelf rebate with cooking foil discs Tried using raw mdf coated with...

Here is pictures so far

Sso far so good but Axminster plate has 6 mm radius on corners but when I received the 1 mm thick Stainless Steel plate for woodworkers shop to use as template ( goes beneath the router plate to stop grub screw levellers digging into wooden bed in rebate) I realised the radius on template...

after conversation with www I have purchased the stainless steel base template ( keeps the base screws from digging into mdf type wood) I intend to increase the aperature in Axminster worktop from 229 to 235 using guided profile cutter and suitable edge fence and the 6mm increase will likely be...

Thanks for advice so far but I was really hoping to make minor adjustments to the plywood axminster pro worktop by widening aperature by around 6 mm at rear edge (or each long edge by trimming off 3mm) And inserting a shim in timber or aluminium of 3 mm to each short side of aperature shame no...

Hope that someone can advise I had a nice Christmas present this year of Axminster pro worktop for router table with fence also a router lift for Birthday ( sounds great ) Trouble is a clumsy arrangement of router fitting and congested access to remove router for plunging I really had eyes on...

Flue liner is corrugated flexible tube which is dropped into chimney stack and sealed top and bottom This effectively removes leakage from masonry flue Downside is that if a thatched roof then the flue temperature will probably be too high to restrict sparks from leaving chimney pots this if the...

if you are still looking I have a De Walt D27300 2100watt motor, 260mm width cutting, 160mm thickness ? hardly used as I am amateur and it scares me ! has 4inch extract and can send pictures, manual etc if needed ? looking for £600 Staffordshire.

I have made spacers fro the dog holes by using a length of 20mm broom stale and cutting 40mm lengths on a bandsaw then glue (no metal screw or nails please !) 70 x70 x 15 plywood squares to the top, these are quick cheap and provide great stand off spacers for cutting sheet so that bench top...

i have good experience with Axminster and warranty is good if blade snaps there is also a manufacturer in Swadlincote near Burton on Trent - very helpful for these odd bits as well. called Appleby woodturnings - worth a look in interweb

I have a Trend dovetail jig using loose pins and tails so infinitly adjustable if you are interested, I have rarely used it (twice !) since a gift from parents who thought I was better than I am some 6 years ago I think it is a tdj 400 with assorted full router bit set dust extractor...

Hi Tend to agree since I had exactly the same issues I turned mine into a. Recessed workbench saw by mounting the table top into a 30 mm ply bench top and then used the workbench to mount inset track from Axminster to use as a fence guide I use it for really roughshod awing for garden fence etc...

realise this is an ancient post but i have issues with the ASB12 bench in that there is a lot of dust spillage and blowing around, did your crown guard improve the extract at all being close to the saw plate? nice idea though.

thanks again to all for responses, i have since discovered a string (attached) #p571349 which seems to have covered this ground before. i will now do the deed with duct tape and MDF and see what happens, i will let you all know in time Hey Ho !
