It was an M4 if anyone was wondering. Ended up buying a selection box from Amazon, which had M3/M4/M5s in three lengths of each 10mm/15mm/20mm £12 so not bad really, I expect they will always come in useful

Thanks all for the suggestions I now have a template and am about to drill the new holes in the router table base plate, but have a sort of related question. The screws that fix the router base plate to the router are about 5mm long, plenty for that purpose, but I estimate Im going to need...

:) Well spotted, it is indeed the Trend Pro, and thanks for the detailed steps, I think its just biting the bullet and going for it.

Perfecto, I think even I can follow that !

Cheers Roy, Even with my limited experience, common sense was telling me what you guys were going to say, but its nice to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak Thanks again, Ill investigate a set of varying sized inserts, and measure many times and drill once.

Mate, one thing I know is there is always someone that knows more than I do, and the art is to learn off them. From my early DIY efforts, when I had little money to make mistakes, I developed a strong 'measure twice, cut once' mindset, this in turn has led to a 'cut a little bit off and...

South London, Croydon is probably the nearest 'known' name

Hello all, after a bit of advice on router bits. Hope this is the correct forum section, couldn't see one dedicated to routers etc Anyway, I've had need to rebuild a step on my Daughters stairs and need to bullnose said step. It's approx 33mm in thickness and after a quick Google, I 'think' I...

Cheers mate, you might regret that when the questions start ! :)
