Has anyone used 'no nails' to glue the brass tube into wood or acrylic ? I've drilled a few pieces and am surprised at what a sloppy fit they are. I used the supplied 7mm drill in Rutlands pen kit. Tried with pilot hole first then 7mm but still sloppy I've seen on youtube that some guys prefer...

Why does the router table top nearly always have the router central? What is your idea of what is best? I guess there is no definitive answer ? I plan to make a hinged top to make router cutter alterations easier, and have also bought a Trend Insert Plate for this project. I plan to make some...
