For the benefit of the forum moderator this response is not a sales email, it is just a case of telling people that Micro Fence & Wood Workers Workshop do take on board comments that get posted here. Thanks for all the compliments and the "it costs to much comments" regarding the Micro Fence...

Jason Crack this and you can give up working! Write the definitive book on the subject and get rich! My approach on a project like this would be look at material cost and include in your costings the cost of funding of the purchase if it is a project where you do not get paid straight away. Add...

First of all please mayI correct the terminology being used. 3/4" x 3/8" is the standard US miter or mitre track dimensions. "T" Track is different in that it is designed to take a standard 1/4 Bolt head in the USA, from memory the head on a 6 mm threaded bolt will also work, it is late at...

The new Legacy REVO came following the visit of Andy Anderson, who designs the Legacy machines and owns Phantom Engineering the manufacturer's of the Legacy, last year when he was demonstrating the Legacy Model 1200 at the Stoneleigh show adjacent to Coventry. People would flock to watch the...

I will be up front here as I have a vested interest as I import the Legacy into the UK! It is not a good idea to compare the Legacy with the "Rat" because their capabilities are very different and in my time I have owned a Rat but no longer do. The Rat is good for dovetails and milling joints...

Come back Waka all is forgiven!

9fingers, If you want an explanation of the locking mechanism it is very simple. An Allen wrench is supplied that locks a sprocket on the chain that runs around underneath the router plate. When you turn the handle this chain drives both of the lift screws plus an idler cog and the lock cog...

Couple of points, Jake is obviously a fit young man but he will find, over time, that getting down on your hands knees to change bits and adjust things gets harder as you get older. To Roger I can but recommend the XX, yes I know I sell them but it is a great product for a quick change. If he...

Well I guess Jake you need to try an Xtreme Xtension, time to buy one as a belated father's day present and have a play. Talk about margin, I have no problem with that. I would make less on a Triton in straight margin terms but you need to look at the bottom line margin to get the real...

I think I am correct that you will loose some plunge depth with all router lifts, I just believe in telling it how it is. As to the Triton well I would not go that route and I sell them when people want them. I had a Triton router but got rid of it, the plunge is ok, the rack and pinion is OK...

Sorry, one turn per 1/32 nd. You can fit other routers provided their base does not exceed 7" as we do stock blank router mounting plates.

The UniLift travels 3.75" or 120 1/32 nds, so it is up to you to decide how fast you turn the handle. A time saver is to use an Xtreme Xtension, remember you loose about 9/16s of plunge depth with a UniLift so this gives you back that plus another 11/16s together with the QUICK RELEASE...

You may want to ask them if their electrician is approved as my understanding is that since early 2005 all work electrical work carried out has to be signed off by a certified electrician. Thank you Brussels and all the bureaucrats. I know the prime idea behind this was safety but...

Couple of points on the Woodpecker Unilift. Maximum diameter of router base should not exceed 7" or 178 mm, and no the big B&Q will not fit! The UniLift I sell in the UK is the 1/32 " per revolution or 0.8 mm or 0.7938 mm to be metal working precise model. I decided that rather than stock the...

The model at Costco does not have an electronic brake or speed control. You can buy it from any Festool reseller, as I am in the process of adding their products to those I already sell I contacted my Festool sales person to better understand the differences. The Costco price is no sweet deal...

Can some one explain to me why a large number of people seem to spend more time looking for "the cheapest price for this, that and the other" at the apparent expense of ignoring the important issues such as is the product suitable, reliable etc. It seems to be a recurring theme. By all means...

I cannot disagree with Jake's comment BUT as someone who has been in business for himself since 1978 I have yet to meet another Dyson. The vast majority of my contacts in the American semiconductor, computer, software and wood working businesses have had the protection but not pockets deep...

I just saw Tombo's comments about you would have thought that Elu, Dewalt et al would have patented their design to stop others copying. Interesting comment, when Elu introduced the original plunge router they did patent it, but I dare say that patent ran out. Then Black & Decker aquired Elu...

Like Nick the Jetman I have heard good reports on Thames Valley out of Oxford, another company possibly but slightly further afield is CRM in Waterlooville, Hants or try Wokingham Tools in Reading 0118 9661511. Alternatively buy a sharpening system www.woodartistry.com

I was in Atlanta Georgia, for the big wood working show last year, and had the opportunity to see the EZ Smart System and was suitably impressed. Subsequently I have spent time and my own money to import the product for resale here. That is in the process of happening and we should be able to...
