Cheap Overhead Routing

[Newbie_Neil]

Hi all

I bought a heavy duty drill stand this week and instead of putting a drill in, I fitted a Trend T3 router.

It works perfectly. Set up was very quick and there is enough adjustment to lock the router into place. A cheap overhead routing capability.

The stand is the Faithfull heavy duty one that cost about 33 inc. vat.

Cheers
Neil

Are you going to build a table and fence around it ?

Hi JFC

Are you going to build a table and fence around it ?

I already have an X/Y vice which I intend to use with it.

Sounds ideal for routing out stop rebates , do you have pics ?

Anyone with the triton workcentre can do the same operation if they get the plate to carry a router . Used mine once for stopped dadoes on some bookcases I made three years ago.

not for a total outlay of £33 (+router) though :roll:

For those who don't have the Trend focus on power tools leaflet, the T3 is on offer at £26.50 inc VAT. One of :tool:s on my to buy list for Tools 2005.

Hi Dave

...the T3 is on offer at £26.50 inc VAT.

If you'd only made it to Stoneleigh it was 25 inc vat. :wink:
