assuming a home made router lift is a jig I hope i'm in the right place!
to make the above I need to put a thread in a hole - which is already very conveniently in the right place for it in the router
if the hole is 8mm (which it is) what size tap would I need to make the smallest threaded hole available? does that make sense?
I don't want to make the hole any bigger (apart from what I have to remove to cut the thread of course).
the hole is the hole that the depth stop slides up and down in - in case you wondered - and made of alloy - so easy to cut. and I don't mind voiding my warranty as the router cost a fiver at a boot sale on Sunday.
had a look at some charts on a techy web site that suggested an 8.5mm hole would enable an M10 thread - sound about right?
as ever thanks for any help
Pete
