Interactive router bush webpage (rough work in progress)
I have a Makita trim router and a Katsu, both with the plunge bases.
I also have a set of Silverline brass bushes which I have cut down to 5mm to work with 6mm MDF templates.
I got tired of measuring objects and doing the calculations to make them fit into circular and rectangular pockets ( battery boxes , wooden cylinders ).
So I thought what if I could avoid measuring the object at all.
This page is a rough first draft of what I came up with. An interactive way to see what template / bush / bit combination will work for an object placed next to the screen.
https://www.raincloud.co.uk/router/Rout ... pha_C.html
1. Place a ruler on the computer and adjust the zoom factor until 50mm on the ruler matches 50 units on the screen ( the default template width.
2. Write down that zoom factor for future use ( its specific to your monitor )
3. Place an object near the screen and adjust the template / bit / bush settings to make it fit !
The save features etc don't work properly yet.
Should work in Chrome / Firefox but I can't speak for other browsers.
Any suggestions welcome.
