Hi,
Not only am I new to the forum, but also woodworking. However in my wisdom, I decided to make some tool boxes for all my other tools. I have lots of sockets, ratchets, extensions, files spanners , taps, dies, drills, etc.etc.. I decided to do this by recessing shaped holes in a board and then fitting a box around it. I decided that the easiest way to do this was with a router. While shopping in Lidl, I saw they had a router for sale for £30 so bought it. Got it home and checked it out. It didn't seem to be a bad bit of kit. I wasn't going to spend a lot on a high end unit in case things went the wrong way up. I then decided that i needed a router table. The same expense rules applying, so i bought a second hand Trend CRT Mk2 off fleabay for £50. Trend seem to have a good rep. The thing is, it only comes with a fence and extractor connection. I'd like to get a few things like featherboards and such for it, but there seems to be a distinct lack of places on the net where I can get the trend items. I realise that the table is discontinued but thoght parts would still be available. Can anybody give me advice on where to go, or can I get other items that will fit?
Cheers,
Nandesuka
