Router,best woodwork tool since sliced bread its the bees knees of

Good quality accessories make life easier. The very flimsy fences
supplied with cheap routers don't make life easy as they're too
flexible. I'm still using the fence of my old Elu 'cos it fits my
other cheaper router.

Speed control is good, too. Some bits are just too large to work well
at very high speeds. I've a finger jointer which is much easier to
use at low speeds. Quieter, too!


Now that I know how this *dovetail jig* works and it dimentions and
clampwork,I can now make a wider one in wood,got a couple of sheets of
1/16th alluminium plates to make the finger plates.

And sell the one I bought for 20GBP on ebay. ;-)
