Router - home made adjustable parallel guide ?
One of the weaknesses with the cheaper routers is the basicness of the
parallel guide. I was thinking about finding a way you improve mine and was sure I would find somebody on the net who would have tackled this already and posted his design, but no such luck. Any ideas anyone ? I've got a lathe, etc. Rob |

If it's one of the Elu clones, Axminster do an adjustable side fence
for less than six quid: http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=AW635R |

What I was thinking of was making it 'micro adjustable'. I'm quite prepared on the other hand for someone to say that there is no particulat advantage. Rob |

for less than six quid: http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=AW635R Thanks - it'll be worth 6 quid to find it doesn't fit my B & Q special (inevitably) but at least I can copy it or adjust as necessary. Rob Rob, Suggest you look at this as well: http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=AW127R Not absolutely sure but I think both Axminster routers are made by the same folks who make the PP / PPPro ones. If so you might need the side fence for the bigger router. It's not lisetd on the website but would be worth an e-mail to Axminster as they seem pretty good at supplying spares. HTH, Mike |
