As promised I found the cheapest router i could and i have tested it so come see if you are getting a tool worth the space in you box Help support my channel or just buy me a pint to say thanks www.paypal.com/paypalme/David...
I bought one from Amazon, just arrived. I tried reading the instructions but I tend to learn better by watching so I saw your channel.I'm not a wood worker nor carpenter by any means but after watching I have a better idea, thanks much. I bought it to save time setting in hinges . I figured it was worth the money.
I have one like this different color. Main switch at the top, no trust, all the time i remove it the plug, with inaccuracy fence as you demo in video, trying to improve, and a box of router bits 6mm 35 euros i buy it a year ago. Ok i manage it! Thanks for your video.
And if you take it apart you will find the metal casing is not earthed and its 50/50 if its switched on the live or neutral. I have four of them set up in custom jigs. I have rewired all of them. Good value if you have the skills to make them safe, and if you don't, but something better.
Thank you. Just got a 110 model just like this one. I had almost the exact same problem with the edge and roller guides and the attachment screw. The screw I got to attach them is almost 1/2 inch too long to hold the guides. I'll work on a solution and probably keep the router.
Same with mine Dan, but also it was too tight to screw in by hand. I ran a tap through it to cut better threads and ground it a bit shorter and it's brilliant now.
They have an even cheaper version now, it's 15 quid. They fixed the bolt issues and even include a decent flush bit! They did however do away with the metal housing, it's all plastic now.
I randomly bought this trimmer last week. It came with no instructions or pictures of how all the parts are supposed to work lol just warnings not to use it in the bathtub. Still don't know how to use them after this but a good video anywaus
I am desperately trying to find a video or something on making a display for my gemstone eggs and spheres. I want to make various size crescent cuts in wood slices that will hold the gems. My eggs are all different sizes. I have an idea of what I want and bought an inexpensive router and Baihens 1/4 Inch Shank Cove Box Router Bit Set Solid Double Flute Nose Bits. Help?
Can you review some cheap router bits please... I use the lidl ones and for 15 euro for 12 bits is great value.. I have the katsu trim router fantastic value for 25 quid
Hi david im new to your channel im going to be making some bee hives out of wbp plywood that will need so groves cutting out and doing rabbit joints do you think this machine is up to the job thanks oh also ive hit your grey bell
Hi Roy first thank you for your support. If you had a very good cutter bit and you really take your time yes it might but for what you are wzntingbto do I would have thought a couple of passes on the saw table would be quicker, or powersaw and straightedge
@dmgladden David, please let me apologise because not for one second did I think that you hadn't cut the power off. I was just in one of those moments in time when I had nothing to say, do, or think about other than what I was watching on the TV. I was contemplating making both a planer thicknesser and a router/milling jig so that I could, in some way permanently attach to my bench-saw table. Why don't you play around with the idea as it would save time and space. I've got an idea of what I am looking for but I haven't got a clue how to turn an idea into a practical workshop-friendly machine 😅. I enjoyed the video but I think I'd rather spend a few quid more than trying to make the parts stay where they should be. 😂👍
Hi Paul I've never had my hands on that one but in was told this is a copy of the Makita but I have Makita ones and it's got a lot of differences, but that's for the info
I just got a dewinner that's an exact clone of the Makita. Even has the aluminum base for 50$. So far seems really nice. Haven't used it hard yet but has lots of power and the motor sounds really smooth. I mainly just need one for cove moulding and a round over bit so it should be fine for that
Hi and thanks for the comment and yes your right its always best to be safe as foor me i use this tools at work in some of the most difficult places i guess i get a sense for the danger and to be honest i find routers to be a tame tool
Con respeto te proteges de los ojos y oídos . Y eso asen todos .pero nunca se protegen de los pulmones .hoy en día todo material tiene tanto químico malo para nuestra salud
@evergladescreations9641, yes I had the same problem but I was able to correct it by taking the router motor out of the plastic holder and wrapping the motor with a layer or two of black wide Gorilla tape and that make the router fit snuggly in the plastic holder, also you could also prevent from moving by using a large hose clamp, hope this, although this was a year ago you probably found a solution.
