What is the maximum router bit shank size you can use with this setup?

I did this with my Bosch router and bored a hole through the base, I got a M6 x 1mm thread hex headed stainless steel 140mm long bolt from Ebay, it worked fine even with the springs in it and I made...

It's been great just reading all the ins and outs along the way, you have left absolutely nothing out, I wouldn't have the patience nor the skills to complete such a task, now off to work and enjoy...

I use one of these, see my comments as Joe Blow, I had to buy two left handed nuts to secure the crank I made, I glued two wooden supports on the top so as not to block the air flow, the scissor lift...

I agree Bob, the 500 watt drill doesn't draw much current and not being on for long the heat sink on Triac doesn't even get hot. Something I tested before putting it into the case. I notice they have...

I know this is an old thread but wanted to share this and not start a new one.

I have my dads AEG 500 watt hammer drill in a Record Power drill press, it's one of the older blue ones with the...

You mean there supposed to by kids toys, I heard on 3aw that adults are going crazy over these things, some sell on Ebay for $30.00 each?

Great job of those shelves and good that the kids are...

You beat me too it, they are sometimes called flush trim bits that have the bearing at the top not the bottom. I have one and they work well, remember though the longer the cutting edges the deeper...

Like those but with say a 3 hp motor, speeds from 12,000 to 22,000rpm, cast iron table, precised fence and lift adjustments etc. The Scheppach is rubbish...

I think most would like a spindle moulder but wouldn't have the use for it, it's a shame they don't make a dedicated table with a motor like a spindle moulder but that takes router bits, those ones...

That's the only exercise I get, but seriously that little scissor lift is a marvel and doesn't require any mods to the router, I made a crank handle for the above table screw one I had on the other...

I agree, although I went a bit overboard on the lift using one of those cheap aluminum scissor lifts from Ebay, I took that little knob off and put a 2 1/2" long piece of flat steel with a knob at...

Thanks for the replies, I went and tried it with different drill bits and drilled about a dozen holes in a piece of 2 x 2 pine with some 1/4" and 5/16" twist drill bits and a 1/2" spade bit, and...

There seems to have been a new disease breakout in the last decade, it's the dreaded Cordless Drill ChuckWobbleItis, my old B & D cordless drill I picked up cheap from Walmart while living in the...

You can never have too much accuracy if you ask me. I can't wait till you finish it, and hope you will post a video demo for us to drool over.

That's pretty impressive accuracy, less than 1/2 a thousands of an inch, takes woodworking to a whole new level.

It's not only that things can be made cheaper in China, it's the fact that we got tired of the "Australia Tax" where everything for some strange reason cost a lot more than what they sell for...

Was at Timbecon today, spent a whole $20.00. I love my Absolute Origin Vernier Caliper but I don't think Timbecon sell that model.

You're not being smart, I spent a whopping total of $275.00 for my new router and DIY router table, others spend thousands.

My dad went and bought a Kriesler stereogram, he went to one store got a price, went to Major Eight and they said they could beat that price easily, they filled out a form that said they were selling...

I was telling my son I remember there were many different electrical stores nearby when I was growing up, Major Eight, H.G. Palmers, Muirs, Webb Radio, Brashs etc. There was competition and we bought...

And people are complaining about Australia, sounds like you have a bunch of dictators running the service.

Aliexpress does add GST at the payment screen, there is a "?" and when you hover over it:

438667

How and when did Aliexpress apply the GST, because as I posted it's not added when you commit to buy, is it added afterwards and what do they call it?

438650

I just went on Aliexpress and put two items in my cart, I am registered on there and shipping says to Australia and it doesn't show any payment for GST, unless it does it when you commit to buy but I...

I have this winder thingy I made from a knob and some scrap metal. It's a huge step up from using hay band and fencing wire. :D

But seriously, this would have to be the bestest router table build...

Just goes to show what a ripoff Amazon Australia is. And it turned out a little cheaper getting it shipped from the U.S., they are a great calipers.

I agree entirely.

Recently I bought an Igaging Absolute Vernier Caliper from Amazon in the U.S. it cost me about $63.00 aud including shipping and import fees, I looked at it on the Amazon...

Because the govt needs to collect huge amounts of revenue so they can run the country, spend it on services and then waste the rest. :D

Its going to be a nuisance for them with all the millions of small packages coming in from China if you ask me, my wife sometimes gets three or four at a time of things worth less than $10.00, I...

So it now depends on whether they charge GST on the order value or the declared value, this will be interesting.

Thanks for posting that, as I said previously I have sold the 8mm shank bits and only buy 1/2" shank bits now.

I recently bought some router bits from AliExpress, the order value was $48.00, but the declaration on the parcel said the value was $3.00 and there was no invoice inside. So does this mean if I...

I looked at this one on Ebay and my only concern is the size of the hole in it, appears to me to be around 38mm max, that's fine if you don't intend to use bits that are this size or bigger, but if...

I agree, I worked in a sheltered workshop and we only had a ten inch planer/thicknesser and when we joined boards together for a desktop or coffee table etc we would take it to a cabinet maker...

The Muscle Chuck won't fit 8mm shank bits?

People on Amazon said the Bosch collet works with the Hitachi and Ryobi, just wondered if it would work with the Makita, but like I said in my previous...

I see on Ebay and Amazon UK that GMC are selling routers, they have an 1800watt variable speed one and a 710watt trimmer as well as other tools,

I thought they...

Well I solved my own problem, I sold the 8mm shank bits to a nice chap who has a Festool 8mm router, he was very happy with them and I have ordered the same bits with 1/2" shanks.

Someone on here I think suggested soaking them in a 50/50 mixture of liquid clothes washing detergent and water. I tried it on my router bits and it worked a treat, if any super stubborn stuff is...

This isn't a router table it's a work of art, it gives me an "I am not worthy" moment.

SOLD

And got to meet someone from Woodwork Forums which was good.

They don't make an 8mm collet for the Makita like they do the Bosch, and I have a reducer but being an obsessive compulsive type I want to go to 1/2" shank bits now. :)

I bought these bits to use in my Bosch POF 1200 router, but have taken it out of the table and moved up to a Makita 3600 1/2" router with a lot more power, used once to machine the top of a jewelry...

We had a Dewalt RAS where I worked and someone tried it for ripping some plywood and of course the piece was grabbed by the blade and came right back at the user, it was then never used for ripping...

I have an Arden bit on the way so I will let you know, but after the success of the industrial grade Huhao bits, never used bits as sharp as ind grade Huhao, Arden are from all accounts even better,...

That's a great idea, I will have to look into those too.

Exactly, my Bosch POF 1200 came with a 6mm, 1/4" and an 8mm collet, I bought the 8mm shank bits because I wanted some 30mm diameter bits and they would be stronger in the shaft than 1/4", it's only...

Finally picked up a 12.7mm to 8mm reducer and it works fine, I make sure I tighten it up, no vibration or runout that I can detect.

I actually messaged a guy that bought one of these and he said it vibrated so you are quite right, they are not balanced. I kinda wish they made routers now with the ER20 collets, it would make...
