Thread: do you recognise this tool

Ian only thing I can come up with is from the old Bug Catcher kits when we were kids it was used for trapping then sliding a cardboard piece under to drop it into the jar.

Other than that a scoop

I was thinking some sort of mould?

Not sure what it was, but it could become an overhead floating guard on a router table being used as a shaper table.

thats exactly what it is Mick, i had the exact same one on a shaper/router i bought ,the post is up the wrong way ,also the brand was delta.........bob

Agreed with Mic and Robyn, That looks like a bit guard for a router table to me too.

Thanks Mick and Robyn and Pete

that would make sense. Dad has a Delta router/shaper.
I'll look through his stuff -- he should still have the instructions. If not I'll be back with another question

I thought it was a router bit guard but couldn't see how it would mount on either the Delta shaper or his makita router. I suspect there's another part to the guard that I'm yet to find or identify.


BTW
I know opinions on the Delta router-shaper are mixed.
the depth adjustment can be finicky, but once adjusted dad and I found it preferable to a table mounted router

OK if that is a router gaurd, how dose it work????
