    You know, I am sure that my router spins clockwise when handheld and anti-clockwise when in a table...is the the same effect as a drain in the northern & southern hemispheres? What would happen if I took my router to the States?

    Good question, they have lower voltage power, so it would probably turn at about half speed. this would be good for people with single speed routers who want to use larger bits For the price of a new variable speed router they could probably fly to hawaii, do the job and fly back

    Not silly enough. It hasn't even moved the needle on the Sillometer. Please try again.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    If you take it to the northern hemisphere it would work the opposite way, something to do with being closer to the north pole.

    But what happens if you put it in a horizontal table jig, does it spin sideways only or does it spin sideways and then up and down. :confused:

    If you had a jointer at the North pole, could you use magnets to align the blades ?
    Or don't magnets work there :confused:

    if we took our routers to the northern hemisphere, would we need to turn our sturdee cyclone buckets upside down so they still remove sawdust instead of spitting it back at us

    The neighbours from 4 lots in every direction complain when I fire up my toys at this time of night.

    Hmmm... I wonder... if I fire up my new dusty as well as the triton I wonder if I can make it 5? I might try for a new record later tonight.

    It's not me they complain to. Every minute their convo on the doorstep lasts I pay for with an hours' suffering. [sigh]

    Ele, wrong question: "wat r u guys going to think of next?" It's when we don't think that we come up with new things to talk about...
