Thread: Routing with the aid of template guides

Hi Tom ,
Sorry to hear about your computer problems ,but glad to see you got on here ok.
I got as far as machining up one 40mm template guide to fit my old Makita 3600 .Then I bought a Triton MOF 001 and then made an adaptor plate to fit the TRA001 template guides to that .Then I got totally side tracked with the delivery of a metal working milling machine ,so I have been maxed out setting that up and getting it into working condition.
Im planning on a few weeks of woodwork in the near future so I hope to get back to the template guides and templates.

Kev.

Tom,

I did not get your DVD but I have used your wisdom (you answered some of my questions earler in the year) and made some templates of late to make a federation style bunk bed. I used a 19mm guide bush for the 6.3mm and 10mm mortices and eventually was able to get a 40mm bush for the 19 mm mortices. Makes work so much easier. Spiral bits are fantastic. The bushes fit both my Hitachi and Triton routers.

I did the tenons on the router table and rounded them over by hand...you probably have a better way of doing it!!!!

Regards,

Chipman

Shouldn't this be in commercial announcments forum?

Cruzi, if you look at previous posts by Tom, you will see that the main discussion/education has been around the use of template guides. The DVD has only been a side issue and I reckon there would be no need to move this to another forum. Tom was only looking for feedback from those who have obtained his DVD. I have been following the discussion and moving portion of the discussion will only result in fragmented information.

If you don't like the post don't read it.

You need to read a post before you can decide whether you "like it" or not.

My take on what Cruzi was saying (with which I agree, FWIW), was that all recent posts have been self-promoting in one way or another, therefore much more appropriate for the commercial announcements. "Seeking feedback" is another way of announcing the existence of the DVD, after all - a technique I've seen on many other forums. That may not have been the case here, but in these cynical times, who could be blamed for considering it?
