Thank you Reuel. My 35 year old dial calipers say it is 2.362 ins (60mm) so Mr Hitachi and Mr Ryobi must have been talking to each other on that day.

The centre of the mounting screws seems a...

Thanks chasps! all interesting and information that is new to me.

Cheers Electrolad

Thank you soundman, that's what I would have thought. Mine is about 1.25 mm thinner then the kerf, translating that's not much more then half the kerf width.
Thanks once again. Pat

Interseting!

Thanks Ray. Cheers Pat

G’day Folks, would an owner of a Hitachi Router kindly make a couple of measurements for me. I would like the diameter measurement of the Template guide mounting plate. Also the distance between the...

G’day Folks. Can anybody please tell me the recommended thickness of the Riving Knife on a sawbench? Should it be the same thickness as the Kerf of the blade or a little bit less. If less, by how...

Thanks to all again.

Looks like I need to duck down to Carbatec and get a few maybe 4, of those double bar clamps. I am currently using a jury rig using M6 threaded rod and wing nuts. Clamps very...

Thanks Derek and Sprog.

I'm still puzzled by the whole thing. Here is where I am at. I have two 190 x 19mm boards that I am edge joining. I have slotted them with a 4mm cutter and inserted the...

Thanks for all he feedback folks.

I went out and bought some Triton biscuits on Saturday (Bunnies is just down the road) to see how they would go. It only raised another question.

The slot is...

Yep, the Australian Wood Review (AWR) was a good read. They didn't review the "cheap" Carbatec jig but one from Timbecon of similar origins (Chinese). Interestingly AWR said, and I have not checked...

Thanks Mick, I will ckeck them all out. I don't think that I have ever seen a drawing of biscuit profiles (dimension). Would be nice to know.

Agree with vcohen, the Triton is a ripper. I have had a 1/2 inch Rybio for yonks and got sick of putting and pulling it in and out of the early (read lousy) Triton bench. I bought a Triton and about...

Another question if I may folks.

I have a 47.6mm x 4mm Slot Cutter. Is this suitable for use in a bench to cut slots for biscuits?

If so what biscuit size is suitable. I am aware that most...

Thanks again Rocker. All your much appreciated advice is perculating into the grey matter. Cheers

Thanks to all.

Sorry I missed the earlier postings.

6 Bits that work sounds like the way to go. Pretty much confirms my thoughts.

As a hobbiest I do only a small amount of woodwork. I am grappling with the problem of how much money to spend on tools especially router bits.

While I know that the CMT bits are excellent they...

Thanks Rocker very much for your helpful info.

I think you have answered all my queries except perhaps the diameter of the dovetail bit I need to use. Would a 14.3mm dia. bit be ok?

Thanks...

My first post although I have been "lurking" for some time. Since I am relatively new to woodwork I wonder if someone would help with a little advice.

Background first. I want to construct a chest...
