Hi Don and William.

I really appreciate the comments.

William. The table is just clamped in the jaws of the workmate. There are two blocks underneath onto which it clamps (you can see this in the next photo). In fact there is remarkably little vibration and the setup is very stable. I think it is helped by the fact that, as you say, the router is a big chap and also the 1" ply has quite a bit of weight to it.

All the best.

That is a cool set-up. Do you have the jig clamped to the table or screwed down? That looks like a big honkin' router.

Thank you John, it all makes perfect sense!

Hi Don.

The bearing doesn't get anywhere near. Because the router bit has a larger diameter than I want on the neck I don't take it all the way in and instead finish off with a plane. The fence is quite a bit bigger than the bearing. Hope it all makes sense.

All the best.

John
