Hi folks,

Several years ago I built this:

Following the video from our OLF friend Chris Paulick here - https://youtu.be/9oRqUK-CMIo

When I built it I bought mostly enough stuff for two of them. I don’t know why. :D The threaded knobs, nuts and all thread are needed to have the full kit.

If anyone wants to make one of these, I’ve got the HDPE all taped and marked and most of the parts to do it. Yours for free if you pay shipping.

Brad

I made one of these and dedicated a trim router to it. A more useful bargain ain't to be had! Says me.

Missed out on this and I sure could have used it. Oh well, I'm still going to build one before the next rosette.

Trevor Gore has posted in the past about his modification to eliminate backlash from a jig of this general type. I incorporated his ideas into my own jig and with a precision aftermarket collet and bits you have a rig of almost toolroom precision for chump change. I think you can find Trevor’s posts on the ANZLF.
