I had a bad workshop day to day (fortunately at work so not my wallet)
First off we dropped a large slab of oak on my phenolic router plate and broke it in half -
then after a short trip to axminster to get a aluminium replacement (they only do phenolic in 10mm now) i very carefully transfered the holes from the old to the new and drilled and counter sunk them
Then retired for coffee feeling well pleased
On my return with a steaming hot beveredge I went to attach the plate to the router and discovered I'd counter sunk the wrong side
counter sinking the other side as well would have made the holes too big so i ellected to fit it upside down
after carefully attaching it to the router i then discovered that because it is upside down the hole for the height adjuster (trend T11) is now on the wrong side
"well gosh" I said "that is most vexing" (or something like that)
took the plate off again and then with a minimum of care marked the position for the height adjuster
drilled the hole - nope only half in the right place - filed the hole much bigger, yay it fits
reffitted two of the bolts, dropped the third one on the floor and kicked it under the (fixed ) work bench.
"well I say , this is going simply swimmingly" I declared (again not entirely accurate reporting here)
remembering that the nice men at trend provide a spare for such eventuallities I fished it out and attached it.
Well hurrah for routery goodness - put the plate back in the table , plugged the router into the NVR and the NVR into the mains
Yay lets get on with the job (13 bridge deck board to groove)
umm no - the NVR doesnt want to work unless you press the start button and hold it in for 5 secs ... hmm , too late to go back to axminster now... lets leave that for another day
Time for
