hmmmmm, that is EXACTLY what I was making from $8 worth of plywood yesterday when I was still able to venture more than 10 paces from the bathroom?Quote:

One thing however that I will not get with a homemade plywood jig is the weight that die cast or CNC machined phenolic would give and WEIGHT is a great advantage when machining across grain!
Re Crowie's "extra outhouse", it would certainly have been a benefit when I just got out of bed and down to the shed to take this pic :C
Im feeling for you Chris!
Timbecon are offering a deal on lock mitre bits and the infinity gauge. Are they a worthwhile addition to my burgeoning router bit collection?
If you are going to make boxes and timber casework then the lock mitre router bit gives beautifully crisp corners and is much easier to assemble than mitres with keys, splines, biscuits or even dominos. If you are going to use a lock mitre router bit then the Infinity set up gauge is indispensable.Quote:

I have the Carbitool Mitre lock bit, as shown on page 31 of the enviro catalogue:
CARB-I-TOOL - Router Bit and Accessories Catalogue - NOVEMBER 2015
Will the Infinity jig work with that? I presume that it will......

We'll see how I go tomorrow - just bought a new Weber, picked up 40kgs of charcoal from Mt Druitt, 10kgs of chicken from Wollies, ready for a big session (and then freezing).
