Hi Doug,
It looks lovely. You’ll have more pleasure using it knowing that YOU made it.
There are some nice home-made examples, like yours, all individual one-of-a-kind.
No-one is forging a cottage industry to fill this gap in the market. I guess it’s a labour of love.
You’ve reinforced my view these so-called “bells & whistles” were an unnecessary gimmick.
No-one incorporates a Depth-gauge, Bridge, Shoe, Graticules… in home-made Routers, and I doubt you’d consider a silly 1″ Fence with Lateral Grooves cut into the smooth sole?
I’ve never needed a fence this far. The threaded rod gives me a pretty precise depth adjustment.
