First Scratch build.

I heard that DB nicked the router from the naughty room. So I picked one up while I was out and about this morn.
Apparently it does everything, even Wi-Fi.

COOL! lol

looks like it could mix drinks too...

nice one :)

I've had a play with the beast since. What a machine!

Being a cabinetmaker, I've used plenty of routers. I have to say this Triton blows all others away that I've tried, many that are close to triple the price point of the triton.

This ones the 2400w model, I picked it up from Mitre 10 mega for a steal at $330. Most places retail around $450. So when the salesman told me what his best price was I had to ask twice.

It's got a super smooth start up and a revolutionary rack and pinion plunge system, that feels kind of odd when you first use it. But once you get the feel for the wrist action required to use the new plunge system it is extemly functional and accurate.
Plus it can still function like a standard plunge system with the press of a button.

On top of all that it's also got some neat features for use in a router table. But I won't go into that now.

Now I've talked it up, I hope it doesn't pack it in in 6 months time.

Back to make some dust then.

BTW. Can any one recommend somewhere I might find a 1/2in. X 2in top and bottom bearing flush trim bit.

I'm assuming this all means something to you woodworking types :?

Carbi bit in Melbourne, or all-tools.

I had a heart stopping moment yesterday. I hung the body from the roller door to get a shot of the finish in the sunlight. I got an amazing shot of the body glowing in the light. I looked down to check the picture and I see it out of the corner of my eye and hear a sound that's like fresh leather off willow. :x

The body I had ready to Polish was laying on the concrete in front of me. I didn't want to look. As I start to inspect the situation I'm totally bemused that there doesn't seem the be any damage, at all. :o

Checking it in the light I do find a mark. The body had fallen straight down and landed flat on the bottom edge. While it had no scratches or dents and no sign of any cracks, it had just compressed the fibres at the point of impact.
I used a nasty wipe on poly finish I had, mainly for its durability. Well it certainly passed the drop test. And the Cedar held up strong.

I still can't believe I got away with this one, but there's a lesson to be learnt somewhere in there.

So, on with the neck.

I needed some fret dots, so I drilled some out of a chunk of mahogany with a 6mm plug cutter. Then ran it trough a saw to release the dots.
