Any idea what I might use one for ?

I got a makita next to new one from ebay for 200 bucks , havent used it once since i got it , one day i will though

I bought my router from Bunnings for around $60 and it has a 3 year replacement warranty

I wouldn't mind getting a router table as well but I can't justify it at the moment...

in the mean time i'm using it to adjust my beehive supers.. it'll save me around $300 a box..

If you are doing any amount of work, I'd suggest that you get a second router when you get your router table.

I found it to be a pain in the arse removing the machine from the table every time I wanted to free-hand.

Aldi had a Workzone router, not long back.
Router was half the price of a comparable Ryobi, so I got the lot.
Router, table and bits.
I now have a spare table.
Not real sure of the quality of the bits, but they are doing the job.

aldi has had some good gear over the years..

I did all of my routering table work first up.. from then on in its all been freehand..

the outer edges of draws and doors and also have been cutting the centres out of the cupboard doors to router out and put in panelling..

that craft wood has been something else... a fine saw dust everywhere throughout my garage..

I already have heaps of tools but no place to use them.
I am thinking of putting a work bench in my garage & turning it into a workshop.
That means no more garaged car - but maybe it's worth it?

I have a large back room but I don't like all of the dust that gets in there while working with wood...

I'm thinking of getting a workshop bench/trolley that has wheels to work in the garage but then wheel the workshop table back out again into the back room to get the cars back into the garage...

or something like that..

I can't do that - there are a few stairs at the front & back door.

Thing is - very real man needs a workshop with a large bench and vice.

Build yourself a carport at the front of the garage.
If you put it hard up against the front and flash the gap between garage and carport, you can sheet in the sides and install doors on it at a later date.

No - I will just park the car outside & turn the garage into a storage & workshop area.

To the best of my knowledge.

Got it free and just did enough to keep rego up, but now have a good mechanic who has really done some work on it.

He has one of his own...Likes working on them.

A bottle of Scotch, at Christmas, keeps me in the good books and rates the odd quick fix, or adjustment.
