10 min hack #6

Picked up YABR (yet another bloody router) new for $50. I got this as I completely screwed the plunge feature of my plunge router that lives permantly in the router table and my other router is a trim router. This seams to be a great little router and does everything a $200 router does. This one major failure is the router will not sit inverted due to a round top. The manual recommends changing bits while it's on its side, however the manual doesn't say that the removable collet adaptor is spring loaded and will fly accross the room is you do that! It's also much easier to set the depth when it's inverted. So 4 m4 bolts hot glued into the top of the router and into some plywood and problem solved! Hot glue was chosen as wilth a little heat it can be removed should the brushes ever need changing. 

Till next time
