Post: RE: Using the Grizzly Palm Router

Thanks for the nice review. Considering getting this one.  Wish it also came with a 1/2" collet, and not crazy about the $16 shipping charge.

Post: RE: circular saw cutting guide

If you make the cutting guide, I would suggest using 1/4" hardboard. It's much lighter and works great. I made 3 of them...lengths of 8', 4' and 2'.
