I would have got one of those if it wasn't for buying the USAA one pre-kick starter, I think you can build spacestations with this jig ;). If you haven't seen his videos, its fascinating on manufacturing your own products, he's a wood worker/designer. https://www.ussadesign.com/products/multifunctional-trim-router-jig?variant=45563006320957&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOood9dDn4VmMT46TTApWLB27j9cwbN2L_sYjH_iZb_zuiyvCGUY3h-8&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c

Both the BenchDogs UK and TSO USA are innovating and growing their catalogs!


Obviously both companies are doing good enough to undertake expansion. Which means woodworkers are buying their (expensive) kits. There are many who appreciate the Made in GB and Made in USA, and are willing to pay for it.


For a future video, a Small Parts Holder for use on the Router Table will be a helpful hand(s).

great appraisal and demo Peter just a note on your guide bush requirement for the trend machines you have and yes the pressed steel ones are pants . I had this chap make these bases for my Elu and he now sells them , he also makes a the same thing for the Trend PRT table to take guide bushes https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=elu+plate+&_sacat=0 When you do your routing video one thing to mention would be the guide bush Collars for template work that Trend do ,, very useful when u have one template to make the cut out and the insert piece

Karl, have you a link to the PRT part?

I'd be interested in giving one a go, if nothing else it'd encourage me to clear away the pile of junk that my PRT had accumulated during a recent (unfinished) garage clear out!
