/2 router bits. i plan to Oak Panel 3 flights of stairwell in my house and need to do as professional job as i can seeing its the house. The thing that put me off the table router was the fact that none have built in hieght adjustments, Raisers !! what an after thought i think, most look less than sturdy etc and one seems to be always under the table for adjustments etc. the spindle moulder in my mind is a dedicated machine built to shape , cut raised panels etc by design . the machine i bought has heavy cast table and the same for the sliding table. Plus with the adaptor i can use all my 1/2 in router bits. my first stab at raised panels etc put me off as it took an age lining up the hieght of the router

did i make the right choise, please comment good or bad

Snipe is a big subject and although i do get some and sometimes pretty bad its all down to how much of a bite you take. I have found if i go easy on the cut it vitually goes away i reduce the cut to just a skim as i get close to required depth and alwats use a digital caliper to get it accurate. Has anyone else got any good tips on using the equipment. can you re sharpen the blades etc and what is best way to reduce snipe.

thanks, george spain
