Yesterday was my birthday (63) and I thought I would finally mount the smaller Triton router to my router table. Everything was going fine until I removed the short screws from the baseplate and tried to mount the router with the longer screws I bought. In my excitement of finally getting this router set up I had forgotten to flip over the table mounting plate and I countersunk the holes on the WRONG side. After mumbling and grumbling and getting a cup of coffee I broke out the J-B Weld inserted small dowel pieces through the holes and filled the countersunk holes with J-B Weld. After letting it cure for about 4 hours I was able to use a sharp chisel and cabinet scraper to flatten the repair. Then I re drilled the holes through the dowels and flipped the plate over and countersunk the holes on the proper side. This did the trick! The router is now mounted and works like a charm. The J-B Weld saved me $69.00 for a new table baseplate. The moral of this story is that even Old Dogs make mistakes and that a little ingenuity can sometimes save the day. -- Growing older but not up! |
