Popular Post Bombarde16 Posted December 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Seriously, I've had this Ryobi plunge router for fourteen years. The set screws that clamp the fence have always been a pain. Tiny Phillips head screws that get lost too easily, and the body of the router gets in the way of getting a screwdriver on them so the driver always cams out when you try to tighten. Enough is enough! While trying to make some headway on my workbench, I'm into the monster mortise phase of the project and need a reliable router fence. For the record, the set screws on this particular router base are M5-.8 threads. No way I was going to get real star knobs in that size off the shelf here, but a few hex bolts with some epoxy and scrap plywood have done the job nicely. The black spray paint is a bonus. Again, why the $^#&!@ did it take me over a decade to get this done? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Great solution . . . 13 years late? Its always good to post things that we have finally gotten around to. We all have them and folks like you who post may trigger others to move on their own "I shoulda done this sooner" items. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
