The pics dont show any “running boards” for the sides. My latest cut files included those. My earliest ones may have. I see you have the little chamfered bits that help support them. Do you have those boards in mind that the LowRider wheels will actually ride on?

Hi Doug, I did see those running boards in the file when I was researching but I was more keen on having them as 1 piece so I used structural flooring boards that come in 3600mm x 800mm here. So the running boards are 1 continual piece and I have been using them since from the start. The side boards have been cut and are just waiting in the wings. Once the torsion box is built i will need to reposition the tube and Y Belts.

Thanks for the comments people! Git a bit distracted with painting today. Also got the LR3 all squared up. Looking to get the trim router mounted and the Level the Z and then will surface finish the MDF Spoil board ready for projects.

That looks nice!

Cheers! Got the dust extraction ready, just a little bit added to the dust shoe. Wont be 100% but will help a little with the initaial passes.


Will be picking up a new router today hopefully. Upgradinging from the Matika M3700B to the RT0700CX. Will be using the M3700B for another project.

Now I feel like I mistreat my tools, none are packed up like that…ever.

Most of my Dewalt tools came with a case, not that the tools are in the case much, but now they don’t even offer the case on most anymore.

This picture however, made me feel like I got ripped off, my Makita only came in a cardboard box. Ha

Thats just new in the box Ryan, it wont stay that way :laughing:


My first did, there was also the option to get a kit with the pluge adapter but that was another $150AUD on top. $300AUD for the new one. The case wont get much use. None of the dewalt stuff is in its cases either :laughing:

My case is neatly filled with all the bits needed, including the original lead, to turn it back into a router in the unlikely event that it is replaced with say, a lightweight spindle :face_with_peeking_eye: at some time in the future.

Some things that are used infrequently - 1000 w hammer drill, framing nailer, air stapler, reciprocal saw, stay in their boxes - get cleaned and oiled and checked before packing them away so they are ready for use next time in a year or two.
