Huge-Small Gloat

[H.R. Shadow]

The LOML & I spent Friday & Sat. doing demos at our local Woodcraft show & sale. I had other plans for Sunday , so she went alone and when she got home she handed me an early B-day gift.
It's a new Millwaukee 3.5 hp router & a Bench Dog Aluminum plate. I installed it in the table last night & Man-O-Man, what a difference!
I had the 1.75 Milwaukee in there before and occasionally it would scream 'Not me' but, it's Big Brother just hollers 'Bring It On'.
Can't wait to get home tonite & start running stock for picture frames.

....& start running stock for picture frames.
...speaking of pictures.... ;)

So I guess Milwaukee has gotten into the BIG routers now. Sould be a nice solid router, due to the great well built tools that they already produce. Give us a holler back and let us know how it does after it is used for a while.:)

BTW. Looks like the PIC PATROL:eek: has caught up with you. Gotta watch out for Chris and Tyler, our official pic police around here.:rolleyes:

Steve:)

H.R.,

I'm a little unclear here. Are you gloating about your new router or your wife? Both seem to be top-of-the-line to me! :)

[Christopher Pine]

HEY!! Bring on the pictures! :)

[H.R. Shadow]

awright awready! I'm at work & can't post pix. I will take some when I get home & post 'em this evening...

[Gary Max]

I ain't seeing any pics YET

[H.R. Shadow]

The minute I got home I got out HER camera & took these pix. Jeez, like you guys don't know what a router hanging upside down looks like.. :D
BTW this is the first time I've tried this so if they don't show up, I expect I'm subject to abuse, er, I mean remedial training. :eek:
Oh, & here's pix of another gloat I forgot about, the Downdrafter, (I took that home with me on Sat.)

You got it, H.R.! Looks like a router hangin' upside-down in a table! :D A mighty NICE router, I might add! :) Congrats on all: The router, insert, downdraft AND especially, LOYL! :D You got it made, man! :cool:

[Dave Brandt]

OK H.R., where did you find that impressive looking yellow thing behind your SCMS? And, does it really work? And, is it very expensive? By the way, nice pics!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Great Official Gloat, H.R.!........You'll notice I've quit fussing about pictures after Chris elected me as an official "Picture Nazi". :confused: .....An Irishman :confused: ....a Nazi....NOT! :confused: :confused: .......I was just enjoying being a "No Photo Snitch!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: By the way.....great router.....great wife!

Hey I like that Downdrafter! How much was it, Rousseau doesn't list a price on their site. Congrats on the big router!!

[Chris Padilla]

I think John Lucas on Woodshopdemos had a little ditty on that Downdrafter...might wanna check out his write-up, Kelly.

Nice pics, HR!! Looks like you need to tighten down a few of them screws, though!! :eek: ;)

[H.R. Shadow]

Chris, I looked all over John's site & couldn't find anything on the downdrafter. I remember seeing something on it (or something real similar a while back & couldn't find that either).
The unit I got (with rails) was listed @ $229 at Woodcraft. They have a new stand for it to be used for portable stands (like mine) and it's a bit less money. I wanted the rail mount as I've got the large box which surrounds my saw, so I shouldn't have too much trouble mounting the rails to the box.
I hope to have it installed this weekend, & yes, I know...Post the pix when it's done :D

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Will do Chris, thanks!

[Christopher Pine]

Well with the low literacy rate you know pictures help us folks... well nuff said. :)
I like the downdrafter! Does it work well?

[Jim Guy]

I've looked all over Woodcraft's site for a downdrafter (first time I've ever heard of one) and can not find anything. Can anyone help me find that thing?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Guy

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Jim,


I Googled Donwdrafter and got the page on it from the Rousseau Co. There's no price on it, you have to call them (and I haven't yet).
