I bought a used HF lathe a couple of months ago and it didn't have all the pieces I needed to work with it. I got a couple of them, but somewhere along the way I realized that I just don't have the drive to turn.
I listed the lathe for sale thinking I would build a planer bench on wheels so that my workbench wouldn't be so crowded. This morning a Craigslist ad delayed the bench plan slightly [I will still be building it next weekend].
I found an Incra Jig Ultra router fence for sale in Terrell and I couldn't resist. I've been wanting one of these for awhile. So I called the guy and asked him if he'd consider a trade....he said yes and so now I own the jig and 10 router bits to use with it.
I will have to extend my router table extension to carry the jig's mounting base, but that's easy. The hard part will be learning this new fence system. I am very excited to get this new toy for the router table. Pics will follow when I get it mounted on the table the first time.
