[Doug Shepard]

Just in case anyone's been sitting on the fence (no pun intended) about buying anything from Microfence, I got an email today I though I'd pass along.

Thanks for the tip, Doug...I've been meaning to order an adapter for my Festool router(s) for some time now. 'Guess it should be soon!

[Chris Rosenberger]

Thanks Doug.:rolleyes:
You must have caused a mad rush to Micro Fence because there web site is now down.:(

[Jamie Buxton]

Yikes. So that $529 plunge base for a router is going to become even more expensive? (And that doesn't include the router itself!)

As the joke's punch line goes... "Yeah, but at that price, I only need to find one customer"...:(

[Doug Shepard]

Dang. I had no intention of actually buying anything else when I posted this. But I just visited their site and see they have some new accesories that look pretty good. The Stop-Clamp kit looks like a nice add-on for the edge-guide. Been using Quik-Grip clamps to accomplish the same thing but they're sometimes in the way. And the Off-Fence Mortising Kit is another new one that looks like it would be nice to have. That's a tougher one though. There's a Woodrat still in the box waiting for me to finish up some other projects. Not sure if I'd still need to use the MF occasionally for mortising with the Rat around. Hmmm. I have 10 days to think about this.

[Brad Townsend]

Yeah, like I could afford any of it, even at the old prices.:rolleyes:

Jim,

What do they make for Festool routers?

Probably wouldn't need it unless you're morticing big stuff that's tough to attach firmly to the rat carriage with the mortice rail.
