Aldi have got their 3rd release of the Ferrex palm trim router currently for sale. A great tool and this is the 3rd one Ive purschased, the 1st is still going strong and these are formidable little machines are capable of good work and a useful often used addition to the workshop.

There is very little difference in this router from the previous model, power and wattage remains the same, lead length is the same, accessories are the same and the only real difference is a colour change in the body and the switch. Price seems to have gone up to £34.95 which isnt too expensive for what it is and the use you ll get out of it. Keep your eyes out for them getting reduced if theres stock left at your nearest store.

Included in the accesories is the bush guide and by removing the 4 screws in the base it slots in simply and securely. Using the bush guide with a pattern or template or even clamped edges we can do repeated accurate cuts time and time again and even make slotted cuts and sections in trays, mobile phone holders, bath boards etc.

There are many ways to make a template, from jigsaws, scroll saws, laser cutters. Doing it with none of that though you can use clamps and bits of wood for flats/straights/ Curves a bit more tricky, lids I use, jam jar lids, plates, pre existing curves. You can move it all around and create a template. Once youve got yourself a template its then quite easy to move and slide that about to make more templates.
Drop me a comment if youd like to see a video covering making some templates.
Thanks for watching, Bongo.
