You can use it to decorate the edge of a pen stand for a start with an ogee or just to cut a 45% angle around the edge make a pen display cabinet and decorate the edges of the lid I had a large router table up till we down sized they are a very handy and versatile tool to decorate, cut rebates even by making a box to go over bed bar above center height and cut flutes in a spindle or flats on a pen to make it a nut shape to go on some kits that should be enough to keep you going for a while

Thanks Woody, you have given me some good reasons why i need to get this machine set up ... :thumbs:

Maybe the reason i haven't yet used it is due to the space i have in the shed, once i get items out of the shed i will definitely have this set up. :nooidea:

Jim, I can help with your space problem. Get the Radial Arm ready for me and I'll take the router and router table at the same time. Hey Presto! Loads of space ...
