I purchased this kit on Amazon Canada for a very reasonable price of ~ $55.00 CAD. I adapted it to my Bosh Mr23EVS plunge base router by adding 2 extra holes in the base plate. I made a few experimental bowls and discovered that the very small wood screw that holds the router in place was getting loose as the device was rotating and did not produce accurate circles. I solved the problem by drilling a 4mm hole in the work and using a bolt type screw of 15mm length which gave me a more secure fit and accurate circles. If Milescraft could develop a better way to secure the device other than a 1/2 " wood screw, this jig would be the best router tool on the market.
Yes. I would think a better way of doing the small one would be better. Maybe something like the big one, where the screw is down tight and the plastic acts as a pivot. Thank you for watching.
@@Boopolo If you use the same hole it cannot be anything but a flat screw, since the part that secures the router would not slide over your part. it has to be flush with the black section. I hope you understand what I mean.
@bernardmichaud1099 I understand fully. I was merely referring to how Milescraft could improve on the design. For modification, one could put a machine-threaded (M6) flat-topped screw into a threaded barrel dowel on the bottom. That way the the dowel on the bottom would be fixed tight.
Great video. Very good demo.
I am glad it was of help to you. Thanks for watching!
