    You might find the 1/4" MDF at HD in 2'x4' pieces, that's where I got mine....it's the only place I could find it. I think a piece was $6-7.

    The easiest way is to put a sacrificial piece on it. I use 1/4" MDF, though almost anything could be used. I pin it on, being very careful to put the pins where the blade isn't likely to hit them.

    The motors I've seen that were wired for 240V and plugged into 120V would turn, but very slowly. Even so, if I didn't know how it was wired, I'd wait until I could check the wiring to the diagram....

    You probably need 3/4" holes. What i did was make a templet to locate the router fitted with a 1" bushing, then went through and cut the holes the first time with a 1/2" spiral bit. Then I changed...

    Many of those look familiar to me. They also remind me of the days when if I needed a tool, I'd pick up the Sears tool catalog and find, then go get it. Now, it's been probably 20+ years since I've...
