I would add, consider whether you have a target market in mind or a target holiday and how much time you need to prepare your samples prior to that time. Father's Day is in June. Step back and figure your time to prepare for that market.. for example. Second, as your prototype, keep good records of material and time costs so you can fairly price your items. to your customers.

LeBoldus Sat, 08 May 2010 21:58:02 +0000 http://www.routerworkshop.net/?p=1500#comment-767 I would like to sign up for the video workshop series. What constrains me is just how do I retain the material so that I can access it at my leisurely pace of utilizing it? Currently I have very little time that I can devote to woodworking and this will be so for the foreseeable future. Leon, You can watch each of the videos as many times as you want. There are no restrictions on when you can view a released video. The system releases 4 new videos per month and the cost per month is $4.00. That is $1.00 per video Hope this has been helpful, Rick I would like to sign up for the video workshop series.

Leon,

Inside the plunge tubes in addition to the springs were brass tubes. One came out with the spring which was fine with me. The one in the other plunge tunnel refuses to come out. I have tried to remove it with a pair of surgical tweezers and it wont budge. Unfortunately it wobbles about its rolled bottom edge and leaving the top edge of the tube leaning against the side wall of the plunge tubel making it impossible to completely lower the plunge base. I have spent four hours without success trying to either remove the tube or align it so the base can go all the way down. The DeWalt service center was of no help. HELP!!! john stark Not sure what to say, the old Dewalt routers come apart like a charm with no hassles. This doesn't sound good if their support team is as non responsive as you say. I guess they don't want to sell you a router...Rick Rick, I have followed your advice on how to remove the springs from my Dewalt 625 plunge router.

Not sure what to say, the old Dewalt routers come apart like a charm with no hassles. This doesn’t sound good if their support team is as non responsive as you say. I guess they don’t want to sell you a router…Rick
