This was the guy!

Unfortunately no maker's name on the jig, but I think it's easy enough. I'm hoping I can find a suitable guide bush for the router (I do have the model no for) - I did have a look online with no luck.

The router is 1850W and I have a set of new bits for cutting worktops. Cutting the bolt recesses looks straightforward enough from what I've seen on YouTube. The guy I bought this off reckoned I wouldn't need a guide bush, but I think I do! The worktop has a straight edge, so I don't need to...

I believe so. I'm just not sure how it should be used. I guess as long as the recesses are in line and the same depth, it's not rocket science. The lack of guide bush on the router is a problem though, I think. It's a half inch router.

I've acquired this jig and router. I'm only interested in how to cut the recesses under the worktop to insert bolts to join the corners - can they be done with that cross shape on the left? Also, I think my router is missing a guide bush. It's a Silverline 675059. Can I get a guide bush for...

Cheers, I've ordered the Saxton from Amazon and I will divert my attention to gardening on this beautiful day!

Sorry, edited it as I posted the wrong link! I'm thinking I don't necessarily need it to be 190mm diameter - it can be smaller. I just want something that will cut through a laminate worktop reasonably neatly!

Would this one do the trick? https://www.toolstation.com/trend-craft-circular-saw-blade/p69259

I would get this blade but they are showing 24-48 hours wait at all the nearby stores. Who knew that getting a circular saw blade would be so difficult?!

Screwfix don't seem to do Saxton. Can you recommend a blade that will do the job from Screwfix or Toolstation? Ideally one that doesn't cost a fortune!

They're the original blades that came with the saw. It's 1350 Watts.

What sort of blade should I get?

Thanks for the replies! It's definitely a circular saw - it's a mains powered one from Lidl (I guess that will displease the purists!) and it came with two blades - one for rough cuts and one for fine cuts. I was using the fine one until it went blunt, so I went and got another one from...

I decided to cut our laminate worktop with a circular saw, since it's an end that will just butt up against a corner. It was long enough to allow me a few practice cuts, but on the third one it came to an abrubt halt as the blade became blunt and overheated. So I went to Screwfix to get another...

Actually, I found this video which I think will work better for joining these square edge worktops: I still think I need a guide bush to make the joining bolts... although it's not crucial to get a fine finish on that. I will need to cut a bit off the lengths, but I have a circular saw for...

Actually, the worktop is a SALJAN IKEA custom made worktop - it has square edges, so I'm not sure what sort of joins are appropriate... we need to make 2 x L joins

I have a laminate kitchen worktop I need to fit, so I've obtained a Silverline half inch router 675059 and a jig. However, I seem to be missing a guide bush. Does anyone know of it's possible to get a guide bush to fit this thing? I also have no instructions with the jig!

The CU was installed in 2016, so fairly recent. Anyway, the electricians had them in stock and all is sorted now!
