About to purchase a jig of auction site .I wondered if the collar needed on the router is a standard size to suit all jigs bit confused about this bit
thanks
Hi BA - all the British-made ones are the same, 1/2in cutter x 50mm long and 30mm guide bush (which is what every 1/2in router on the market comes with). The one exception I know of is Festool - being German thay have to be different
You need a 1/2in shank plunge router with 1750 to 2000 watts to successfully tackle worktop joints. It can be done with smaller 1/2in routers, but is takes many more passes so I don't think it's work the aggro. If you hire a DeWalt, Makita of Bosch the hire shop should supply it with a 30mm guide bush, but ask to make sure that they will (and avoid hire shops who can't be arrissed!)
