Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig
Hey, I’ve been a member for a long time but I’m not active because I don’t have a lot of time to "diy" because of school. Anyway, I am also planning to buy a router preferably something that’s cheap because of budget constraints. I am planning to use it in making circles out of mdf for car audio. Currently, I’m using a jigsaw but it’s really hard to make perfects circles. I saw some from the malls and they are priced at around 7K. I haven’t been to Alonzo so I don’t have an idea how much they are there. Hope you can help me find something that’s lower in price. Thanks

A jigsaw can be used but you need to make a jig to cut perfectly round holes. The sames goes when using a router. The simplest is just a piece of plywood wide enough so the jigsaw sit on it, and a bit longer than the radius you want to cut. Just fasten the jig saw to one end with screws or even nails. And put a nail on the other end to the center of the circle you want to cut. You need to drill a starting hole in your workpiece right at the edge of the circle but you already know this I think.
I've done this many times with both a router and a jigsaw.

I bought my very first router from them. They used to have a store near our place in Cainta. The router I bought was not really among their product lines I think. I was just a John Benzen, a Makita 1306 lookalike. I still have it but I don't use it often.

I think others have posted the prices here for tables saws. P3,500 is a really good price already.
For a table router, just buy a router and mount it underneath a table. My uncle even just put one under a piece of 3/4" plywood and clamped it to his workbench. Sorry I don't know how much routers cost these days but you should also factor in the cost of the bits which can be quite a bit especially if you want to make fancy cabinet doors.
You might consider using a table saw to make somewhat fancy cabinet doors. A table saw need to be limited to just flat straight cuts. For example an easy way of making a concave slot is to hold the wood a slightly at angle and run the board parallel to the blade. Setting the blade at an angle will also make nice bevels. You'll have to do a bit more sanding but it could be fun.

Yeah I may have one or two but I live in Cainta so factor in your travel expense.

how much are you selling them and what are the sizes? thanks
Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig
This is what they look like but the actual units may vary. These are GMC Platinum 10" saws, which are marketed as contractor grade. I don't really know but these units are SOLID. They are too heavy in my opinion to be used manually but they'd be great under a table.
How much a unit would cost would depend on the actual unit one would get. If I remember correctly we used to sell these at P2k or something like that. I'm not really sure, the wife did all that stuff.
If anyone is interested I can PM directions to our place.

Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig
You'd have to come to our house in Cainta. We're located behind Brookside Hills, which is before Valley Golf. I won't be around till Jan 5 and I've another trip on Jan 11. January 10 is a good date.
Maybe you'd like to buy a thickness planer?
Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig
thanks for the advice...
how much would it cost me if ill buy a dado blade for table saw
how much would it cost me for auger bit sizes... 1/4, 1/38, 1/2, 3/4
Re: Looking for Table Saw, Router Table & Bits, Dovetail Jig
I've a 7-1/4" dado blade ... never used it. Using a router table or a dado jig for a handheld router is easier from my experience though not as quick. If I remember right it cost about $30 but I bought it off eBay in the U.S.
I only have 3 auger bits because I bought the adjustable kind ... come to think of it I don't remember where they are. If have available power, I suggest you use spade bits instead, they're cheaper. Fostner bits are also another option which are what I generally use. These are the reason I don't use my augers anymore. Anyway, way way back when I bought them they cost about P500 - P700 each. I got them from my nearby industrial supply (I think).
