Phil,

Thanks very much for the Woodcraft #.

Interestingly I've been looking for that same nut for a while -- for other purposes having to do with the Router table.

I had no success at Rockler and a local "Shasta Fasteners" store.

Now I will have to get familiar with Woodcraft and find something else to buy so that I don't have to spend $7.00 to get $2.00 dollars worth of nuts. <grin>.

Thanks, Nelson

Phil,

After dallying around getting my Router Table set up --and the inevitable "honey do's" I am turning my attention back to the circle cutting jig.

I am not sure what I am seeing (because of the camera angle on the first picture (of the 4 at the bottom) ):

Is that a "traditional t-nut" in the recessed slot (on the opposite side of the jig from the Knob)?  If so, did you grind off the tangs?

The other possibility, I perceive, is that the nut in the recess is one of the oval nuts sold by woodcraft in 10 packs --- but ----- I only found two choices on the website  #147921 [10-32's] and #147922 [1/4 -20's] neither of which jive with the 5/16" modified all thread.

Help <grin>

Phils discussion as to how he put together the Lid Separator, indicates that the dust ports that he used came from Rockler/Woodcraft.

I could not locate a picture of it in the July 08 Rockler catalog so I went to the Woodcraft Website and found nothing that looked like the ones in the Pictures Phil provided.

So I went to the Rockler Website and using the search phrase "Dust Port" located a picture of what was as far as I can tell  -- identical to the ones in the pictures. (I did the same search on the WoodCraft site)

The number was 92031 which is listed on page 125 of the July 08 Rockler catalog --Just no picture.

Hope this is of some help to somebody.

Although I am 71, I haven't done any significant wood working in many years (high school woodshop). I m very intrigued by your trash can separator and almost as much by your circle cutting jig.

I just bought a router and router table top (to mount on a pre owned stand), so I have the tools to make both of your creations.

My question: what is the jig radius bar made of?  In one pic it looks like plywood (Baltic Birch?) but in another view the recess for the t-nut looks to "clean" for it to be ply.

Could you give me a hint?
