I bought the LMI ones.The price of the extra router base from Syd Tools is very reasonable. Bear in mind that router bits are an added expense, including the ones for edge binding with the varying sized bearings. I also bought a box of template following inserts for the bases (ebay China). As the router base for that wasn't available at the time I bought the base from a shop in the UK for very reasonable price and postage.

I use it for just about everything, including neck to body routs, template following, edge binding, some rosette work, soundhole cut out, bridge jig, truss rod slotting, the list goes on. I have a couple of other Makita trimmers and have them deployed elsewhere, eg on a permanenly set up binding trimmer which I made based on the on Stewmac sells. I bought the RT0700 from Sydney Tools when that trimmer was first released in Aus. Buying tools these days is a bit of a lottery really when most are made in the same place in China. I paid quite a lot for it then but it doesn't owe me anything. The big old router is a B and D 1.5hp model, it's about 40 years old and still going strong. Their 18volt cordless drill is one of the best and longest lasting I have ever had. Very versatile tool.Īnd I may be lucky but I've had a pretty good run with Ozito tools. Might be worth doing a trawl in some local woodwork forums to get a steer on which ones available near you have a good rep. I bought a Makita, fairly expensive but am a bit disappointed with the base, the clamp screw stripped it's thread pretty quickly and the base (and therefore depth of cut) is hard to fine adjust. I would go the opposite to Franks view, buy a good trimmer, cos you will use it for a lot of other jobs. There are now heaps of knock off look a likes on the market, I think there's even an Ozito one at Bunnings. Have since bought another but it doesn't get used much, pretty much binding channels only. This was the expensive variable speed one. I cut two lots of binding channels before it s**t itself. Here are the pictures and a video of it working.I already had a big old router when I started so went for the Dremel cos it seemed to mentioned in every guitar building thing I read at that time. Also, ½” netting may work better, I did have to pick out some left-over leaves that got trimmed off but were too big to fall through the holes. In the future I may add some type of screen on the bottom of the tote with a nested tote to catch the kief instead of having to scrape it all out and separate it. (1) roll of 30 inches of sticky sided Velcro. (1) piece of 2’x10’ delta netting with 3/8” hole from Memphis net and twine- $11 See link below (2) 14” diameter X ¾” thick particle board circles-Free, had some scrap in the garage)

Lastly, I drilled some holes in a home depot storage tote. Then I made a handle and a spindle out of some black ½” plumbers pipe and flanges from home depot. Basically, I cut some 14” circles out of some particle board from the garage, screwed and glued a dowel in the middle, stapled the mesh I ordered from Memphis Net and Twine to the spool I created and used the sticky sided Velcro to create a flap. I didn’t throw my top colas in there but I did trim a little less than a pound of bud in less than 2 hours from the drying rack to the storage jar. I was fucking impressed to say the least. So I built one myself, and I worked great. Plus, a already dry trim, so it seemed to be perfect match, however the lowest retail price for a unit is $899, and I found myself wondering if it could even work without a blade.

This tumble trimmer seemed to be a pretty cool option, it seemed to be a really good mix of efficiency and quality. However, after 11 hours and no one to help, i sometimes find myself looking for other options. I really don’t mind trimming, this is my hobby, and i love it. I grow perpetually, which means once a month I find myself trimming. I have been researching trimmers online for quite some time and one finally caught my eye. I figured I’d do a little write upon the DIY trimmer I built a couple weeks ago.
