Saul: camera is a small canon ixus 850 I try to keep close at hand, convenient to keep tucked on belt when building to try and capture fun stuff.

I also use a canon 5d with some nice fast glass and off camera strobes for more interesting stuff but I try and keep that away from metal filings and saw dust. Its way too heavy for snapping in a workshop. Will probably try and get some decent shots when build is finished and the saw dust has died down.

What would be nice, maybe even a sticky, would be router bit details for the templates?

Router & bit details from memory
Router makita 3612 though any decent 1/2" router will do fine here. Make sure its got an accurate depth stop and check this periodically when cutting. Regardless of how tight you get the chuck the bit will slowly pull itself down over many cuts. Make sure that the bit is always sufficiently clamped, you wont want to catch it if it heads your way at 30000rpm. Big smile

Bit = 12mm standard kitchen plunge cutting bit

Collet = 30mm. Comes with quite a few routers as these are purchased by kitchen fitters who use 30mm worktop template cutting jigs.


Then horn end was not made thicker on purpose. We decided to use the handles to provide a fixing point for the grill, and then angled them to make them look pretty.

Cheers
Matt

I t does work, trust me, and every kitch fitter on the planet. One point is that the cutter is 12.7mm (1/2" in old money) not 12mm but all router jigs I have used run on a 30mm OD guide, the 12.7mm cutter is usually spec because they are cheap and a standard. But both my 1/2" routers have 30mm followers, my 1/4" has a 20mm I don't know if this is a stndard as the router cost £18 (inc a 110V ceeform) and is Makita "lookey-likey-chinese" but I only use the thing with a 6mm round over so I have never treid to use the guide tingy.....

hmmm - im not convinced. 

I'll have to have a look on the ELU router i use.  Im sure the spacer is bigger than 30mm. 

you may well be right Smile

I have a kitchen fitter that has been installing for over thirty years. Absolute craftsman that is a pleasure to watch / learn from.
He still has some old ELU gear, including a portable table saw.
The router jigs from Schreiber days thirty years ago used 30mm OD. The jigs are still 30mm, hence why the collet that comes with most of the makita 1/2 routers is 30mm.

Day Four,
Cable installed and cable clipped,
four coats of white so far,
external screws holes filled with wood filler and hardener, sanded
one external coat of black.









This filter was perfectly clean and a nice bright blue colour. After sanding the filler it looked like this. At least everything on the filter is not in our lungs Smile



Few more coats of paint, drivers to load and then testing.

A quick question for those with far more knowledge than I.
How to connect two sets of 8 core 2.5mm onto the back of an 8 core speakon connection. Looks a little tight for soldering.

Two ways, one CHEAT, link the 2 nl8s with a bit of heat shrink threaded over the link wires and then just strip out 10mm of the insulation wrap the "tap-in" wire to your driver around the exposed bit, solder and then heat shrink up....
 
Or the way I do it is with hellerman h30 sleeves, lubed and applied over the pair of pre-striped conductors with the "fanny stretcher" tool, this sleeve holds the 2 conductors together tight so they can be soldered as one onto the NL8 tab abd then the sleeve pushed down to give a rock solid assembly.
A good tip here is to wire some driver to the "input" NL8 and some to the "output" NL8 to aviod it getting silly tight on the one connector....
 
I've also seen PCBs used for this but a lot of hassle for a short run and can go wrong as EV will testify when their TG7 amps blown all the copper off the insides of their X-line subs...
