A lot of "trade" 1/2in routers come with a 30mm guide bush. At least deWalt, Trend and Makita do - Festool, naturally, don't
First time routing worktops

The trend T7 comes with the 30mm bushing. It seems pretty well stacked.
right….so I bought a “brand new” Trend KWJ700 worktop jig from flea bay, but it’s damaged…
There’s a chip/tear at the edge of the 400mm rounded bit which is about 3mm deep and so that bit lifts above the surface. The seller offered a £25 refund which I’ve accepted as it means I will have paid £40 for the jig.
I’m wondering if I can glue/screw it down.

Alternatively epoxy adhesive (Araldite) worked well.into the joint, clamp until set, then clean up with a fine file

Hi all, and thanks for the advice so far.
Ok so I routed the worktops……Sort of.
It’s basically a right hand deal; so rh female (routed topside up), and rh male (routed topside down) which runs into the wall, so a tight fit for sure.
When I cut the male end it’s gone wonky and I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. I went over it again and it neatened up a bit, but if I try and do it again I’ll be shortening the length of the worktop even more and it already falls about 15mm short from the wall (cos it’s my first time and was I unsure how I’d get glue onto the joint if it simply dropped into place as opposed to cutting it short so I could slide it into the female edge. Hope that makes sense.
I’ll post some pics later when I’m back there.
