    you may need some work top under the intergrated items most washing machines need raising 80 mm
     
  2. Good call! Just the checked the washer (freestanding) it's ok. The dishwasher came with extra legs to raise it multi storey style

    Time to start getting a couple of coats of oil on the underside of your work tops too.

  10. Im sure I've been told this but can't remember the answer. Why do you need a half inch and not quarter inch router for tops?

    where the nic is out you just have to sand the top a tiny bit each cut

  14. Super offer offer there thanks but it's just the curved jobby I need. I just got some straight end cuts which are no trouble, sink cut out (jig came with sink), and the two curves. No joins or owt like that to do.
    Thanks anyway ken very kind of you :)

    You can make a curve template out of 10mm mdf. Follow your unit line, adding the overhang and cut with your jiggling saw and sand nice and smooth. You can route the curve first, then if you mess up you've only lost mm's. Once your happy with the curve, cut to the correct length. The only thing to watch when you make you own template is not tipping the router over the edge of it. If you look at proper jigs, both sides of the router are always supported on the jig. When I cut templates they are usually just profiles and half the router base floats in the air.

    EDIT-- don't forget to add the guide bush offset when you set up the curve template.


    Don't forget some 'how to' photos:)

    Kind offer Ken, you should fix the nic with some car body filler and get a few quid for it:thumbsup:
