Sorry theres no pic! On iPads since IOS 8 came out it just hangs on upload. So I fixed the upside down problem thanks to Michael but now have a much worse one!

Only $630 ($399 + $229) with the controller to make it work

I'd spend the ducks ($55) on the DRO and crank it by hand. It can get even cheaper if you hack a Horrible Freight caliper to make your own DRO.

Wow....and by the time you ship here and factor the exchange rate ......going at $USD0.83 to our $AUD1.00 it gets expensive.
I have a Triton router fitted to end of my table saw with its own in- built crank handle and a portable digital callipers.
Anyhow since the SB don't use the table mounted router much.

Hey Bob.....I'm still using 7.1.2 IOS......I never update until many, many months later......just like with SB3

Cheers

Chrissy said to tell you Brady that we aint getting it and will be sticking with the Wixey! (She is the treasurer!). Seriously I couldnt go back to working without DRO on the planer/thicknesser as we just dont have under thickness problems ever.

Michael I am a sucker for new stuff and know deep down you shouldnt upgrade OS early. I have the same Triton Router. Is there much vibration on yours? If I leave anything on the table it "walks" off! It is very close to being a top router and the spindle lock is brilliant but the winder mechanism is daft the way it doesnt line up unless you look. I must get off my bum and fix this!

Bob - not sure if you got the PM I sent a few weeks ago about the care package....

Hey Bob.....my triton setup on woodpecker table insert is rock steady......yea when you drop the winder through the hole it can be a little hit or miss but mine is not in an enclosed cabinet so I just look under the table to line it up....I have dust collection straight to the router and works brilliantly.

You could probably cobble one together yourself for $100.00 by going to

if sure someone like Dana who knows Audrino could figure out a interface or controller for settings...

I just got a Wixey for my router lift, on the cheap.
They were closeout priced on Amazon. 27 bucks. I see they're $55 now.
Ha!!! I beat The Man!!!

Anyone need a Wixey Saw Fence readout?
I have one leaning in my corner, made it obsolete when I put the Incra system on my sawstop.
