I am relieved that I found the sherline standard toolpost that came with the machine, and they have one that will allow use of a 3/8" round bit, but not 1/4" and my router bits are 1/4".



At $21 this seems pretty inexpensive.? I do understand changing bits as I do this frequently on our CNC Router, but I'm just trying to do some cuts for now, as I don't know if I will be able to really do, what I want to do with this router.? ? I know I do not have any 3/8" router bits though for small scale work, and Whiteside and other mfgs make it so easy to update your tool profiles, so will have to find a way to update this with inserts, etc for standard tool bits from the metal world.

Sherline is closed for shipping until May 4th, but if you need anything accessories are 20% off right now, and they have so many options and the best website in my opinion for documentation.

Thanks for the kind assistance and welcome.? ?I will look at the other QCTP options too.
