Handheld Router
What Router Should I Use? The TD330 is shipped with two 1/2" shank router bits. Leigh recommends a midsize router, from 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 HP with a 1/2" collet. This size provides great power to weight ratio. Fixed base routers are ideal because they have a lower center of gravity with handles mounted to the router base rather than the motor, as with plunge routers. However, if you are proficient with the use of a plunge router, it works just as well. When buying a router, also consider ergonomics, switch location, a good plunge mechanism and easy, accurate adjustment of bit height.
Adaptors for your Router - The TD330 requires a router fitted with the Leigh e10 guide bushing. Leigh offers a range of guide bushing adaptors to fit most common routers if required.
Router Table
Router tables are typically used with a bearing or fence, however, the Leigh TD330 is guided around a guide bushing mounted in the router table. Leigh eBushes will need an insert ring to fit to your router table or router plate. Check the images for specific measurements.
To fit the eBush to your router table insert plate, you need a 1-3/8" (34.9mm) diameter counter bore insert ring. Check with your router table or router plate (router lift) manufacturer, as to what adaptation, if any, is required.
