I decided a binding router jig was a good idea, but baulked at the AU$300 to $350 that LMII and StewMac wanted. I've been playing around with 3D printers and laser cutters for a while now, and more recently with a CNC machine. I figured I can repurpose parts intended for those machines.
So, for less than AU$100 (would have been < half that direct from China, but patience is no friend of mine), I've ordered:
The rail slide might have too much rotational slop, in which case I'll add a second rail. I'm still thinking about whether to 3D print the trimmer clamp/rounded base as a single plastic unit or make it out of aluminium. Or I could use a CNC spindle with stock clamp.
I'll update this thread when I get to building it. Meanwhile, any suggestion/advice/discouragement is welcome!
