sweet&low Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It goes buy shank size so usually its a 1/4, or 1/2 it should say it somewhere on router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) It goes buy shank size so usually its a 1/4, or 1/2 it should say it somewhere on router x2, or you can test fit a 1/4" drill bit in the shaft to se if it fits. more than likely it is a 1/4". For ports - the biggest roundover you can get for your router!!! My router will only hold a 1/2" round over, but I set it a little deep and then sand down the notch it leaves. I end up with about a 5/8"-3/4" round over. You can also add a plate against the inside end of the port and make a round over there. I cut 2 pieces of MDF and make a hole in one the O.D. of the pipe, then the hole the I.D of the pipe in the other with a round over on the edge. Glue them together, attach it to the pipe and you now have a flared port on both ends for very little $$$. That is what I did to these: Edited October 9, 2009 by bkolfo4 Quote Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Derrick824 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 You should easily be able to fit a 3/4" roundover in your router. Go to your local Lowes or Home Depot and check out the bits. It will explain on the cases about the size of the bits. http://www.routerbits.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
