I’ve had a particular issue causing me problems for aeons. The screws holding the baseplate on my Titan TTB591ROU router are totally non-standard and weird. Neither I nor anyone in numerous hardware/engineering shops can find a match.
This means I’ve been unable to mount the router on any kind of alternate baseplate, workstation or jig. And I need to do so. I finally snapped, today, and decided – ‘cause it’s holding up my workflow with my current snare drum projects – this must be fixed.
The solution: enlarge the (approx’) 3.3mm threaded holes to a standard M4 thread, using a tap tool. To my amazement, this seems to have been both simple to do, and… successful.
The router is now fixed to the ‘underside’ of the jig I’m making, for routing inner bearing edges.
