I used 80/20    10 series.  3" wide.  2 are 36" long.  2 are 12" long. Here are the connectors I used.....

I am a bit today (coffee in hand).
Where does that extrusion come from?
That looks pretty slick.

In the States we can get it off eBay as well.

I received the Freud 1-3/4" bit the other day.  I needed to modify the original jig that I use to accommodate the larger bit.  No dust collection with this large router bit so it's a hot mess.  Something that I'm not used to.  [sad]
All 80/20 aluminum 10 series profiles.  Use your imagination with it and you can get some cool jigs.
Works perfectly for me.  Anyway, check out the pictures.

This is a maple glue up that I have to be honest with you guys, I did not pay enough attention to the boards after I  glued them up.
I did not check to see if they were flat on my clamps.  I over tighten the clamps and created a bow in the panels.
This mess is the price I have to pay for because I didn't pay attention to the details.
Lesson learned.  I hope  [unsure]

After a quick clean up.

Couple more passes and it will be perfect.

Someone asked how the boards are held in place.
First side I use double sided tape and wood shims where they are needed to level the panel.
After the first side is flattened I flip the board over and use wedges made from 5mm plywood.  You can see the wedges in this picture now that I vacuumed up the mess.

Looking good, Eric!  You got a good thing going with those extrusions.  You make things look so easy! LOL

Thanks for the update and nice to see a little sawdust in that new shop.

What would be the largest bit for this purpose, for the 1400, that could still use the dust collection?

[member=8811]richk[/member] the manual says bits up to 28mm. That essentially means that a 28mm diameter bit will plunge through the hole in the dust extraction hood without hitting the edges.

I took the "door" off a dust hood for the OF1400 so I could get dust collection with the 35mm cup hinge bit with the LR32 system.
By removing this "door" it increases the size bit that you could get dust collection with a little. 
So I would say that 35mm ( 1-3/8") bit is the largest diameter bit you could use BUT you will have to modify your dust hood.

Hello erock, did you have your supplier counterbore for the connectors or did you do it yourself?
