Bosch ROS10 5-in. Random Orbit Sander
- Good stock removal and dust collection without a vacuum - Average for both with a vacuum - Handling was very good, but a little less so with a vacuum attached - Easy to grip around the waist
Crown Rosewood and Brass Cutting Gauge
The Crown Tools cutting gauge tightens securely and cuts well, but fit and finish issues make fence adjustments fussy. The thumbscrew can’t apply moderate tension, which would make adjustment easier.

Dave,
A few of us have built the NYW router table, if you search on 'router table' in gallery you'll see a nice one built by Tom F.
It a fun build....works great.
I just got done building a hybrid between these two. I really like the top and fence from the AWW table but the base cabinet is really a waste. so I built the AWW top and then built a NYW-inspired Cabinet under it. I didnt have plans for the NYW cabinet so I just took Ideas from the pictures i have seen and sized everything to the AWW top. By the way the woodpeckers plate really is nice too.
