Hi People,

I now have a worktop drainer jig, and am about to route the slots in the oak worktop with about a 6 degree slope.

I am going to be using a 1/2" nosing bit or a 3/8" one, and wanted to know what you guys think would look better?

Also where can I get a 30mm OD standard bush for my Bosch router?

Cheers

Cad

i think 6degrees is 1 in 15  
so a one inch drop for every 15"

i prefer about a 5mm drop over a drainer so if it aint kept oiled properly it sheds the water better
but jasons 3mm is pretty much the industry standard

like jason i use a 7mm [6.7] bit and use the same bit to do the drip [capillery]groove underneath

I don't think Bosch make that one now, you may have to go for a Trend sub-base (GB/50) and a 30mm steel guide bush (GB30)

Just make sure you have enough plunge depth by the time you have the template, 3mm slope and 8mm thick sub-base

Actually the Unibase is a bit cheaper and will fit a larger range of routers if you ever upgrade.

You can't go far wrong if you use Axminster Power Tools 99% of the time they deliver next day.

the capillery groove should stop within the area of the sink so the water that falls from the groove lands in the sink

if you accidently cut beyond the sink use mastic to cause a low point to shed the water

i  would also stop the capilery groove breaking the front edge if the sink is set forward from the worktop

you shouldnt put a capilery groove anywhere except over the sink
and all edges over the sink should have a groove stopping within the confines off the sink
