This is an idiots question Im afraid. I want to router some grooves 18mm Mdf. for a book shelf - just a narrow one. In the past I have usedan 18 mm router bit and it is never the snug fit logic would suggest.Not my technique - somewhere in the back of my mind years ago I believeI heard that you had to use a smaller router bit. Could someone tell mewhat size I should be buyng when I go to the shops over the weekendThanks for any help - Keith

Thanks again - the router should be okish it is sold in England by Wickes - which is a DIY outlet - I appreciate that it would not be in same league as others but it should really not be that bad - but who knows really. I have been looking out for a Dewalt - any recommendations whilst Im here.

Thanks again

There lies your problem then...Wickes own brand. :-(

Any of the De-Walt routers are good enough,preferably the 1/2" collet range though. Makita and bosch you should also look at although bosch is within most peoples budget.
