The router table is considered to be one of the most important tools in any woodshop. This is due to it versatility of use along with its ability to make cuts precisely, accurately, and repeatably with little effort.

  • How to Safely use a Router
  • How to select the correct router bit for your purpose
  • Some Hands on with Hand Held Routers

The second session (Router 101-Lab Session) will give you the chance to actually get hands on experience using the router table and how to do a multitude of cuts & adjustments to the table.
