The last thing you said about the pushing of the router and not pulling towards oneself saved me a lot of danger. I owe you much respect.

THIS is the tutorial I’ve been searching for, a true beginners video, so many others assume you already know some stuff, and leave you with questions, and frustrated, I am feeling confident now to begin routing! Thanks heaps

Cheers for the tips mate..
All The Best...

A very useful video, thanks. I haven't used my router for 25 years and this was a good refresher. I think you might have a history of instructing or teaching? You are a natural. All the best, Pete

I've searched for a video on router basics and most I watched left lots of questions unanswered. Not so in your case. This is an excellent 'beginners' tutorial covering all the basics. Thanks!

Complete novice here, thank you for this basic introduction, you have assumed no knowledge where so many other videos do. A useful tip about size of bit v machine rpm. Thank you

My Grandad taught me how to use his moulding plane, which I've always used. It does need a bit of skill and effort and does have some limitations, so I've had a hankering for a router. Now I have a job rebating the edge of some flooring in-situ in a doorway which really would be difficult with just hand tools so I need to take the plunge (!) and get up to speed (!) with a router. Many thanks for this introduction, it has helped greatly. By the way; one further tip, if I may suggest, for using a power tool on a cable; check the wire has enough slack and is not going to pull tight as the tool is moved through the working stroke, or worse get pulled into the cutter. Rehearse the move.

I've had a second hand router for time, after your video I'll use it, nice one m8

Just got an Erbauer router after having promised myself one for years. This is a brilliantly clear tutorial. Thanks.

I’m a router user but a refresher is always worth watching

This was very very helpful. I've just bought my first router and this video has helped me get up to speed on the most important information that a beginner should have.
