I was a little surprized that Vince did a video on the router I sent him. I have to admit that I feel uncomfortable taking praise for a simple act of giving something to someone who seems likeable (Vince). It does please me that he seems to like the router. I thought it was pretty cool as well. I had something that I didn't need and I gave it to someone that I thought would like it. Vince did me a favor. I actually feel greatfull that the did me a solid. Thank you, Vince.

mr. Martin sorry to hear about your situation but that is very very nice to give that to Vince over at VCG to ask if he could do the honor of finding someone who deserve that. That is one heck of a gift that someone will receive but more important I hope your health improves your life is more important than any tools but that was nice to see you do that you just proved that there's still incredibly generous people in this world God bless

Your routing backwards thats why it was jumping ahead pulling into the material always counterclockwise

[dwainsmith]

Mr. Martin I’m sure I speak for the whole gang in wishing you a full recovery.

[josephmalinowski]

it also shows what the community thinks of you Vince you don't seem like you're a phony you and your wife always going to different stores showing us different types of tools and prices giving your personal advice that just shows how people view You Vince that you're a great guy and even better wife

Slow the speed down. The longer the cutting edge, the slower the speed should be. A ¾" radius, quarter round bit, has about 1¼" of cutting edge. So it's almost 1.7x the length of a ¾" straight bit. An ogee bit should be run even slower.

God bless Knuckles, Vince, the Very Cool Gang and MAKITA! Here's to praying for your health, Knuckles (OWG!)😁

I am not a big player on the market, I do small medicine, but I do everything to make every product perfect, so that my name becomes a brand and I love my daughter, I teach my son to be proud of my father and then to surprise me and surpass me. certainly such equipment would help me and him achieve it. I am personally a fan of old school work and respect the skills of our fathers

VCG Construction is not only a great YouTube Channel; but more importantly, a great “Family” that comes together to help & support one another. Very few channels at would do something like this. Pretty great when someone has a tool that gifts to another person in need, w/o asking for anything in that’s Super Amazing & Awesome👍🏻
Thanks Knuckle Martin, your a great person & this is what “humanity” should all be about; helping one another.
Cheers Vince, Nick, & VCG “community/family” for making this all possible😁

Mr. Knuckle Martin is a beast! Praying for his recovery (in Jesus name). My uncle had a stroke which crippled him on his left side until his death so i feel his pain. I also understand the need to want to help someone other than your self. It just feels right! This community seems to have that affect on folks. This is the 1st channel that i felt compelled to superchat on. It just felt right! Thanks Vince, nick, all the VCG crew & moderaters for making this channel a safe space for all levels of construction & repair to learn from each other & the great content.

Damn. I'm a Milwaukee owner, but that's a damn fine router.

[mjc]

That is so nice! 👍🏻 what a great community 😊

[danfd]

I have two of these little guys, love them.. the 2ah batteries work fine just obviously done have the run time as the 5.0

[stevegovea]

I'm in the same boat as you Vince, I was holding out for the Milwaukee but a job came up to work on a celebrities house so there was money in my budget to spend on this router. At first I felt like I was cheating on Milwaukee, but damn the machined parts on this router were amazing... no slop whatsoever, and adjusting it was effortless. Thank you for making this video and showing folks the diversity of great tools available.

[garethheathcote]

Vince I would have expected you to know that you are meant to cut from left to right when using a router!😂

[tracynshea]

Vince find out how much he paid for it and I’ll send him PayPal, Venmo or Zelle

[mikecohen]

BRO LOVE THAT ROUTER AND BOX! LOVE IT. AND MY PLATFORM. Biggest complaint about a lot of tools is the LACK of a box. 18v LXT Trim router? Bro, that's the full package. Soon as I have some extra cash, I'd love to try to purchase that tool. Love the versatility and the shape. Excellent video. Excellent tool. And the lock button??? Home run.

[luashelton]

All the best to you Mr. Martin!! You're the Very Coolest of the Very Cool Gang! Someone's gonna be thrilled with this gem!

[xenonram]

Boxes are far superior to those stupid bags manufacturers are sending out. You don't have to look around for them, the boxes are easily identified and marked, the boxes are easily dumped out and washed, boxes don't rip, boxes provide actual protection, and the boxes are better organized on the inside.
