How to use a #Router: Everything you need to know about Spindle speeds & RPM
Perfect #routerskills video for the Newbie woodworker!
Everything you need to know about what speed your router needs to run at for different sized #routerbits

Basic Knowledge to get you routing safer for longer!

So although routers seem to be one of those power tools the intimidate or even out and out scar new woodworkers, they really are quite simple tools. It's just a motor spinning a sharp cutter! They're noisy and I think that's what scares people...... That and the fact that there is some pretty bad information out there, thats sometime a little misleading or confusing. Possibly not the whole story, and at worst just downright wrong and therefore dangerous.
I'm running this in depth video that talks all about, and in full details everything a woodworking router user needs to know about the machines spindle speeds, what speeds to use and why, and also where to get the information! This is video goes into full details leaving viewers with a full understanding of one of the 4 basic "rules to routing", that apply every single time you turn on your machine. Whether to simply round over an edge, to create fully profiled/scribed raised panel doors as part of a full furniture build or to fit a kitchen. if the machine is switched on, this 'rule' plays a huge part in YOUR SAFTEY, they machines longevity, and the results on your projects!

This Video is NOT sponsored in any way by anyone, Although I show Trend routing products, I use them purely for demonstration purposes, and my views about their products are solely mine.

If you have a company and wish to discuss sponsorship of of my channel, get in touch and we can talk. As long as you know from the start I'm going to say what I think about any companies products, not what your company wants me to say, we might work together.

Ok so because I'm sure people will be too impatient to wait and see the whole video for the bit diameter/RPM tables here you go, They are in METRIC with Pretty close Imperial equivalents....
1mm-24mm (upto 1") 28, 000RPM
25mm-30mm (1" to 1 1/4") 24000RPM
31mm-50mm (1 1/4" - 2") 18, 000RPM
51mm-67mm (2" - 2 41/64" 16, 000RPM
68mm-86mm (2 43/64" - 3 11/32") 12, 000RPM

NOTE: as stated in the video, these are MAXIMUM recommended speeds, you can run them slower, but it be a less efficient cut.
NEVER compromise quality for safety! If you feel safer running cutters slower, run them slower.

Hi thanks for the very informative video I'm new to your channel and to woodworking too so if you may I have a question . Is the type of wood itself that I'm routing has any thing to do with the speed of the bit ?I mean is solid wood preferred a higher speed than soft wood or the other way around or it doesn't matter the type of wood and it's all about the bits ? Sorry for the naive question but I'm new to this so I'm still learning

Question.
If you have a router that runs 13.000 rounds per minute ( no speed change available).
and the bit is then you that on with two different collets... one is 6 mm and the other is 8 mm.
Which shank (6mm/8mm) is going to be fastest (mph)?
