How To Use A Router | Newbie

If you're BRAND NEW to the wood router, or powertools for the matter, then this video lesson is exactly what you need.

OVERVIEW: In today's lesson I will be walking you through the different router options available. I'll show you a GREAT basic router bit set that I highly recommend if you are looking for one. I'll be explaining some basic routing technique, and at the end of the video, I'll show you how to make a very simple round edge on a piece of flat stock.

Finally someone who is straight to the point, very informative and doesn't try to be goofy. Thank you!

This is how all how to videos should be. No bs, quality info, short and sweet ⚡️🤟👌

As a woman who is trying to learn the basics, THANK YOU! This video was very helpful and I can't wait to build amazing things!

This is one of the best videos for router use simple and on point. I just bought a router just like your small one and finally I don't need to sand down edges I just passed them with the router. My final sanding now is just to finish the surface not to take down material. Thanks.

Concise, articulate, and extremely helpful & informative...just the way all instructional videos should be. Well done!! THANK YOU!!

I'm surprised to only see 9 comments here. Just wanted to tell you this is a very professional video, easy to watch for beginner's or veteran's.

You nailed it, just a quick overview. Very short & right on point, thanks so much!!

[arjenspeekenbrink]

Very informative! Exactly what my wife and I need as novice woodworkers. As non-native English speakers, we have a little trouble keeping up with your pace, but we look at your videos several times. Thanks!

Thankyou! Ive always struggled with routers, and i truly believe using this tool can unlock a lot more potential in my custom work. Last time i used one I believe i didnt set the depth correctly and also didnt make multiple passes making the tool eat too much. Gonna try it again!

[corineohara]

AWESOME! Straight forward, comprehensible and gave everything a beginner needs in less than 5 minutes!

[joannamartin]

Thank you. I just invested in a router with plunge attachment and you simplified the tool, parts, technique and vocabulary associated with routers.

Awesome video!
Paying attention to the wood grain is very, very important.
Sometimes the router will just launch if you hit a bad spot. Be careful guys, always look where you're cutting before doing it!

Couldn’t find how to change my bit. I’m a newbie on the router. You’re the only one on here that actually showed me how to do that. I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the depth either! I now am ready to go! I appreciate the quick overview!!

[stanleylucky]

No time-wasting, to the point and informative. Love it! Thank you.

Just got started wood working and got my first router. Great and simple video to get me started. Thanks

Finally a video that actually shows how a router works! I search "how does a router work, and 3 videos in I found you. Thanks so much! I thought routers were way more complex, but they're not when you find this guy. I'm working on tables from pallet wood at age 14(almost), so I have to use cheap things. My plan is to make and sell tables, hopefully build sort of a shed(from pallets, and materials that you can't find for free which would be bought from table money), and move on to more high quality materials from stores alongside with a wider variety of tools, and make furniture during the summer, then sell it while I'm in school, so I can make a bit of money, hopefully plenty. I enjoy woodworking, so I decided I would go that route to get my family out of poverty. My dad isn't in the same as me and my mom because he did bad things, so we're surviving on food stamps... And it sucks. Again thank you so much, it helps a lot finding videos that make it easy, so thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless. 🙏✝️❤

I’ve been doing interior for 10 years & im just discovering routers & how amazing they really can be if used correctly

I just purchased a used porter cable 690 series router. Excellent video, thanks for being knowledgeable, easy to understand, and allowing me to have a base line to start. Well done sir.,

[Erated]

I'm shopping for a router and found this video very helpful. Thank you!

[jeetray]

Thank you! I just read an instruction manual and was fuzzy with the understanding on how to put a bit, how to use it. But this demonstration made it so much clear.
