[gychang]

my hitachi router arrived, is there a short video clip somewhere that shows how to use the router?

I have some ideas but like to see in action, I rember seeing Norm on Yankee...

don't think there's video, but lots of info nonetheless

In a nutshell...
When freehanding, remember:
Outside edges counterclockwise
Inside edges clockwise

For table use:
Line up fence and bit or bury bit in fence..
Never put stock between fence and bit.

Get the new edition of Woodworking with the Router by Bill Hylton. It's regarded as the be all and end all of router books.


Enjoy,

One last one.

Go to www.thewoodworkingchannel.com and view the programming schedule for "The Router Workshop". Many projects done with just the router and the simplist of tables.

Enjoy,

jeez. Tom's site should have been the first one I listed. I've spent many an hour there reading articles and product reviews.
Highly recommended.
