- THE FIRST FOUR things users need to know when using ANY router, regardless whether you're using a fixed base router or a plunge router, of any brand or model.
We cut through the fancy high speed slow-mo footage, and focus on whats important to keep router users safer, so they can become more confident with there machines.
In this video you won't be confused about a huge range of expensive router bits that you don't need just because they look cool, and get the views. You ll learn what's actually import to know, because we actually understand the machines, and how to help you get the best from them without over dramatising what can happen and scare off off new beginner woodworkers.
If you want to jump about to the various sections:
0:01 - 2:15 Introduction
2:16 - 2:59 Direction of Cut
3:00 - 5:30 Router bit speed.
5:31 - 7:17 Depth of Cut
7:18 - 10:46 Feed Rate
10:47 - 11:55 - It's a secret
This video is for anyone who has a router, or is looking to use a router, for the first time or the 1000th time.
Its basically the TLDR version, or a series of three other videos already on this channel, and not only dispels the myths put out by other popular channels, but makes it easy to understand what you actually need to know to be safe, happy, and get better results from your machine and your woodworking projects.

That "gut feeling" thing is so important, we have probably all done things we had a "gut feeling" about and ended up regretting it, one of my most expensive lessons was learnt while useing a half inch Dewalt router upside down in a table with a cheap 3/16 cutter, and as I was proceeding through the probably too deep cut , the very instant I had that "gut feeling" and before I could back out the cutter broke, and being uside down it fell into the router and removed some of the cooling fan blades which puts things seriously out of balance. following the repair of the router I made a shield to protect the router from any falling debris while still allowing the air to pass through it. I hope this might help someone avoid the same mistake.
If you’re forcing a cutter enough to either break it, or bend the shank….. you are indeed cutting too deep.
This is the cause of burning (too deep a cut leads to too slow a feed rate, causing too much heat which causes the burning)…
I have videos on depth of cut explanations and how to’s/ does and fonts as well as for feed rate…..
All explained with details and examples.
Stay safe, and stay away from videos by folks who may have large followings but not always the large knowledge 🫣😉
Just bought a router to make reinforce shelves in ply. Glad i found this vid.
Sound advice. I am a very experienced router user, but always prepared to learn something new or try to spot my own bad habits, so will be watching this series(?).
The other videos referenced are all already released. This is more the TLDR version for those not wanting to know the full details.
I do plan, in time to update them, but the information is all on the channel.
Gosh I'm so glad this video popped up- I've 2 routers now and no clue lol.. well I can do a straight line... but I've no idea what I'm doing

Enjoy your teaching style. Thank you for the content!
Pleasure! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Glad it was of use to you!!
I have hust subbed to your channel, and I have to say all your videos are super easy to understand.
I hope you upload more soon 🙂
Can I fix a trend t10 router to use as a table router. Thanx Ken.
Yeah of course… you can use almost any router for a router table.
do you have your workshop on a video?
Nice
My god .... Too much to keep in mind while routing . I used to just do it and let what happens happens then fix it later 😂 . Great video though . I'll try to follow your rules . Thank you so much
Lol!
Honestly it totally isn’t! Just take it but by bit and and consider each bit plus one as you go along.
It’s really not complicated at all!!!
Saved this for when my shed isn't -4 degrees and I can get back out!
Yeah, my workshop is pretty chilly currently too..... no heating at all, if it weren’t for the fact it’s south facing, it would be unusable!
Off and running... 👍🏽
Good start for new and experienced users alike.👌🏽
🙌
Hello mate long time no watch!
Hope you're well
I brought one of them Chinese mitre bits... I took one look at and laughed and left it in its box... I hope you agree I did the right thing, it's an accident waiting to happen 🤣🤣
Which one?
I'm reasonably sure you know what you are talking about but a bit of validation would be reassuring. When I did a short course on teaching we are told to start with I am certified or qualified to do this lesson because of.... and state the qualifications.
Yeah, you’re probably right…. I removed from school every lesson started with exactly that….
Personally I’m of the opinion that standing there telling people I have a bunch of reasons why people should listen to me is simply pretentious……
Listen or don’t, it makes me no less safer in my work…
That said there are a bunch of covid woodworkers on UA-cam now offering both wrong or poorly presented info because they don’t know what they’re talking about or don’t actually understand the things they’re saying just repeating what other videos say……so you might be into something.
Clockwise or Anticlockwise...that look is just to damm sexy for the watershed...😉😉
