5 Cool Things To Do On Your Router Table // Tips and Tricks

[@patmash]

I wish woodpecker products were affordable for the average woodworker. Nice video sir.

[@bigjoe2458]

I agree. I would like to be able to afford them also.

[@towelie4625]

This is some extremely advanced wood working holy cow man...

[@TheDatadump]

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

[@Raytenecks]

I almost skipped this video because I've seen so many bad "# cool things" videos. But I'm glad I didn't, because you've got me seriously looking at router tables differently. As much as I've seen them used in KZbin videos, I haven't really see how *I* would use one, and this shows me. Thanks!

[@jerrypeacock3928]

I think everyone would love to have those kind of tools guy but That doesn’t take away from the fact that you make a very good video with perfect explanations of how to. I only wish I was as confident with my woodworking as you are with yours. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@Alakay77]

Thanks for the video! I just picked up a router from a nice older man. Thought I was just buying the router, but he pulled out a router table top. I was so excited, as I was just going to make a basic table myself.

[@CypressVintage]

Exceptional. No on your face camera, no chatter and to the point. Great work!

[@k.a.2442]

Amen brother. Amen.

[@4pitts1burgh28]

The blue tape trick is just simply brilliant!

[@websurfer1585]

That router table looks like a seriously quality kit, i'd love a table like that.

A Perfectionist is at work here and teaches at the very best. Learned a lot!

[@GuysShop]

Glad you could take a few things away from it Richard!

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

I agree with others that you can do all of this on a more modest table. I made my own, saving my money for the more important CNC machine. Takes slightly longer to adjust, but the time is my own.

[@masoodabbas3144]

It's impossible to get such sophisticated equipment you have.

[@GuysShop]

All these thing can be done on the simplest of router tables.

[@simonlunt353]

Very nice router table l am lucky with working in joinery shop we have a spindle moulder it’s always nice to see what other joiners do you can learn other ways thank you and stay safe 🇬🇧

Thanks 👍

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Outstanding video Guy. This is the type of help and instruction that I need. You did an excellent job explaining and demonstrating the techniques you were using. Thanks.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much for watching and the nice comment! I do appreciate it.

[@lgflanang]

With that kind of router table, only your imagination is the limit Cheers.

[@joshbono6272]

Ramon Panganiban a router is router. Mine is $30 and I’m planning on buying those bits for it.

[@whosaidthat5236]

Very nice video man. I just installed my router beside my rigid contractors table saw. I extended the fence then built in the platform . Now I can use the fence with my tablesaw with my router . Lol just need a dedicated router for it , such a pain unscrewing it every time I need to use it hand held. Some nice tips in this video

[@GuysShop]

Thanks! Yeah, a dedicated router in the table is nice.

[@maxjohnson1758]

Can you tell me where you sourced the rails to extend your Rigid table saw fence? I looked for rails to extend mine, but they are no longer made (if they ever were). Thank you in advance, sir!

[@cryptowalls]

holy crap!!!! it's the granddaddy of all router tables!

[@bogdanovr]

Your router table is probably more expensive than everything in my shop combined 😆

[@GuysShop]

HaHa

[@sickvic3909]

Including a full size shaper

[@1pcfred]

The table package with the lift is $1,289.99 The sled is another $150 So somewhere around $1,440 plus some more accessories.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

That router table is excellent, must of cost a fortune, your charge out rate must be a huge figure, or you have a meth lab under your workshop like Mr White in breaking bad lol 😂

But it really doesn't do any better than a Bosch or DYI router table in the end!!

[@MadHatter764]

Very nice router table, fence and other Woodpecker jigs ! Much better than my DIY router table made out of a single 12$ white melamine shelf !

[@GuysShop]

Yeah, the melamine does work though. Just takes a little bit more work.

[@scottroy6195]

You saved a lot of money. If you are doing this for a living then you buy the good stuff. If it's a hobby, well building the table is just fun.

[@Methodical2]

That's a hell of a setup.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Nice one Guy. I like my router table well enough, but I'd like either of yours a hell of a lot more

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Kuffy!

[@MichaelSmith-nk4yq]

Wow! I had no idea that can all be done on a router. Brilliant 👍🏾👍🏾

[@saltysteel3996]

The Kobalt router and table combo at Lowe's for 129 can do everything that this nice expensive router table in the video can do.

[@simpleminded5215]

Salty Steel Great to know. I just picked the Kobalt table/router up yesterday. Looking forward to working on this.

[@jagsidhu4559]

Nah. Not the cheap plastic Kobalt. Bad comparison.

[@buba2isatosa]

[@LUckybones25]

I bought that same Kobalt setup, and I agree!

[@djdynieldaniel1395]

I just built my 1st router table with scrap wood in my shed. I'm 10 000 BC, before I reach the level of this high tech table router this video featured.

[@GuysShop]

Yeah, it is pretty fancy. A hole in a piece of plywood will work, this is all creature comforts

[@pinballrobbie]

Note- if using solid wood panels do not glue the panel to the frame and be particularly careful not to get glue on the corners of the panel when assembling the frame. This is because the solid panels will expand and contract with changes in humidity and must be free to do so. The panels are apt to split if not free to move.

[@danfarbecker2441]

Nice add for Woodpecker products. Great tools....if I ever win the powerball I will buy some.

[@GuysShop]

Good luck!

[@MrJamocity]

That micro adjust feature is on point. Wish mine had one of those.

[@shawnbond1975]

I love how the height adjust on that insert. Do you have to lock it down after adjusting so the bit doesn't move? Seems like the vibration and pressure could move the bit if not.

[@mikhail2400]

Im betting he locks it down before every cut. I dont have a table router lift, I just use the built in lift on my Triton router but if I dont lock it down Ill sometimes find my cuts changing height. I learned the hard way but I did learn, Lock It Down For Every Cut!!!!

Yea, I'm with Tallyman..What happened to the Incra Router table?.. Last year I spent almost 2 grand for that whole set-up you showed. (I still haven't finished building the drawers). Did Woodpeckers offer a better sponsorship deal? Now I have to buy another router table to keep up with you...lol

What setup do you have for the table . Very interested in buying one

[@michaell7877]

Nive Vid Guy. However; most of us don't have all those fancy tools you have. Well let me rephrase that. Most of us got some-type of router table, table saw, bandsaw, planer, Drill Press. Not even close to having all those gadgets called accessories that you have. Would be real nice if you told us if you bought them yourself or were sponsored. Most of us , at least me, am awed with that stuff. I like it. However; that is wishful thinking on my end. I have a lot of Incra stuff in which I love dearly. It took me quite a while to budget that. hahaha...Hope that you can take it down a notch or two and come down to us poow folk. Hahahaha. Love you vids though, and you are very talented to say the least! I wish you would spend a little bit more time in showing us simpler steps when you are describing little tweaks here or there. Or at least tell us which video you might have explained something similar relating to the particular tool you are using...Thanks again, and glad to be a subscriber.......God Bless....OH! P.S. I would love to buy a shirt. Only I have to have a pocket in them. I won't wear one without it. Let me know when/If you get them.

[@lude3645]

I router small 2x3 pieces of wood only 3/16th deep. Its just the end that I cut out. So its 1x2 inches by 3/16 deep, shaped somewhat like an Omega ( The omega sign or horse shoe shape stays) sign on one end of this wood. Its such little cutting I use a drill press. Also because I need to see what I am cutting. I been using a 1/4" straight bit in the drill press. It works ok but would like to try a router and table. How would I do this with a router and router table? I cant see the cutting, to know how to shape the Omega sign ( again its the closet way to describe what shape I am cutting). The depth is very important. . Making a jig would be difficult and the depth will change with different pieces that I cut. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

[@cliffodell8593]

LINKS to sources (eg. Amazon) fortable, bits, and all things shown in the video would be nice. Yes, I see woodpecker; but the other stuff too.

I have an old table router I inherited from my father-in-law. It doesn't have the possibility of having a bearing on the bits. It has a 1/2" shank and I have to put spacers to get it to about the right height, then there's an adjustment handle and lock-down handle to fine-tune the height. What do you recommend for doing the plywood/hardwood job on this type of router?

Hi Guy- this is very helpful. Wondering what kind of wood did you use for the raised panel? I’m having a hard time finding solid wood in a width wide enough for the panel. Was it actually separate boards edge-glued together? I know plywood is also an option....but I’d rather solid hardwood if I can find it. Thx.
