Trimmer Router & 15 Router Bits Cutter. FULLY DETAILED Example Cuts

[@geoffb108]

Thankyou for demonstrating that the very cheapest palm routers are actually quite ok. There are so many tool snobs who wont even look at budget priced tools. I have a work shop full of cheap tools and manage to make lots of furniture for my house without any problems. If a cheap power tools fails just buy another one it wont break the bank.

[@SujMenon]

Absolutrly, you bet. For a DIY use, these are more than enough

Dude, this is GREAT! You are not only a talented craftsman, but also a terrific content producer! In this video, you have provided SO MUCH helpful information to viewers like myself. And, your project ideas for woodworkers are inspiring. Thank you, Suj! Thank you!

[@DenBlackburn]

The video is fantastic, and the fact that you show a mistake makes it even better, no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but to not edit it out of your video has made your videos one of the best ive seen, thank you very much, as I purchaced one yesterday, going to have a mess with it today, thanks again.

[@christophermackey2570]

This is the first video posted by you that I have seen. I like the very clear, easy to understand presentation. Unlike many other woodwork project videos, the viewer doesn't need a workshop with table saw, bandsaw, welding gear, angle grinders, large drill press etc. etc....those videos would put off a beginner, whereas yours encourages one to think 'yeah, let's have a go! I like the way you explained (and even demonstrated) common snags along the way! The only thing I would add is the provision of (even just a clamp on) fence for the simple router table. I'm sure I'll need that to produce nice even and straight results. Thanks!

[@SujMenon]

Thanks Chris. Glad it was useful and thanks for the additional fence tip👍

[@bazajow]

[@SujMenon]

Ah thanks a lot, Dr Suresh. Incidentally, half of my family is from Kochi, small world!

[@JoJoSXMGyal]

Firstly, thank you for this video. As a DIYer I'm only looking to buy inexpensive tools so I would probably never buy a high end router so these videos are highly appreciated. And secondly, when you did that flip for the saw I immediately perked up and subscribed because i don't have a garage and will never have all the fancy tools most of the woodworking channels have but that flip workbench thingy is totally feasible for me!

[@johnshufelt]

Thank you for this. I just bought a Maktec 370 -- a Makita product and the budget equivalent of the Makita 3709. I'm very pleased with it but am still learning the basics.

Great tutorial Suj. I have just found your site, yes I know, but better late than never. Very informative for the beginner like my self and a few uses you showed are going to help me 100%. Also the way you showed how each bit works was good to see. I have just acquired the work zone router a few weeks ago at a car boot sale with a few router bits. I am now much more confident to try it out. Thank you.

Been having a lil router but never used it. Slightly intimidated by it. But this video has given me courage to open that box and start creating edges. Thanks for your help. Great video.

[@SujMenon]

Glad it was helpful. Make sure the work piece is "clamped" down, before routing the edges 👍. And be aware of that initial sudden spin effect when the router is switched on.

[@loktom4068]

The router spinning at very high speed. Do pay extra attention for safety. Especially for fingers, eyes, and lungs, from those very fine wood chips and sharp router bites.

Hello Suj, trimmer; A very good replica of the Makita handheld router. It can be used for hobby work. Smoke at 07:09 and a burnt router tip at the end :-) These tips are for hobby use. Because I use the same tips. I had experienced similar situation. I love the rotating workbench. The cactus pot box was also nice. The square coasters were also nice. nice on both devices but Trimmer seems better. Thank you for the introduction and detailed information. you made a good comparison. Thank you for sharing. See you. stay healthy and happy. Big greetings. Best regards. Your friend Mehmet .

Thanks for the video I'm learning how to use a router and you have very very good information, I noticed that you did not explain how deep to put the bit in the router and I really love how you have your saw under the table and just flip it.

[@SujMenon]

Glad it was helpful! And good that you bought the topic about the height of the bit in the router. I completely missed that, haha. I usually put around 75% of the shank of the router bit inside the collet. I believe anything over 50% is good. The key thing as you already know, is to make sure that the collet has sufficient grip on the shank of the router bit.
