Question for the expert (you): Would I be able to use my existing Dremel 1/8" shank bits, with a 1/4-1/8" adapter, to use with my DeWALT DWP 611 palm router?
Have watched tons of videos on routers but didn't you recommend in one of your videos a little plastic handheld device where you could measure the depth of your router bit when using a palm router? I have looked and looked for this link and cannot find it. Thanks for your help.
Always go backwards..counterclock wise..first to remove the bulk of the material.. then shape..good vedio
Im really invested haha, ?
Hey, if I want to build electric guitar, what router should I get?
You are correct – I am terrified of my Router. It came out of the box, and I had a quick look, and have not plugged it in yet. I am still trying to work out what is what on the all the attachments. There appears to be scaffolding stuff to put around the router????? and long rods??? totally baffled!! Thank you for doing this fabulous video, I think I may have worked it out now , thanks to your video.?
Deciding between the Skil RT1322, DeWalt DW618PK, and Bosch 1617EVSPK router. Have a 2001 Porter cable router 7529 and it is so so so so lovely! I need some advice. Don’t like the plunge base router handles on the Bosch, the DeWalt has issues with its variable speed, and the Skil has been made of cheaper materials. Which one would closely resemble my Porter Cable router I have now?
I like the lights, digital readout, the collect lock for bit changes on the Skil. I like the heavy duty-ness of the DeWalt and it looks easy to use. I like the reviews about the Bosch and what people say about it.
I dislike the plastic indicator on the plunge base for the Skil. I dislike the DeWalt’s faulty variable speed knob and the two wrench bit change. I dislike the two wrench bit change on the Bosch and the plunge base handles.
Leaning towards the Skil, but I just am concerned about the quality.
My Porter Cable router is in my router table right now and it would be great to just leave it in there rather than undoing bolts and latches on my homemade router lift. Have one router dedicated to my router table and another router for portability around my garage/shop.
Advice?
What about a fulcrum pin?
Great video thanks, some really useful info – Most of my router bits are 1/2" and the majority have that "K" line to mark the maximum protrusion that the bit can be at in the collet, one thing that you may be able to help with is, how tight should you tighten the collet? I would have thought it is possible to damage the collet if you overtighten, but what is a good "feel" (i.e. without a torque gauge) to get a safe compression? Thanks!
Great video. Can you do a video like this one but on router tables?
Totally random, but this guy sounds just like Michael from achievement Hunter
The best advice there is ?
Most people on youtube want to sell their skill and showoff. None of them explain detail like you are doing as far as I have seen other videos.
Great video. I was considering buying the battery powered palm router with the plunge base but after watching this, going with the medium duty. Thanks!
Just, thank you.
How do u prevent the collet breaking? Or how often do u replace it? Also how hard do u tighten it around bits?
So there will possibly be a point when you'd need two beefier routers for table and by hand? or do they detach from the table easy enough to just swap back and forth.
obviously it would depend user to user.
This must’ve been pre Biden, costs are more. I’ve been trying to get into some woodwork but prices are crazy
Great advice and explanation of how to use plunge base! Thank you!
Great vid. The 3rd router vid I've seen, but the only one that answered my questions
Thank you for being my go-to person for tools and knowledge dude! Keep up the awesome work!
I know the standard advice with bits is to buy a basic set and see which ones you use the most, then upgrade those. But Have a basic Ryobi set and it doesn't include spiral up cuts or down cuts; and the bearing for a flush trim is suspect. I am adding the Dewalt to my Christmas list this year to replace my old, underpowered Black & Decker and would lit too out fit with a few high quality bits to start off with so I can do some basic template work and routing, like routing grooves for t-track. I also plan to upgrade shortly after that to get a router table and lift. Do you have a recommendation on the most basic bits that meet most everyday project needs? (I checked Bits & Bits and they don't have a basic "starter kit." which would be nice. Thanks.
Bill
P.S. Lovin' your apron.
I've been desperately searching router and brass bushings set which is suitable for making various inlay projects. I wonder which is better
I uh.. Came here for networking. I ended up in tools…
Nice vid. Really helpful
I love my Bosch 1617 router that’s 2 1/4hp it’s got a micro adjustment in the fixed base that can be used in a router table without needing a lift like the triton
great presentation, thanks. straight to the point.
By far the best all round Newbie Router vid I’ve watched and I’ve watched a lot, cheers
the triton router is good?
Show us what you do in the "production" side of the business! It would be cool to see
This is a great video, so much info and advice. I'd have gone for a palm router first but now know to go for a medium router as my first router. Thank you.
If wanted buying those tools how can I get them , I am from Sierra Leone.
Great video.
How do i determine the speed of the router?
Just saw this video after watching a few of your other videos. Thankfully I bought the 2 1/4HP Bosch Fixed/Plunge router kit with the fancy edge guide first time around. My thinking was more along the lines of not wanting to buy the cheapest only to realize I needed more later. Glad I did after watching this!
