In this video, we're going to put all that to ease for you so you feel comfortable when using your router or picking out router bits. We're going to cover the basics of router bits, which router bits I think you should buy first. We're going to give you some safety tips and tricks so this doesn't happen to you because that's scary and then also I'll give you a couple of recommendations on routers that you might want to start with. Let's go. The basics of router bits. When you start looking to buy router bits, the are endless. There's so many different designs and sizes. Which one do you pick? What do you start with? Well, first off, you have to know which type of router bit, your router will accept. If you don't have a router, recommendations later but we're going to start off with what these are normally called as trim or palm routers. These are the small, typically cordless but there are corded models like this Makita that only will accept one-quarter-inch shanks. Now, what is a shank? All the shank is the piece that slides into your router it's either going to be quarter inch or half inch for most people in the US if you have one of these small router there's a 99% chance it's only going to take a/ 4 inch shank so you're telling me there's a chance if you have a bigger router say like a plunge base or one of these fixed base routers from DeWalt or even Bosch or any other brand that has bigger routers they typically will accept half and quarter because there's a collet that you can switch out now what is a collet. A collet is simply an insert that goes into the router that will size down or up depending on the shank size. For instance, this Bosch router and DeWalt router come with both of those collets so you can use either size bits. That's very handy to have. So, if your router accepts the half and quarter, why would you choose the half over the quarter? Well, there's a few reasons why you might want to do that. Number one, the bigger diameter shank will allow more surface area to be tightened down so there's less chance of that router bit slipping out of the collet. Well, that is very rare if installed properly which we'll talk about with the quarter inch is just less likely to happen on the half because there is more surface to grab a hole also the half inch shanks are less likely to break or shear or anything like that because they are so thick or sometimes certain bits in the quarter inch size may shear or break more easily than the half inch half-inch shank bits will also remain cooler in certain cut and operations versus a quarter inch because there is more surface area being used to cut the material now installing the bit in the router first things first you remove the battery or you unplug it you don't want any power going to that thing when you're messing around that bit because you don't want to accidentally hit the switch this is the collet it goes inside there it's probably already pre installed in your router unless you're swapping out the half and the quarter you want that seated in there and then you're going to put on this nut that goes on top now when you put the router bit in the router you want to make sure that you get a decent amount of this router bit in there and before you tighten it down what you don't want is to barely put it in there and then tighten that down because then you're going to worry about that coming out. So, make sure you get it fully seated. Some of these will seat. In other words, you'll feel it seat in there and then you can tighten that down with the supplied wrench that comes with your router. Typically, there's a button that will lock that from turning and then you will be able to tighten that down. On other bits such as this one, you'll see that it's much shorter. You also want to make sure you get it far enough in there that you can tighten down on that as well. We can adjust the height of this in just a minute. Now, you don't want to just over tighten this bit Just make sure it's very snug. One thing that you should know about router bits is there is a cutting direction on them. They all cut round like a saw blade so you have to think of this as a mini saw blade. You will notice that on all router bits, there are cutting teeth or there is a cutting edge on there that will have to cut the wood. We'll cover why that's important in just a few minutes but you do want to inspect these router bits periodically and make sure none of these edges are broken, chipped, or anything like that because it can happen from time to time especially if you run into a nail or even sometimes a knot. If you're using less quality blades, it may chip or break them and you don't want to use a router bit that has a crack or split in it or even missing teeth. You'll also notice some router bits have these round pieces on here. That is a bearing that spins independently of the blade and what that does is allow you to use patterns or trim flush the edge of things which will cover in a few minutes. So, this would be a bearing because it's on the top of the bit. This will be a bottom bearing because it's near the bottom of the bit. Then, you may have these that have bearings on each end. Now, obviously, there's tons of different router bits out there but I think there's five very important router bits that every woodworker should buy and we'll tell you about those. First and foremost, every woodworker should own a round over bit. This is the most basic of bits. You can do so much with these. I've used them for, this is the first router bit I ever used was a round over bit. Most woodworkers are going to have an eight-inch round over and a three A inch round over and then sometimes you may get a half inch round over typically I only use the eight and 3 8s the eighth inch will give you a nice smooth edge almost any project so like cutting boards or anything like that when you think about round over bits they're just breaking the sharp edge of your material so if you're making a cutting board or a mallet or security board or a table top and you just want to knock the sharp edge off of it that's where you going to use a round over it's going to give it a nice clean smooth look but depending on how big the radius of that videos and it just changes the look of it. If you're using an eight-inch rounder, you're going to have very small rounded edge on there. If you use a three 8, you're going to get a much bigger rounded edge. I like to use 3 eight say on mallets. That just gives it a nice round edge on there. It looks really nice. On typically on table tops and things like that. I'll use a eight inch or something very small. Now, if you just barely want to put a rounded edge on there, I have this miniature set that puts like a sixteenth inch round edge on there. Those are really nice if you're doing trays and things like that. Now, Roundover bits can also other than doing a round over can put what I call a profile on top. It's like it's flat and then it has a 90-degree drop and then it rounds over and that just gives a really unique look especially the table tops. I use this all the time when I was building farmhouse end tables and coffee tables to give it just a nice custom look without having to buy another bit like an OG bit or an OG bit. These things kind of put a similar profile on there but the router bit does also do that as well. So, you don't have to actually go out and buy one of these. If you've got a router bit, this will give you a slightly different look versus the round over but to get the job done, less money. I use the round over. Typically, all of these routers have some type of adjustment either a spin ring or some of these others have a thumb adjustment that will basically gear driven that moves this router base. This is called the router base up and down. On round overs and champers, you want to adjust the height of that bit so that it's exactly even with that squared off part right there on the edge so we need to move this up to get a nice rounded edge and then make a test cut on a scrap piece so that you can tell if it's going to cut right because sometimes you'll set it and you think it's right and you have a little line there that you don't want on there you want a nice rounded edge same thing with your chamfer bits you don't want it to dig in too much you want it to be a nice chamfered edge and not have it all messed up so use a piece of scrap to get that first cut then you can adjust from there up or down The next router bit I think every woodworker should have is a champer bit. Most beginner woodworker should just not worry about getting all different sizes. Just get a good 45-degree chamfer bit like this one here. This is a really nice size. It puts a really cool looking, basically a 45degree angle on the edge of a project. So, if you want a more of a kind of a modern look on something, that's where I think these chamfer bits are coming in handy and a chamfer bit literally just means it's putting a chamfer or a angled edge on the product versus round over bit that puts a round edge so this is more of a squared off look but it's at a 45degree angle, so I guess it's not square but you know what I mean it goes it just puts a 45degree angle on there that's where I think the champer bits come in handy there's another bit that I think every woodworker should have called a straight bit now straight bits come in a variety a variety of different sizes and uses for the most part a straight bit is just that it's absolutely straight there's no bearings on there it doesn't curve It doesn't have a chamfer. These are for cutting slots and holes in wood. So, if you're building jigs or you just need to make a basic cut a line in the middle of a board like I'm doing here, that's where a straight bit comes in. Now, the depth in which you use these straight bits matter. As a rule of thumb, should not be cutting deeper than your bit is wide. So, this is a quarter-inch shank bit. So, I would never want to cut deeper than a quarter inch in each pass. So, that's why you may people using plunge router to basically step down on the cut so they take less material at a time that's going to keep this bits cooler heat is the enemy of sharpness on any blade or bit so if you get this overheated you're going to lose that sharpness much faster than you would using them normally and also they become more brittle etc if you get them too hot now straight bits are also use for cutting just slots in wood so if you're installing table top fasteners which is a great use for a straight bit anytime you just need to basically create a slot in the wood that's where going to use these straight bits. Now, you can also use straight bits to cut grooves or datos. So, basically, a data is if you're going to be putting two pieces of wood together, you'll have a slight cut the exact thickness of the wood and then that wood is going to slip into that data. So, you think about box joints. If you want to make a box that has those nice square joints where they go together, it's a data joint really. A groove is very similar. You just cutting all the way through the wood. So, think about if you're putting T track in a workbench like I did here. I use a quarter inch straight bit for that to cut those grooves so that that T track laid exactly in that three/ 4 inch wide gap and speaking of when you hear 3/ 4 inch straight bit what that means is the size of that's going to cut so here we have a quarter inch straight bit beside a 3/ 4 inch bit this quarter inch bit will cut a quarter inch wide hole or groove where this will cut a 3/ 4 inch wide so depending on what size groove you need cut this is which size of these bits you would use you can see that there's kind of a different something different going on here this is a down cut bit there's downcut there's upcut and then there's compression now what's the difference in that well compression bit is basically cutting both ways you see how the grooves are going one way and then they meet in the middle then they go the other way when this bit is spinning it will literally be basically cutting in two different directions or shearing the wood in two different directions where the straight this downcut bit when you spin to the right just like it's going to spin in your router you can see the grooves are funneling down or if you grab a hold of it which I don't grab it too too hard because it will cut you because those are actually sharp you'll feel your finger move down the bit where it's an upcut bit when it spins to the right it pulls your fingers up or you'll see it kind of everything moves up toward the base of the bit now up cut and downcut depending on what product you're using I think most people most people would just do better with a downcut bit what that is is basically you're cutting down into the wood so you're going to see less tear out on top if you're using an upcut bit you're going to get more tear out on the top of the of the product versus on the bottom of the product a compression bit like this might be the best of both worlds you see it's kind of it's got the compression on the end and then it's an upcut after that so what that's going to do is give you a good clean cut if you're plunging through the wood it will give you a clean cut on top and a clean cut on bottom you don't have to worry about it splintering and things like that the next bit every woodworker should have especially beginners are flush trim bits or pattern bits you may make here them called and those are the ones with those bearings on there like we talked about earlier make or buy patterns like this this is like a well board pattern from a friend over at All Red Woodworks he made this pattern out of just basically acrylic you cut this out you can buy this as well different shapes and sizes check out Crafted Elements. com they have a bunch of different patterns such as this dog tag patterns really cool they have a different shape boards where that really does help is all you have to do is double stick tape that to your wood so if you just have a piece of walnut or maple or you've glued up a piece then you can take that pattern and use this pattern bit or flush trim bit to ride along that pattern and cut that shape out that makes batching things out extremely fast so you can have four or five or six of the same product for sale using this pattern bits it makes things a lot faster now if you do use a pattern bit on a product you want to make that you've cut down that product to a bit about a eight inch wider than no more than an eight inch wider than your pattern because if you get too much outside the pattern when you're cutting that's when you could cause kickback like you see here but that's not the only reason that was given me kickback we'll talk about in a few minutes in the safety section now you want to make sure that you get good quality ones you don't want them to be too thin but these are really nice and this come from crafted well this one come from Crafted Elements there's two here in the bits I think you should have. I love Dovetail bits. I think these are some of the most handy bits especially for beginners because you can build all sorts of cool jigs and work holding with the micro jig system. I love this system. All you have to do is get this dovetail bit and then you just make products such as my jointing jig. It was very easy to make this. Literally takes you five or 10 minutes to make this jig then you can join the edge of boards, taper boards, etc. Also use it on my cross-cut sled where I have clamping on the sled router dovetails in your workbench and then you've got clamping and work holding on your workbench now if you make a lot of cutting boards and things like that some of you may want to get what we call a bullnose bit now these bits are really good for cutting juice grooves and you know that they're rounded on the bottom and so that's going to put that nice round groove in there so that maybe a good option for you if you're doing cutting boards with Juice Grooves there's a four-piece router bit set that I think is the perfect router bit set for most beginners it's not a cheap set of bits in other words they're going to last you a very long time but the value you're getting at this price point is excellent and that's the Whiteside four piece router bit set you get two of the Flush Trim Bits one top bearing one bottom and then you also get a champer and a round over bit this will get you through most of your products starting out and then maybe pick up a quarter inch straight cut bit if you want to cut slots and things like that that's the kit I think most people should buy starting out but Bosch also has a pretty good set a little less expensive and you get 10 bits this one for about $65 now I think the white side bits are better personally but the Bosch is a good starter set if you're worried about okay what if I mess up something or what if I've damaged the bit I don't want to break the bank on a bit and so I want to make sure that I get the best bang for the buck and starting out this Bosch set might be right for you a good rule of thumb for router bits especially if you have a variable speed router in other words you can turn the speed up and down you'll typically see that on the side or the top side of your router where it goes one to six usually or something like that. So, what that means is it's slowing or speeding up the speed at which is spinning that router bit and that is very important on certain styles of router bits. Now, round overs and chamfers typically, I run those at about a speed five, four, or five. Uh you don't really need to spin those extremely fast to get the work done but on your flush trim bits, it matters a bunch. In general, the bigger the bit, the slower you're going to spin your router. The smaller the bit, the fast you can spin your router. In this instance, I had the bit spinning at full speed as fast as the router can spin it and as soon as I touch the wood to the bit, I got a kickback and that can be very dangerous if your hands are in the wrong spot because it can pull, it can literally pull your hand into that spinning bit. You do not ever want to spin it that fast. Just slow it down and then also make sure we're talking about those patterns, you want to make sure that you don't have a bunch of meat hanging over the pattern. You want to make sure that it's just about a 16th or an eighth inch away. You can do with a jigsaw, a bandsaw. Just make sure you cut around this pattern so that you get just enough that you can trim it off with your flush trim bit. If you have too much hanging over and you have the bit spinning too fast, that's where you going to see a bunch of kickback. If you're using a handheld router, there's a certain direction you should almost always rout and that is away from you. I saw this on a Craig video actually. Take your right hand and it makes the L. When you lay it on the outside edge of your board, then that's the direction you want to push the router. Router bit spinning you want to feel that push back a little bit when you're routing because if you go the opposite direction in other words to the left your router bit is spinning clockwise at this point you want that bit cutting into the wood as it's moving if you're routing around the outside edge of a piece like this it will go counterclockwise but if you go inside something like a tray picture frame etc then you will go clockwise because that's the direction of the bit on the edge that is contacting that product inside clockwise, outside counterclockwise with a handheld router that is. Now, out of all of the routers out there because there's tons. Every manufacturer has a router. Which one should you buy? Because the options are literally endless between Milwaukee and Flex and Makita, Rioby, Rigid, DeWalt, you name your battery platform or not battery platform then which router should you get? If you already have batteries on a tools. So, if you already have DeWalt batteries, you've got DeWalt drills or have Milwaukee drills etc just by the router that's in that battery platform. It'll make it so much easier. So, if you have a Ryobi battery platform, just pick up the Riobi router for your first router, you'll be perfectly happy. You can do round overs, champers, edges, small grooves, or holes for tabletop fasteners with a palm trim router, those are great for that type work. Now, if you're wanting to put in T tracks in your workbench or you want to cut Datos etc for bigger cut operations, I highly recommend stepping up to something like this to walk router or the Bosch router. These are two really nice routers. Flip a coin. I prefer the Fixed Base on the DeWalt and the Plunge Base on the Bosch. So, it depends on what you're going to do more operations of. Most people probably use the Fixed Base the most. I think the DeWalt is probably the best bang for the buck but there's no denying that that Bosch 1617 is a fantastic router and if you're wondering what do I need a plunge base for. Well, that's really good for taking small bites out of a product. So, when I was cutting a hole in my workbench to put the play button in there, you could small bites as you go around remember we don't want to cut more than a/ 4 inch deep with a quarter inch bit so that allows me to basically make quarter inch passes until I get all the way through my product if you're not in a battery platform and you just want a nice good quality trim router or palm router this corded Makita is very nice for the price and I think you'll be very pleased with this Bosch also makes one similar to this called the Colt or something but I like this Makita quite a bit if you want to know my favorite cordless router it is the Milwaukee I love this M18 cordless trim router. The DeWalt is also a very close second but I prefer the Milwaukee because it fits in the hand there. I think router is the most versatile tool in your shop. You'll use it all the time for a ton of different things. You can use them handheld like most people do. You can build stuff like this little mini router bench for bench top so you don't take up a lot of space. It'll use a trim router in there or you can build a bigger router table like I have over there in the corner that you can do bigger routing operations on but there just one of those tools that you'll use all the time in the shop. One of the nice things about having a router table if you're making a lot of boxes trays etc like I do then having something like this will really help speed things up and you get a more consistent edge especially if there's not enough meat for your router to ride on the edge of that tray this is really where these really shine I think as far as round overs and champers go they're also really good for cutting grooves and things like that in the center of a board like I did here this is very handy to have in the shop of course there's thousands of other operations use them for but that's typically what I use mine for most of the time. Now, if you get a router, there are some accessories that will make your life much easier and you'll thank me the next time you see me for telling you about these. Now, first up, bench cookies. These are my favorite workbench accessories because you could literally set your project on them. They're rubber on the top and the bottom and you can elevate it up off the surface and keep it from moving around and when you're routing boards, you don't want those things moving on you and this really does help stick them to the surface and it raises them off the surface so you have room to do your routing. Bench Cookies come in packs of four. I recommend getting two packs at a minimum. These are really nice but a lot of people also say that you can use hockey pucks for the same thing. I've never tried that but if you feel so inclined, get a hockey puck. I like bench cookies. Also, setup blocks. I love the Craig setup blocks. These are fantastic. I think they're some of the best router accessories made because you can set your bit heights extremely quickly. So, if you're wanting to route a three-eight-inch deep hole for your T track, you literally just set this on the top of your router. Set the depth and go. It's that easy. You can also use them at the table sauce that makes them multi function to set up blade heights and fence distances just all around good product and as you start collecting router bits we make these router bit trays here so if you want to look into those the link in description to those router bit trays helps you hold your wrenches your router bits etc keep them all organized that's always a win being organized big thank you to manager Chris for doing such amazing work say hi Chris also Radius Jigs are another great accessory for your router to help you get those edges rounded over this one from Craig comes with rounded edges and chamford style edges fantastic product and you can keep your hands out of the way. I really like that one as an accessory for router. I'm sure I missed something in this video. Comment below and let me know what I missed because we can't absolutely know it all and I absolutely don't but I do know a little bit and like to share that with you. I hope this was helpful. If it was helpful, please let me know in the comments that this was a helpful video so I can know to make more like this in the future. Also, if you're not subscribed, go on. Help brother out. Hit that subscribe button and if you want more information about router, I have a router basics video right there that goes over the router like we did the bits this video.

If you've got a router bit, this will give you a slightly different look versus the round over but to get the job done, less money. I use the round over. Typically, all of these routers have some type of adjustment either a spin ring or some of these others have a thumb adjustment that will basically gear driven that moves this router base. This is called the router base up and down. On round overs and champers, you want to adjust the height of that bit so that it's exactly even with that squared off part right there on the edge so we need to move this up to get a nice rounded edge and then make a test cut on a scrap piece so that you can tell if it's going to cut right because sometimes you'll set it and you think it's right and you have a little line there that you don't want on there you want a nice rounded edge same thing with your chamfer bits you don't want it to dig in too much you want it to be a nice chamfered edge and not have it all messed up so use a piece of scrap to get that first cut then you can adjust from there up or down The next router bit I think every woodworker should have is a champer bit. Most beginner woodworker should just not worry about getting all different sizes. Just get a good 45-degree chamfer bit like this one here. This is a really nice size. It puts a really cool looking, basically a 45degree angle on the edge of a project. So, if you want a more of a kind of a modern look on something, that's where I think these chamfer bits are coming in handy and a chamfer bit literally just means it's putting a chamfer or a angled edge on the product versus round over bit that puts a round edge so this is more of a squared off look but it's at a 45degree angle, so I guess it's not square but you know what I mean it goes it just puts a 45degree angle on there that's where I think the champer bits come in handy there's another bit that I think every woodworker should have called a straight bit now straight bits come in a variety a variety of different sizes and uses for the most part a straight bit is just that it's absolutely straight there's no bearings on there it doesn't curve It doesn't have a chamfer. These are for cutting slots and holes in wood. So, if you're building jigs or you just need to make a basic cut a line in the middle of a board like I'm doing here, that's where a straight bit comes in. Now, the depth in which you use these straight bits matter. As a rule of thumb, should not be cutting deeper than your bit is wide. So, this is a quarter-inch shank bit. So, I would never want to cut deeper than a quarter inch in each pass. So, that's why you may people using plunge router to basically step down on the cut so they take less material at a time that's going to keep this bits cooler heat is the enemy of sharpness on any blade or bit so if you get this overheated you're going to lose that sharpness much faster than you would using them normally and also they become more brittle etc if you get them too hot now straight bits are also use for cutting just slots in wood so if you're installing table top fasteners which is a great use for a straight bit anytime you just need to basically create a slot in the wood that's where going to use these straight bits. Now, you can also use straight bits to cut grooves or datos. So, basically, a data is if you're going to be putting two pieces of wood together, you'll have a slight cut the exact thickness of the wood and then that wood is going to slip into that data. So, you think about box joints. If you want to make a box that has those nice square joints where they go together, it's a data joint really. A groove is very similar. You just cutting all the way through the wood. So, think about if you're putting T track in a workbench like I did here. I use a quarter inch straight bit for that to cut those grooves so that that T track laid exactly in that three/ 4 inch wide gap and speaking of when you hear 3/ 4 inch straight bit what that means is the size of that's going to cut so here we have a quarter inch straight bit beside a 3/ 4 inch bit this quarter inch bit will cut a quarter inch wide hole or groove where this will cut a 3/ 4 inch wide so depending on what size groove you need cut this is which size of these bits you would use you can see that there's kind of a different something different going on here this is a down cut bit there's downcut there's upcut and then there's compression now what's the difference in that well compression bit is basically cutting both ways you see how the grooves are going one way and then they meet in the middle then they go the other way when this bit is spinning it will literally be basically cutting in two different directions or shearing the wood in two different directions where the straight this downcut bit when you spin to the right just like it's going to spin in your router you can see the grooves are funneling down or if you grab a hold of it which I don't grab it too too hard because it will cut you because those are actually sharp you'll feel your finger move down the bit where it's an upcut bit when it spins to the right it pulls your fingers up or you'll see it kind of everything moves up toward the base of the bit now up cut and downcut depending on what product you're using I think most people most people would just do better with a downcut bit what that is is basically you're cutting down into the wood so you're going to see less tear out on top if you're using an upcut bit you're going to get more tear out on the top of the of the product versus on the bottom of the product a compression bit like this might be the best of both worlds you see it's kind of it's got the compression on the end and then it's an upcut after that so what that's going to do is give you a good clean cut if you're plunging through the wood it will give you a clean cut on top and a clean cut on bottom you don't have to worry about it splintering and things like that the next bit every woodworker should have especially beginners are flush trim bits or pattern bits you may make here them called and those are the ones with those bearings on there like we talked about earlier make or buy patterns like this this is like a well board pattern from a friend over at All Red Woodworks he made this pattern out of just basically acrylic you cut this out you can buy this as well different shapes and sizes check out Crafted Elements. com they have a bunch of different patterns such as this dog tag patterns really cool they have a different shape boards where that really does help is all you have to do is double stick tape that to your wood so if you just have a piece of walnut or maple or you've glued up a piece then you can take that pattern and use this pattern bit or flush trim bit to ride along that pattern and cut that shape out that makes batching things out extremely fast so you can have four or five or six of the same product for sale using this pattern bits it makes things a lot faster now if you do use a pattern bit on a product you want to make that you've cut down that product to a bit about a eight inch wider than no more than an eight inch wider than your pattern because if you get too much outside the pattern when you're cutting that's when you could cause kickback like you see here but that's not the only reason that was given me kickback we'll talk about in a few minutes in the safety section now you want to make sure that you get good quality ones you don't want them to be too thin but these are really nice and this come from crafted well this one come from Crafted Elements there's two here in the bits I think you should have. I love Dovetail bits. I think these are some of the most handy bits especially for beginners because you can build all sorts of cool jigs and work holding with the micro jig system. I love this system. All you have to do is get this dovetail bit and then you just make products such as my jointing jig. It was very easy to make this. Literally takes you five or 10 minutes to make this jig then you can join the edge of boards, taper boards, etc. Also use it on my cross-cut sled where I have clamping on the sled router dovetails in your workbench and then you've got clamping and work holding on your workbench now if you make a lot of cutting boards and things like that some of you may want to get what we call a bullnose bit now these bits are really good for cutting juice grooves and you know that they're rounded on the bottom and so that's going to put that nice round groove in there so that maybe a good option for you if you're doing cutting boards with Juice Grooves there's a four-piece router bit set that I think is the perfect router bit set for most beginners it's not a cheap set of bits in other words they're going to last you a very long time but the value you're getting at this price point is excellent and that's the Whiteside four piece router bit set you get two of the Flush Trim Bits one top bearing one bottom and then you also get a champer and a round over bit this will get you through most of your products starting out and then maybe pick up a quarter inch straight cut bit if you want to cut slots and things like that that's the kit I think most people should buy starting out but Bosch also has a pretty good set a little less expensive and you get 10 bits this one for about $65 now I think the white side bits are better personally but the Bosch is a good starter set if you're worried about okay what if I mess up something or what if I've damaged the bit I don't want to break the bank on a bit and so I want to make sure that I get the best bang for the buck and starting out this Bosch set might be right for you a good rule of thumb for router bits especially if you have a variable speed router in other words you can turn the speed up and down you'll typically see that on the side or the top side of your router where it goes one to six usually or something like that. So, what that means is it's slowing or speeding up the speed at which is spinning that router bit and that is very important on certain styles of router bits. Now, round overs and chamfers typically, I run those at about a speed five, four, or five. Uh you don't really need to spin those extremely fast to get the work done but on your flush trim bits, it matters a bunch. In general, the bigger the bit, the slower you're going to spin your router. The smaller the bit, the fast you can spin your router. In this instance, I had the bit spinning at full speed as fast as the router can spin it and as soon as I touch the wood to the bit, I got a kickback and that can be very dangerous if your hands are in the wrong spot because it can pull, it can literally pull your hand into that spinning bit. You do not ever want to spin it that fast. Just slow it down and then also make sure we're talking about those patterns, you want to make sure that you don't have a bunch of meat hanging over the pattern. You want to make sure that it's just about a 16th or an eighth inch away. You can do with a jigsaw, a bandsaw. Just make sure you cut around this pattern so that you get just enough that you can trim it off with your flush trim bit. If you have too much hanging over and you have the bit spinning too fast, that's where you going to see a bunch of kickback. If you're using a handheld router, there's a certain direction you should almost always rout and that is away from you. I saw this on a Craig video actually. Take your right hand and it makes the L. When you lay it on the outside edge of your board, then that's the direction you want to push the router. Router bit spinning you want to feel that push back a little bit when you're routing because if you go the opposite direction in other words to the left your router bit is spinning clockwise at this point you want that bit cutting into the wood as it's moving if you're routing around the outside edge of a piece like this it will go counterclockwise but if you go inside something like a tray picture frame etc then you will go clockwise because that's the direction of the bit on the edge that is contacting that product inside clockwise, outside counterclockwise with a handheld router that is. Now, out of all of the routers out there because there's tons. Every manufacturer has a router. Which one should you buy? Because the options are literally endless between Milwaukee and Flex and Makita, Rioby, Rigid, DeWalt, you name your battery platform or not battery platform then which router should you get? If you already have batteries on a tools. So, if you already have DeWalt batteries, you've got DeWalt drills or have Milwaukee drills etc just by the router that's in that battery platform. It'll make it so much easier. So, if you have a Ryobi battery platform, just pick up the Riobi router for your first router, you'll be perfectly happy. You can do round overs, champers, edges, small grooves, or holes for tabletop fasteners with a palm trim router, those are great for that type work. Now, if you're wanting to put in T tracks in your workbench or you want to cut Datos etc for bigger cut operations, I highly recommend stepping up to something like this to walk router or the Bosch router. These are two really nice routers. Flip a coin. I prefer the Fixed Base on the DeWalt and the Plunge Base on the Bosch. So, it depends on what you're going to do more operations of. Most people probably use the Fixed Base the most. I think the DeWalt is probably the best bang for the buck but there's no denying that that Bosch 1617 is a fantastic router and if you're wondering what do I need a plunge base for. Well, that's really good for taking small bites out of a product. So, when I was cutting a hole in my workbench to put the play button in there, you could small bites as you go around remember we don't want to cut more than a/ 4 inch deep with a quarter inch bit so that allows me to basically make quarter inch passes until I get all the way through my product if you're not in a battery platform and you just want a nice good quality trim router or palm router this corded Makita is very nice for the price and I think you'll be very pleased with this Bosch also makes one similar to this called the Colt or something but I like this Makita quite a bit if you want to know my favorite cordless router it is the Milwaukee I love this M18 cordless trim router. The DeWalt is also a very close second but I prefer the Milwaukee because it fits in the hand there. I think router is the most versatile tool in your shop. You'll use it all the time for a ton of different things. You can use them handheld like most people do. You can build stuff like this little mini router bench for bench top so you don't take up a lot of space. It'll use a trim router in there or you can build a bigger router table like I have over there in the corner that you can do bigger routing operations on but there just one of those tools that you'll use all the time in the shop. One of the nice things about having a router table if you're making a lot of boxes trays etc like I do then having something like this will really help speed things up and you get a more consistent edge especially if there's not enough meat for your router to ride on the edge of that tray this is really where these really shine I think as far as round overs and champers go they're also really good for cutting grooves and things like that in the center of a board like I did here this is very handy to have in the shop of course there's thousands of other operations use them for but that's typically what I use mine for most of the time. Now, if you get a router, there are some accessories that will make your life much easier and you'll thank me the next time you see me for telling you about these. Now, first up, bench cookies. These are my favorite workbench accessories because you could literally set your project on them. They're rubber on the top and the bottom and you can elevate it up off the surface and keep it from moving around and when you're routing boards, you don't want those things moving on you and this really does help stick them to the surface and it raises them off the surface so you have room to do your routing. Bench Cookies come in packs of four. I recommend getting two packs at a minimum. These are really nice but a lot of people also say that you can use hockey pucks for the same thing. I've never tried that but if you feel so inclined, get a hockey puck. I like bench cookies. Also, setup blocks. I love the Craig setup blocks. These are fantastic. I think they're some of the best router accessories made because you can set your bit heights extremely quickly. So, if you're wanting to route a three-eight-inch deep hole for your T track, you literally just set this on the top of your router. Set the depth and go. It's that easy. You can also use them at the table sauce that makes them multi function to set up blade heights and fence distances just all around good product and as you start collecting router bits we make these router bit trays here so if you want to look into those the link in description to those router bit trays helps you hold your wrenches your router bits etc keep them all organized that's always a win being organized big thank you to manager Chris for doing such amazing work say hi Chris also Radius Jigs are another great accessory for your router to help you get those edges rounded over this one from Craig comes with rounded edges and chamford style edges fantastic product and you can keep your hands out of the way. I really like that one as an accessory for router. I'm sure I missed something in this video. Comment below and let me know what I missed because we can't absolutely know it all and I absolutely don't but I do know a little bit and like to share that with you. I hope this was helpful.

Milwaukee Loves Woodworkers More than DeWALT (I have proof) | Learn to Make $$ Woodworking For FREE: https://www.skool.com/731woodworks/about Does Milwaukee love woodworkers more than DeWALT in 2024? Milwaukee has... | By 731 Woodworks | There's no doubt that DeWalt makes some fantastic tools for woodworking and many of you agree because that's the brand you chose for your shop. However, I think Milwaukee actually cares more about woodworkers in 20twenty-four than DeWalt and I think I can prove it with these five tools but there's two that DeWalt just simply does better. Come on Milwaukee, two more and you got one. Now, the number one tool and reason I think that Milwaukee cares about you more than DeWalt is their brand-new three-inch sander. Now, I did a full review of this sander. If you want to go check it out, it's on the channel but I give you the highlights. First and foremost, it's a small three-inch detail sander. So, if you have your five-inch sander, one of these is probably what you would want to pick up next because it's great for getting in the tight spaces. So, if you're doing cabinets and boxes and drawers, things like that, this is going to be perfect as well. If you have a CNC, you need to get inside small parts. This is where this really shines and also, it does come with that interface pad. So, if you're edge profiles and things like that. It's not going to damage the edge of your project with this small sander. Now, a couple of great features about this sander is it's on the M12 platform. So, you're going to be able to use your M12 batteries. If you're not in that platform, you should be. They're amazing. It does have the LED light and it does have four speeds as well as this is a variable speed sander. So, if you pull the trigger a little bit, you're going to get a little detailed sanding. The harder you pull it, the faster it's going to spin. So, that's a really great feature as well. On top of all that, it has very good dust collection for something this small. This is one of my favorite Milwaukee purchases that I've purchased myself this year and I did purchase that myself. All these Milwaukee tools I bought myself. Before I get to number two, you can check the links in the description and the pin comment for any of the tools I talk about if you want to check them out for yourself or you can just click that shop or view products button here on the screen to shop on YouTube. Next up is this tool right here and no, this is not the packout. It's not what I'm talking about. Anyway, this is a Patreon This is the companion to the three-inch sander and this is their fine detail sander. I absolutely love this this Milwaukee tool. This is probably my favorite Milwaukee tool that I've ever bought simply because of how useful this is. I use this all the time in the shop because of how versatile it is. It has this nice, I call it a home plate design because I like baseball and it looks like a home plate. This design helps you get into the corners and tight spaces of a lot of products. This very similar to the three-inch sander has speed with the trigger it also has the four speeds buttons on top and it does come with that interface pad so you can do your edge profiles and things like that with this as well the only downside to this in my opinion is the lack of dust collection there is zero dust collection so it does make quite a dusty mess but as far as usefulness and power goes this thing will work extremely well now this is a fine detail sander this is not meant for sanding really really large projects this is meant for getting up in the corners and getting inside of boxes and trays and things like that that's where I find this the most useful now a lot of people try to compare this to an oscillating tool that's just moving side to side this is an orbital detail sander so much like your regular sander that's spinning this does orbit and so you're getting that fine orbit so getting a finer finish that's why I think this is the number two tool the number two reason why Milwaukee loves you more than DeWalt as far as I know DeWalt has absolutely zero answer for this cordless detail sanders yes you can get a fire inch random orbit sander in cordless or corded. It is by far their corded version is by far my favorite Sander for under $100 is the DeWalt but Milwaukee's Sander is also up there as far as a very good value. I did a whole video breaking that down best Sander on 100 bucks, but I don't think they have anything like this and they don't seem to be coming out with anything unless they surprise us all but currently, they don't have answer for it but Milwaukee doesn't have an answer for one of DeWalt's tools which we'll talk. The number three tool and reason why Milwaukee Loves You More Than DeWalt, they made a very, very, very good tracksaw. Now, not that DeWalt's tracksaw is bad but it is also very old as far as tools go. It's been on the market for a long time and it's kind of awkward. Well, I love the power of the DeWalt. The most powerful cordless tracksaw that I've used to date is the DeWalt and it does everything you want us to do but it's just awkward in the way that it plunges and just the just had a few quirks there and it's a 60 volt you can't use your 20 volt batteries on it it's just I don't know it is not my top pick four tracksaws on the market I did a full breakdown video on the top tracksaws on the market and the top 3 were Festool Milwaukee and Makita Milwaukee is a strong contender as one of the best tracksaws on the market for several reasons number one power and battery life you can use your M18 batteries and it will cut through most anything you wanted to to it matter if it's thicker hardwoods or sheet goods or anything and as far as battery life goes, I was able to cut a ton of plywood with this. I did a battery test with it to see how many strips I could get cut with the battery. Last a long time. You're not going to have to worry about your battery life going out on you and the main reason I like this Milwaukee is the accuracy. It doesn't have tons of deflection on it so you're going to get good square cuts when you're cutting those thicker boards and the adjustability. It is absolutely one of the best tracksaws as far is being able to adjust your depth quickly with a little push button and then also just adjusting your bevel cuts has anti tip Dust Collection is absolutely great on this tracksaw it's just one of the better tools that Milwaukee makes hands down if you buy this in the combo kit one of the great things I've loved about this tracksaw is how it's packaged it comes in this packout with a new super nice foam insert it can hold the clamps that come in that package then you also get the charger the battery the saw obviously and a inch track for less than $800. It's one of the best values for tracksaws on the market for a high-end tracksaw. Now, there are budget options out there for those that don't want to spend that kind of money but for what you get in this package at this price range and they regularly go on sale too. It's just a very, very good value. The reason I think Milwaukee cares for Woodworkers more than DeWalt when the tracksaw department. DeWalt just hasn't innovated on their tracksaw in years and years and years and this is relatively new, only about a year and a half old. At time of this filming. DeWalt needs to pick up the base here and come out with a new version of their tracksaw and then our opinions might change on that. I get questions all the time on which tracksaw someone should start with. This Festool and Makita depending on which platform you want to go with or my top three picks but this has been one of my favorite tracksaws for the last several years since I bought it actually. I've just really enjoyed having it. It also uses standard tracks so you can use different tracksaw accessories like guide rail squares, things like that so you're not getting into a proprietary track like Rigid and Riobi has. I'm telling you, if you bought this, you're not going to be disappointed. Fourth on the list, Milwaukee come out with this half inch, two and a quarter horsepower peak horsepower router this year and it is a beast. I'm talking powerful cordless router. It is a fantastic tool. Now, I really like this tool and I reviewed it. I like the fact that it does come with a plunge base and a fix base. Now, you can currently buy just the bare tool with the fixed base for three hundred and fifty Bare tool. It's kind of pricey but for a cordless router, in this power range, two and a quarter horsepower, there's just not many options to choose from on the market except maybe DeWalt which we'll talk about in a minute. The real value here is if you get both because the plunge base is where it really shines. I do like the hand grip on the fixed base. You slide your hand through it just it's very ergonomic. Feels feels really nice but I also like that plunge base. It worked extremely well. The plunge base gives you two and a half inches of consistent travel or travel you also get a six-step turret style depth adjustment and you get micro adjustment so you can really dial in the depth that you need. It also has varel speed that goes from 12, 000 to 25, 000 RPM so you get a wide range of speeds there depending on your bits needs. You also get quarter and a half inch collets and it comes with an edge guide which is always always a good bonus to have with the router and on top of all of those features, it's actually a great router. It it just has a lot of power. It powers through anything you want to throw at it. I put it the test and the dust collection is actually very good on this router there's a lot of people that will say I'm not getting a cordless router if I have to hook up dust collection to it anyway so be it but I like the cordless tools personally I would prefer to get cordless tools in the shop versus corded tools even though I can plug them in right here it's silly but I just don't like that deal with that cord all the time just makes one last thing I have to do it as far as getting in the way now don't get me wrong I think DeWalt crushes Milwaukee with two tools which we'll talk about in a minute but the fifth tool I think where Milwaukee really does better than DeWalt and why I think they like you better then the Milwaukee M18 Trim Router is by far my favorite Trim Router that I own I do have the DeWalt and I've had it for quite a while but I also have Flex Riobi Makita Rigid you can see I have several here to choose from and I grab this one every single time for a few reasons the number one reason why I like this more than the others is because of basically the grip in the hand the DeWalt as well as the which is a clone of the DeWalt if you ask me. The base on these two things are massive like as far as you trying to hold your hand around it. What happens is your hands spread out further and you're trying to do a lot of routing. You'll get a lot of fatigue there, your handles are hurting. It may sound minor but when you start using this for a lot of work, it just start your hands start cramping up. It's just unpleasant, I guess. It just fits in the hand better on the Milwaukee and that's the main reason I like it. I'm not the only one because I've heard from several of you that say the same thing about the DeWalt. Probably the Flex too but who's buying Flex? Second reason I like this Milwaukee better is the fine-tune adjustment knob works extremely well. I just like that thumb screw design versus the twist knob but that's a personal preference I know and so it's the grip I guess but I still like this better. The fact that this is so uncomfortable to hold is the reason why I mounted in my little portable router table, mini wrap, whatever you would call it. That's why this lives in there is because of how uncomfortable it is to hold and use but it works great in the before we get to the DeWalt's two tools that really dominate Milwaukee and they have no answer for yet Milwaukee Packout I know T Stack a lot of people love their T stack storage systems but they're just not as prominent you don't have that aftermarket following like Milwaukee has where they can get all these accessories and add ons and things if you so chose to do that but overall I just think the Milwaukee system works better as far as the quality of each system DeWalt versus Milwaukee I think you're fine on either one they're both very well made you don't have to worry about them breaking a lot or failing on you or anything like that. I just think Milwaukee has way more options from anything you want to store even wall storage, fan storage, shop storage, whatever you're looking for. I think Milwaukee really does do a better job there. You tell me if I'm wrong. You probably will. Two tools, DeWalt absolutely dominates Milwaukee in. Yes, I'm a Milwaukee fanboy. Yes, I'm a DeWalt fanboy. Yes, I'm a Festool fan. I just like tools and so I think everybody has their strengths and weaknesses and everyone's going to agree or disagree on what tools those are works best for you, which ones you've bought into, all that good stuff but I think while I did mention that the Milwaukee was, they loved you more because of the Milwaukee router. This is a superior plunge-based router and the reason I say Milwaukee cared more is because you get the fixed and the plunge base, this is plunge base only. This motor will not come off of this base. Of course, you can fix it in position and use it like that but you don't get that fixed base option but this does have that anti-rotation technology that shuts off. It has an overload protection on the top that let you know if you're overloading the tool which going to make your battery life last longer if you pay attention to that. It's also going to make the tool life last longer and the pit life last longer. I really do like that and as far as plunge bases go, I think this is a better plunge base than the Milwaukee. Again, the only reason I say Milwaukee likes you better is because they get the option of the fixed base as well as the plunge base and the edge guide which this doesn't come with. If you only need a plunge base and you're the DeWalt, I have a whole video on this router. It's an absolutely amazing tool and Milwaukee should've had some of these design in there is when they made it specifically the anti rotation since they already have a patent on something very similar for routers which I featured in a video think if you're comparing the DeWalt2 and 1/ 4 horsepower to the Milwaukee 2 1/ 4 horsepower it's going to come down to do you need that fixed base because if you do need the fixed base then you should probably go with the Milwaukee but if you don't and you don't really care about that and you just want a really good plunge router while I do think Milwaukee cares about you more I think DeWalt makes a better plunge router in the cordless version by far. So maybe they care about you more when you buy routers. And the number one tool DeWalt dominates Milwaukee in is absolutely the DeWalt DW735X, the planner. Does Milwaukee even have a planner? This DeWalt DW735X is by far the standard for benchtop planners. It is basically an icon now. It's been around for so long that it's easy to recognizable as soon as you see it and Milwaukee has no answer to that. You can also put that Bird Shelix head upgrade in there and just make it, it's awesome. Now, it's one of those tools that I think every woodworkers should buy in a small garage shop if the budget allows. If you're looking for the top-of-the-line benchtop planner, buy once prowlence type thing, it's going to be that DeWalt DW735X. It's just that good. Milwaukee doesn't even have a planer other than the handheld electric thing. They don't have a benchtop-style thickness planner for woodworkers. They both have table saws and miter saws and everything else that you would use for woodworking except the planner. So, I think a Swerk DeWALT really edges them out but not in a battery platform at that point so you can still buy all these amazing Milwaukee tools and just get the planner so I did. Are you looking for a game plan to help you turn your Woodworking passion into profit. I just made a step-by-step blueprint that details exactly how you can do that. Check it out. First link in the description and the pin comment. So, who do you think cares more about you? As a Woodworkers, Milwaukee or DeWalt, let me know in the comments. If you like this video, check out the full Milwaukee Router Review or the DeWalt Router Review whichever camp you're in, click in either box get you the big old virtual fist bump.
