Description

Learn how to use and maintain the most versatile tool in the shop: the router. With a router you can cut precision joinery, create edge profiles, and make perfect duplicates of furniture parts. In this one-day class, you'll get hands-on training using stationary and plunge routers as well as the router table while learning essential router techniques and safety.

You will learn how to make basic cuts, including edge-forming, plunge cuts for making mortises, and making jigs for door hinges. You'll also practice the dado cut, a joinery cut essential for basic cabinetry. You'll also walk away with an improved understanding of the variety of routers available on the market and their strengths and weaknesses through hands-on experience.

This is a skills-based class, so you will not make a finished product, but instead focus on edge shaping, plunge cuts, layout of lines, and making jigs. We recommend using class time to take notes on the tools needed and best practices for making reliable jigs for accurate cuts. We encourage you to bring your portable router to class, if you have one.
