Thank you great video. Corrie South Africa

Great, I'm new to routers. informative and clear positive instruction for beginners.1 point, when changing the bit on any moving tool you should mention to unplug before doing this.😁😁😁👍

Hi Justin
Thank you for putting up this video. It is beneficial precisely for beginners 😊

Great video for beginners like myself. I have a router though I have not used it yet. So, when you use a router you go in a left to right direction and a router table would be right to left since the router is inverted.

Great video, thanks 👍

Great video! Very helpful! Thanks a lot!

Well done mate !

Really helpful. Many thanks 👍🏼

Amazing beginner tutorial to using routers. I only wish this guy was my neighbor or something so he could teach me hands on how to do some projects lol.

I want to learn how to use a router. Will be looking out for more videos

Just bought a router and found this a great help. Many thanks.

I got a second hand Metabo router. Hope to use it soon. I must say that those woodworking tools give fantastic opportunities but I find them scary as I learned I'm not the most lucky guy. I'm going to watch the video several times before my first attempt and I'm going to get myself some sturdy protective gear. I don't think I ever going to buy a table saw.

your explanation is wonderful sir. thanks

Spot on my friend … I’m an enthusiastic amateur who loves trying new things and your vid has just made my life a lot easier , can’t thank you enough , cheers mate 👌

Advice for newbies, just like a saw, it is safer to not move the router until it stops spinning, plunge routers are beneficial for this ability. Fixed base and stopping- he laid it with moving bit facing him, I would advise laying it outward. This is why a clean space is best.
A on/off pedal is a great add.

Thank you. Your tutorial has helped me 🙏👍

Great video. You did a very good of explaining router use for newbies like me.

Thanks, your video was helpful

Thanks, very helpful.

Good guide but it would be wise to mention to make sure the plug is out at the beginning of the video before you start to touch the machine

Very good clear explanation

Hi Justin, many thanks for this clear tutorial video. Wish you best of luck at all times.

Thanks Justin. Excellent guide.

I almost bought this same router but went with the Hercules instead. I've been looking for a good video for basics and this is perfect. I'll definitely recommend it.Thanks for sharing from Oklahoma, usa

Hi Justin, great Vid.
I`m sure you know this but just in case, the first demonstration what you shown where you use the Router on the flatside up against your Guide.
You can do it that way, but then, you always have to push against your Guide and keep it straight for the whole cut.
If you where to use the Curve on the Router against your Guide, your Line will be Perfectly straight without worrying to keep it flat on the Guide.
If by any chance you didnt know this, try it out. 👌🤟

Great video, well done, thank you.

Great video

Great video.

THIS is the tutorial I’ve been searching for, a true beginners video, so many others assume you already know some stuff, and leave you with questions, and frustrated, I am feeling confident now to begin routing! Thanks heaps

Thanks Justin! I love that you get straight to the "point" and don't spend a lot of time explaining this or that. I've been doing a couple of things with my router, but it just didn't seem like I was doing something right. The last part about the direction of the router....THAT was what I needed to hear...thanks!

You the best. Bring more please. ❤

what bit would i need to cut of front edge of a scaffolding board would a straight bit be ok or do i need a slot bit with a nearing
