One MAJOR THING that you should be aware of and mistakenly said in this video. When putting the bit into the router, DO NOT put the bit in all the way until it bottoms out. When you do that and then tighten the collet, the collet does not have room to fully tighten on bit. Bottom the bit out and then back it out about an eight of an inch. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE OF HAVING A BIT FLY OUT WHILE USING MY PALM ROUTER!! Luckily the bit came out and flew across the garage, putting a couple gouges into a garbage can before bouncing off the garage door and landing on the floor. The only warning was that the router had a slight vibration for only about a second before it spit the bit out. I was VERY LUCKY that it did not come back at me.

Yup, I was cringing when he did that. For that round over one too (3:20), he should've made SURE to say not to push it in too far, because the collet could (only) be gripping the flared portion...yikes!

@nagamendo5655 22 күн бұрын

8:30 Rather use the round side of the router base than flat side. When using the flat side any rotation of the router will push the router bit away from the guide line. In your case, your slot/hole will not be straight. On the other hand, when using the round side of the router base, it does not matter if you rotate the router as long as the round side of the router base stays at the guide. The cutting line will stay straight anyway. Great video! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

@freethinksman4393 12 күн бұрын

I just picked up a router at a yard sale. I have always wanted one, but knew nothing about how to do what I already knew they were capable of. After devouring as much info as I could on KZfaq, I bookmarked this video. I don;t know what's missing either, but it sure seems comprehensive. I have to admit I'm a bit scared of it now, but I suppose it'll give me respect for the dangers. I can't wait to use it!

@edblough4134 24 күн бұрын

1/2 inch shank tends to vibrate less than 1/4 inch reducing chatter. Also I never set a bit against the stop, on some routers when you do this you cannot tighten as tight as possible. I always seat the bit and lift it about an 1/8 inch or so so when tightening so the collet can clinch down all the way.

@richtomlinson7090 15 күн бұрын

Correct. I learned the hard way, when i was young and I put a 1/4" bit in my dads craftsman router, and it loosened, but didn't fly out. I work in a millshop, and everyone is told the correct way, over and over until they can be trusted. We've had big bits hit the ceiling before, luckily nobody was in the way. In a Corian shop, you get to know routers quite well.

@barryirby8609 24 күн бұрын

Thanks, very good. Two little things to add... Don't insert a bit all the way to the bottom and tighten the collet. The bit can get locked in and be very difficult to remove. And some collets need to be loosened and then unscrewed even further to turn the bit loose.

@davidslack2164 23 күн бұрын

@@Willybeanmcgraw go look at 3:15 in the video. Look at where the shank meets the cutting portion of the round over bit. You’ll notice it flairs out a little as it meets. If that bit is seated all the way down your Collette will grab the flair and not have full hold of the shank. Potential for the bit to come out if that’s the case. I’m sure there are other reasons not to seat it all the way but that is my main reason.

@michaelpatrick6950 23 күн бұрын

Also if it’s bottomed out, in some collets it can prevent the collets from locking properly. Insert it to the bottom then pull up a 1/16”(about).

Here in Europe you must stay alert when buying bits, we have 6 mm , 1/4" , 8 mm, 12 mm and 1/2" bits My Makita 18v router takes 6 mm and 8 mm bits, my Bosch 12v router takes 6 mm and 1/4" bits .

@robertnewell5057 21 күн бұрын

So true. This is a great video. A router is actually a very dangerous tool which usually comes with minimal instructions. Some of them (including high end ones) have pour design for such basic activities as changing the bits or collets. Dust extraction is always hopeless. I've been using them for about 40 years, but when I started I didn't know a thing and there was really no help out there. I consider myself very lucky. Finally, safety glasses and respirator always the top tips.

Awesome video as always! One thing I’d love to see addressed in beginner router videos is the proper way to set up the plunge feature. Everyone seems to gloss over the set up or go through it quickly. Even the directions that come with the router aren’t thorough. When I got my Triton it was so frustrating as I understood the basics but had so much trouble dialing it in! I know new plunge users would appreciate a clear tutorial on the setup!

@ghosthand8119 19 күн бұрын

I made one of these mistakes today while cutting out a sink hole in a counter top. After cutting the sides with a circular saw I used the router to cut the rounded corners with a 1/4 inch straight bit. I tried to cut all the way through and after burning my way through a half inch of it I stopped and decided to just make multiple passes at shallower depths. Worked much better! One thing you did mention but I don't think you stresses enough is going the right direction when routing. Most of your tips are great for someone setting up a shop with jigs and routing tabes and such. Most beginners/ amateurs buy a router for small projects or worksite jobs so most are using them freehand and direction makes a world of difference.

A tip I give to new users is, when putting a bit in the router(round over, trim, molding ETC) do not push it right down,as there is a curve on the shaft and they have been known to come loose.To cut that out,I always use a rubber ring washer (same size as the shank) so it never happens

@richtomlinson7090 15 күн бұрын

Also, the fact that the tapered collet needs to have available room to tighten inwards, and if bottomed out, no more movement to tighten. So basically there are several reasons to watch how far the bit is put in. The small radius at the business side, interfering, and the bottoming out, that reduces tightening.

I saw somewhere that you aren’t supposed bottom out the bit in the collet because as you tighten the collet it draws down. If the bit is already at the bottom it may not be able to move down enough to get as tight as it should be and could slip a little.

@robbywright6010 24 күн бұрын

Good video, Lots of info in a small package. A couple of comments:. Because most routers use a tapered collet to hold the bit, the bit is drawn downward when the collet is tightened. If the bit is on the bottom of the collet hole, the collet can't be completely tightened and the bit can come out during use. I have a box that proves this point. You can see the botched groove where the bit came through the side because it wasn't tightened correctly. Always have the bit at least 1/8 inch from the bottom before tightening. 1/4 inch is better. Tightening the bit hard when bottomed can also cause it to jam in the collet and be extremely hard to get out. Thanks for the good work!

Thank you, very helpful. I have been using a router for awhile but never knew all the bits and their uses. Definitely getting a flush trim and a dovetail but.

I added the M18 FUEL to the lineup yesterday! It's small, & powerful. I threw my 6.0 on, & I was good!

Hey thanks for showing that beginning clip with the wood flying off.. I was always told to be super wary of them but nobody showed why. Good work.

Great video. I am a little intimidated by routers as I am relatively new to this. You articulated what I need to know well. Thank you

My plunge router has been the best buy of the year for me. I bought a second hand Festool plus multipoint lock template to install a single multipoint lock on a front door. I did the one door, bought a lock template and standardised 11 old doors to accept modern, standardised locks instead of the four-or-so different sizes from half a century ago. I trimmed flush some wood that held glass in place (glazing bead?). Cut a hole for ventilation so tight it's a press fit. Cut the holes in a countertop so neat as if they were from the factory. etc etc. Looking back there are more things I could've used it for. Earlier in the renovation we removed glazing beads using a oscilating saw and man... The ammount of sanding and filler we had to use to have that look respectable again... 😅 Next on the list is probably a template to install hidden hinges and a few cabinet hinges for a swing-down ceiling in a closet. I absolutely love my router and I haven't even scratched the surface of making visible edges pretty! 😁
