Thank you so much. I’ve just been given a plunge router for Christmas and am pleased to find that you use the same Bosch model. Your instruction is just spot on for a novice such as me. Thanks again. Tony

i now have 3 routers after having none for the first 45 years of my life. bought a cheap trend, was useless. bought a katsu, but was unreliable as bit would move slightly. got a dewalt now, and oh my word its brilliant.

Hi Thomasz, again very clear details for users. As for using the fixed base to drop in the cutter into the piece is a good call but remember that will only work, and the same for plunge bases for smaller diameter router bits as the center of the router will stop the router dropping in. You can help that by moving along the direction of the cut until it has cut its way in then you are fine but you need in both actions to be very carful it does not kick.

My new Dewalt DCS604 couldn’t grip 1/4 inch bits…then I saw it had an 8mm collet. I was about to be dismayed, but checked the parts bag and found it had come with the 1/4” collet too…result👍

The standard for smaller routers is 6mm/8mm, many routers accept both sizes.

The bigger the shank on the router bit, the slower it rotates

No idea if it is true, but I'd read that the larger bit can dissipate heat better, meaning that bits will run cooler and last longer.

Good video again. Thanks for sharing. But why do you use fractions of inches? Did you take your routers from England to Poland?

Thomasz, I'm confused, you seem to be saying (and have shown at 4m:54s) that the Bosch POF 1200 can take a half-inch bit. I looked closely at this router before buying one, I didn't buy the Bosch as I believe it takes a maximum size of 8mm. Would you please clarify and confirm whether this router can take a half-inch bit.
