Intro to the Router

Look around the room, you will see many things that were made with the help of a Router. From countertops to picture frames to art, cabinets, furniture and more. A Router is probably the second most versatile tool in the woodshop only behind the table saw. This class is a detailed look at this versatile tool and many of its capabilities.
