How to use a router
How to use a router for decorative edge cutting tutorial and video. Aren’t you excited???? I am!
I’m getting a bit creative in the editing department…so Scorsese, watch out!!
Below is a photo of the router bits where you can see the different size of the little wheels. Interesting…right? I have ordered many of my router bits from Woodworker’s Supply. They show well the decorative pattern you get with the different type of bits. I started ordering from them before the internet was the place to order! I am not affiliated with Woodworker’s Supply and they only would know me from having ordered from them.
Here’s the two buttons to push to start it up.
Here’s the lock and unlock used to hold the spindle steady while I figure out righty tighty, lefty loosey!
Here’s the contraption I set up to keep the sawdust out of my camera while videoing {wow, that’s a word!} the router cut.
Keep an eye out for that board in the video, It will show up in a completed project!
Now here’s my disclaimer.
