Carpentry Tips: How to Use a Plunge Router
on Apr 12th 2010
At its simplest a router is a portable tool, consisting of a very high-speed motor mounted vertically on a horizontal base plate.
The power of the routers motor determines how deep and how fast the tool can cut through wood. A low-powered router, however, can do many of the jobs a high-powered router can do, providing it does them in stages. It can make a deep cut, for example, by means of a number of shallow passes. The router, with its cutter bit operating, may be lowered into the work from above, then moved along the path to be shaped or cut, or it may move into the work from the edge. The bits are set for depth of cut by an adjustment on the router body.
