SHOP SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Using hand or power tools improperly can result in serious injury or death. Do
not operate any tool until you read the manual and understand how to oper-
ate the tool safely. Always use all appropriate safety equipment as well as the
guards that come with your tools and equipment and read the manuals that
accompany them. In some of the illustrations in this book, the guards and safety
equipment have been removed only to provide a better view of the operation.
Do not attempt any procedure without using all appropriate safety equipment or
without ensuring that all guards are in place. August Home Publishing Company

EDITOR’S NOTE
I
t’s no secret the router is one of the most
used tools in the
Woodsmith
shop. And
with good reason — it’s hard to imagine a tool
that’s more versatile or hardworking. In this
book, we’ve collected our favorite articles and
shop projects to help you get the most out of
the number one tool in your shop.
We start by taking a look at the types of
routers that are available and what all the
features mean to you. From there, it’s on to
router bits and easy-to-build shop jigs that
will take your router work to a new level.
Then, be sure to check out the Techniques
section. You’ll find our favorite tips and
shop-tested secrets for getting top-notch
results with a hand-held router. Plus, we’ve
added a few ideas for organizing and stor-
ing your routers, bits, and accessories.
Finally, don’t miss out on all the bonus
videos, tips, techniques, and projects avail-
able to you online (see page 99 for more).
