Types of routers and their uses will be discussed in detail including setting up the routers, making-accurate cuts, and which router to use when.  Students will learn how to make fundamental cuts such as dado, groove, rabbit, and circle cutting.  Various jigs will be demonstrated.  Information will be provided for the student to make his or her own jigs.  Proper safety precautions will be thoroughly covered.  The time to make aggressive cuts and when to make the more difficult climb cut are a part of this class.  At least two-dozen “tips” will be presented and a summary handout will provide a future reference to take home.  The “Cheater” router base will be explained in detail.  Router bit choices and selections will be covered, as will bushing guides and bearing equipped bits. An elementary coverage of the router table is part of this class.  Students will be given the opportunity to make many of the cuts, but this is not a “hands on” class in the usual sense.

Students Must Bring: Personal safety equipment – Routercraft I requires eye protection.
