Summary: The Ideal Reference for Novice Router Users.
Review: My current knowledge of routers and routing techniques is very limited, but my confidence and enthusiasm has now been positively extended since I purchased this book. I have spent most of my working life in general engineering as a Fitter/machinist, so my woodworking experience is limited.
I found this book easy to read,understand and very hard to put away.
Thank you Amazon.com for your fast eficient service, I live way down at the bottom end of South Australia, but the book arrived within 10 days, well done!

Summary: Excellent book for beginner and veteran router user.
Review: Not only does this book explain/show what you need to getstarted using that expensive router you just bought, they do so in a casual very readable style with good humor. Useful reccommendations on bits, their use and their care. Lots of plans like a good bit storage box, a great free-hand router table and useful jigs to handle many router problems. I even found directions on how to dado a 1/32" layer off a desktop - now try that with your table saw! These guys have lots of experience with routers and it shows in this thoughtful book. IMHO this is the best general router book of the several others I've read (Let's hear it for Good Local Library's and for volume purchasing) and is well worth the low price.

Summary: Motivating
Review: The most motivating woodworking book I own. I bought this book to help with a couple of things I wanted to do around the house. I now have several routers and just can't stop building ... well things. Even when another tool will be more efficient I prefer the router, althought this doesn't keep me from building up my shop. If I could only send the authors my tool bills since purchasing this book (my wife despises the authors).I am a novice and my advice on the breadth and quality of techniques taught in this book should be taken lightly but so far I have been able to do all the techniques taught. They are clearly written and easy to understand. My skills have increased a thousand fold since reading this book, if not because of the information contained in the book certainly because of the motivation contained within.

Summary: This is the one!
Review: There isn't much about routers that's not covered in this book. What to look for when you're buying a router, bits, or a table. Jigs, jigs and more really clever, useful jigs. Plans for a table, fence and cabinet and many more projects. It's all in this book and clearly presented with photos and drawings. If you're totally new to routers or an old hand with them, this book will be a valuable tool.

Summary: In depth coverage of the router use
Review: This book covers every aspect of the router that you would ever want to know about! It covers both the hardware (routers, bits, jigs, plans for jigs and helpers) and techniques. The first few chapters are a must for a beginner or for an old timer to refresh their minds. The other chapters you may not need immediately (such as resurfacing with the router), but you will surely come back to the book when the need arises. Definitely the best I've seen on the subject up to now.

Summary: These guys have some good ideas.
Review: This book is certainly worth the few bucks it costs, and will give you some good ideas. It is an easy read. The authors know which way is up, and they know how to tell you. Read it twice, remember 20%, put it in your library, and refer to it often. This may be the only Router book you will need.
Pass out enough hints and you may get this as a gift from someone who has seen wooden projectiles scoot off your workbench at 500mph. :-)

Summary: This book saved me a lot of money and time
Review: This book was one of my best woodworking purchases. I had recently purchased a router and was seriously considering buying a commercial router table. Fortunately, I purchased this book first. I made both a mini-table and a larger table described in this book at a fraction of the cost of the commercial router table I was looking at. I'm also learned a lot of router techniques that have helped me enjoy my router a lot more. This book is well-written and the many pictures make this a great reference and an easy, enjoyable read.

Summary: A veritable cornucopia of router techniques
Review: This is among the best woodworking books I have ever owned. It has very complete instructions for every router operation imaginable and lots of jigs/fixture and table plans to make this a one-stop source for all router info. Also found it very readable - I have to admit I read woodworking books and manuals like others read fiction - this one is well organized and well written. Don't buy any other router manual until you have looked at this one.
