So I picked up my dad’s woodworking tools (3years after his passing) from his business to get the job done. I didn’t realize how much technique there was to every tool he used. He made it all look so easy. I wish I had learned when he was still with us, but all these articles are a big help.

I retired several years ago and always wanted to do woodworking. I have done things in some ways reverse of most people. I have studied and bought the tools buying intermediate grade tools. I have virtually everything except a lathe. Now I need to learn how to use the tools properly. I look forward to reading and watching what is offered with the tool that intimidates me the most and I know the least about, the router

Hello Jason,

Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

Always feed your work piece in such a way that the feed direction opposes the rotation of the router bit. As you are looking down at the router bit on a router table, it is rotating counter clockwise.
Paul

Please let us know if you have any further questions
Sincerely,
Sarah
