It is said that when you place your workpiece on the router table, it is a piece of wood, and when you remove it from there, it is a piece of furniture. A Bosch or Bench dog router table can be a professional tool for any woodworker.
A router table can be a handy magic wand for producing top-notch furniture or wood crafts.
The services that a router table provides are too many to list here. But a few are worth mentioning:
– Offers modifiable edge profiles
– Can track templates
– Slot and slot cutting
– Ideal for making precious woodwork.
– Manufacture of doors (raised panel)
– Rounding of wood
– Comes in many different sizes as a workbench.
– Different types of router bits are cheap
– Router table can be easily made, but table saws are hard to make.
– Many accessories are available with routers to make countless projects easier.
Router bits can do magic. You don’t need to have 50 different cutting or gouging devices in your shop. If you have a simple Bosch or Bench Dog router, a router table, and have purchased 20 bits, that’s all you need to make many different types of cuts simply by changing bits. Routers can be used for many tasks such as:
biscuit woodwork
Face Framing Bits
box seals
laminate cutout
Locking bolsters for strong joints
rounding
finger stamps
tongue and groove joints
dovetail joinery
biscuit woodwork
And much much more
Routing on a table is preferred for ease of use, and helps you keep your shop or job site clean and coordinated. When the workplace is clean and tidy, it will make your work satisfying and also improve your performance.
How do router tables make things cleaner? Simply by accepting dust collectors. I personally like to use portable dust collectors with my routing table. They are great for removing saw dust as the router is being cut.
Speaking of my personal router table and bits, I have everything I need, right at my fingertips with a cabinet under my router table that has plenty of drawers. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to keep all those Allen keys, small knobs, collar wrenches, and speed controls in one place. You, too, can keep things bundled up and ready to go by keeping your tools stored in a cabinet under the table.
Searching the net will help you find what is available for your router table needs. Do some research, learn about the products, and choose the right one for your projects. To name a few, Bosch router tables and Bench Dog router tables are among the best quality tables available on the market today.
