A router is a power tool used to trim, shape, or cut wood. It is primarily designed to hollow out or “route” an area in wood.
I use a Dewalt trim router. I will point out the features and parts of this router. If you have a different brand, the parts may look or operate differently, but their function remains the same.
– Hold the spindle lock button. – Insert the bit into the collet. It should be inserted deep enough to be secure but not so deep that the shank touches the bottom of the collet.
Hold the router firmly. With a trim router, you can use only one hand. Be sure to keep the other hand out of the router’s path.
