Product Description
More than 10 years after its original publication, this clear and accessible guide continues to serve woodworkers of all skill levels with a comprehensive offering to the router and its many uses. Packed with the techniques and tricks needed to unleash the router's incredible potential, this manual includes the best ways to cut decorative edgings and moldings, surface wood and joint edges for glue-ups, shape furniture parts, and cut curves, circles, and ovals. With chapters on how to make cope-and-stick frames; raise panels; and cut strong, practical joints of all kinds—including dadoes, rabbets, laps and half-laps, dovetails and sliding dovetails, and mortise-and-tenon—this updated full-color offering complements each step-by-step, instruction-based exercise with hundreds of large, clear photos and drawings that teach crafters about using a router safely and productively.

 Something for everybody; a most useful router accessory. December 8, 2000

More so than any other single tool, jig, fixture, or accessory in your shop, this book helps you solve problems and get the job done. Starting with the basics of selecting and using routers and bits, you'll believe by the time you're halfway through this book that the router can do every job all your other tools do. By the time you finish the book, you'll understand how to do it all for yourself. The reason is simple: a router is simply a powerfully driven bit that be be guided with great precision. Bill Hylton taps into its potential by exploring the various ways to hold and guide it, performing jobs normally associated with other tools, as well as the exciting and mundane traditional routing jobs. Whether you're a beginner or expert with a router or woodworking, this book has something of value for everyone. It is well illustrated with photos and line drawings, bringing life to Bill's clear and easy to read writing style.
Best of numerous books on Routers June 25, 2002

I bought this book when I was new to woodworking and read it cover to cover. Completed a couple projects inside and now keep it around for reference on jigs, manipulations etc. I think this is the best of the router books currently available. It has info on every relevant topic including how to use a router for different types of cuts, making jigs for specail applications, explanations of bits including history, detailed plans for tables, jigs, etc. The best part of this book is its organization. As explanations of a certain type of use are covered, side bars are used to explain important related information like how to prevent an undesired effect, a safety consideration or an explanation of bits used. I highly reccomend this book to beginners and experienced woodworkers alike.

I am an absolute beginner having just bought my router and table this week. I knew I could make nice edges on wood projects but I never new of all the other great effects I could do with the router until I read this book. It covers all the basics, as well as some advanced techniques, and has all the necessary jig designs a beginning woodworker needs to become very effective with the router in a short amount of time. I would call this the "Routers Bible" and recommend it 110%. If you only get one book on routers, then it better be this one.
Excellent book for beginner and veteran router user. May 26, 1996

Not only does this book explain/show what you need to get
started 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.

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.
