Colin, question, what if the push block isn’t 90%? Can you make a quick video on why it needs to be 90%? Thanks in advance.
PLEASE ELPLANE WHY NOT USE MITER GAGE WITH FENCE
I’ve used hot glue to mount a ragged piece of wood to a straight-edged sacrificial wood piece and used my table saw or a trim router to create a straight edge. Once done, the joint is fairly easily peeled off and the hot glue can also be peeled off with no marks. Just have to make sure the ragged piece is well-seated and parallel to the sacrificial surface.
Same idea works with planing small pieces. Stick them to a large wooden support. Just make sure there’s enough glue to hold it securely.
Thanks for the tips!
Excellent tips 👍
Hi Colin – great tips. On the rabbiting bits part where you are enlarging the hole, I didnt do this and was injured. Admittedly, Im a severe novice and while I have the utmost respect for the router and the damage it can do, apparently I didnt have enough. Luckily, nothing was permanent. We’ll just leave it at that! My question is this. The reason you are using the rabbiting bit is because trying to use a normal bit would be too aggressive and cause the wood to bind and potentially launch? Im now pretty intimidated to use the router table. Feel much more comfortable with the router itself but after the incident, seriously considering selling it. Thanks in advance and love the videos!
I do the same thing for drill bits that you do for your router bits. I have 5 drill bits I always use in my shop. The block of wood, with the drill bits, sits next to my drill press. I labeled the block of wood to show the size of the each bit.
Great video. Looking forward to watching more.

Thanks for the tips!!
But why should one never use a miter gage in combination with a fence? I’ve done it a few times and it works great to keep long work pieces at 90°
What is the length of the router bit that you used to joint that rough wood?
Parabéns, excelente trabalho e explicações, uma verdadeira aula!
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Good information as usual. Thanks.
Good tips buddy.
Love your channel thanks for all the time effort and knowledge put into it Sir
Thank you so much for your router tips, they were all excellent, the one that really caught me eye was the simple jig made out of three pieces of scrap wood for cutting slots.
It really is going to be a must have for site work. If it gets lost, broken or "borrowed" why worry I can make another in a few minutes.
Thanks so much
Regards

Router hacks? Only wood butchers use the word "HACK!
That mortise jig is also a rabbet jig and or double.
Saludos Amigo desde Roldanillo Valle Colombia 🙏 son de gran ayuda tus muy buenas ideas ! 🙏👍
at 2:35 why dont youse a miter gauge with a fence? I am brand new to woodworking, would be great if someone could answer this for me. Enjoying this video and i love the idea for keeping the bits organized.
👍
Can make this hole smaller 😉😁
Great tips. Any idea why my bits continually want to come out of the router during use?
I thank you for sharing your expertise and experience. I have worked with wood my whole life and you still showed me some new tricks.
That’s an excellent tip for truing the edge of a board without a jointer. This is the perfect solution when I want to glue 2 boards together, and they aren’t 100% true and there’s a slight bow or dip between the 2 edges. Thanks!
Most useful idea, thank for share thise idea.
you could put small scarp of wood under the hole and then use that large circular bit center it and cut.
You awesome great job 👏 👍 🙌 😀 👌
A rubber floor mat or a full rubber floor for a shop isn’t a bad idea.
great tips
Greetings from the Southern Caribbean (Trinidad). Thank you for your Excellent videos, especially ones to do with Routers and Router Fences. I have just made my first fence, on an old but nice Delta 10" table saw. Works GOOD ! Thanks again.
I like you mate. Wish I could meet you and work, learn from you in person. Unfortunately I’m in Australia. In Melbourne, locked down…
Does anyone have a link to the bit he uses at the end? Im new with no jointer. Thank You!
I like the easy mortise jig. I use the router table to do my mortises.
Nice
Where would could I get a large quantity cnc machined wood pieces made if I don’t have an industrial cnc machine?
hi Colin is there a video on how you made your router table fence
Great tips Colin, thanks for sharing them…
thank you
The tip about making a mortise: I was taught not to use the flat of the router base against the guide fence as any rotation will misalign the bit. If you use the round side and the base rotates it will not alter the distance from the fence
That blowing out a Cornhole sized hole from any one that a flush trim will fit in, sorry any that you can get a rabbet in. Is great.
Most people: "Where can I find spalted wood?"
Colin: (uses spalted wood as scrap for a router demo)
😉
👍👍👍 ❤ The tips! Sub’ed
Thanks for your time and expertise!
We can use drillers too like routers
Love the Watch! and good video
Great tips every time! Thanks
Thanks Colin. Good stuff here.
I just got a router table a few weeks ago and I’m learning. Watching a lot of your videos. Can you explain "why you don’t use a miter gauge when using a fence", please and when you can use one. Thanks!
