One of the few CZcamsrs who moves quickly AND thoroughly through a subject with appropriate pace. Almost like Izzy assumes we’re not idiots.
I liked the way you waited until the end to ask for a thumbs up and a subscription. Why anyone would ask for or give that before they’ve even seen the video makes no since to me. I never TU a video that asks for that up front, even if it was a good one. Love your channel and been a sub for years. 👍
I agree. Thank You!
'Cause I wants it NOW!
Always love, the vids, thank you @izzy swan
Great video Izzy! It’d be great if you did a video on sharpening straight bits.
Thats a good idea
You're an exceptional teacher, thank you for sharing your knowledge, as well for as the effort that goes into thinking through a clear presentation. And your personal way of being and teaching is also so respectful that it's easy to pay attention.
So nice of you
Wow! You’re such a great teacher- clear, concise and empowering! Thank you!!
You are an awesome craftsman and a great teacher. I have been watching your channel for years! Keep up the great work!
As per usual, another great informative video. We need more people like you in the teaching profession. Thank you!
The lighting and video quality seem so much better! Love it Izzy.
A SIMPLE Thank You doesn't seem to say enough! Your straight forward approach is what I appreciate the most!
Izzy,
i always appreciate your videos for great information and tips to be a better woodworker. keep up the great work!
Thank you Izzy. Straight talking with no Bull.
Clear, concise. Love the close up photos of the bits. GREAT INFO with no BS.
Much appreciated!
You are ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST!
Your delivery is straight-forward, very detailed, and explained in a manner that TEACHES a principle that can be applied elsewhere. You are a VERY good instructor, your mannerism and tone show both your passion for and knowledge of what you do, and it is inviting and encouraging to those eager to learn more and/or perfect their craft. You have a new student here... Thank you. May God continually bless, prosper, provide, and protect you and yours...Dani Dunn
Awesome video, you shared a lot of information in a clear concise presentation, thank you!
You're very welcome!
That was one of the most informative videos I've seen. You pass on important info concisely and clearly. Thank you.
Thanks Izzy! You always put a lot of effort into your videos!
Glad you like them!
Thank you, this is the first in-depth video I have seen about routers & bits!
Great stuff, Izzy. Learned a new trick with the 'spin the bit trick' to determine UC or DC.
I love the way you explain stuff and make it simple. I have a router table that I built a couple years ago and have never used it because I wasn't sure of all the bit selections. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, thank you!
Nobody beats the IZ! Straight forward, honest and to the point. Your uploads are MUST watch CZcams. Thanks for helping us!
Came to this video after watching your drill powered spindle sander video from 7yr ago - I hadn't come across your channel before - but great to see you've found your niche, great stuff, thanks for sharing it all with us!
Love the video Izzy. Stay safe
Thanks for taking the time to share brother. I hope you do more of these videos. Again, thank you
Thanks for the advice and tips. I've watched your channel a couple of times and you've always taught me a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the noobs like me.
Have a great week ahead.
Thanks again.
Great video Izzy! Thank you.
Excellent video Izzy! Even being a long time old woodworker, I still learned a few things by watching your video! Thanks & I hope that you & the crew have a very Happy Holiday Season! Be well & take care! 👍👍
Thank You happy holidays to you and yours.
Izzy, you rock!! I always learn something!! Such a helpful video!!
Thanks Izzy, you make understanding this easy! Appreciate your constant sharing.
My pleasure!
Lots of things I didn't know about router bits in this video, that were very clear and easy to understand, Thank you Izzy, for making sense out of the mine field, and thank you for sharing. Love and Respect from North London UK.
I've actually been a woodworker for a while now but only used patterns a handful of times. After watching this video I am inspired to incorporate some in my next project. Thanks for all the great content.
Always learning. Thank you
Great video, Izzy. I'm new to routers and this was very helpful. Would love to see some info on how to sharpen straight bits.
Great video, those vacuum templates are really cool!
I think you're underselling the advantages of spiral bits somewhat though. In my experience they produce much less tearout, and not just on heavily figured wood - though if it's curly maple or something similar, straight bits are virtually useless. They also tend to be significantly higher quality - better cuts when new, less likely to break, and the edge seems to stay sharp for longer. As a hobbyist, edge retention is important to me because I'm not going to spend time sharpening router bits when I could be woodworking. They can take more aggressive cuts too, more safely (less chance of kickback) which comes in handy if your bandsaw work isn't perfect when roughing out a board, or if you don't have a full shop and are roughing the peice with something harder to control like a jigsaw. Not only do they produce less tearout, they are less likely to splinter or rip chunks off when routing against the grain - and if they do, the damage is usually less severe, for the same reason that spiral cutting heads are better than straight heads on planers and jointers (less of the cutter is in contact with the wood at any given moment in time). Less chance of damaging the piece is well worth the extra cost in my view, let alone all of the other advantages. I would say if you're a less experienced woodworker, spiral router bits are simply easier and safer to use and provide more predictable, cleaner cuts, and the cost difference is negligable because you're probably replacing either type when it's too dull to cut anyway. Now, if you're running a production shop and sharpen your router bits once a week, yeah, I could see why straight bits would make more sense in some cases.
Great vid as always Izzy. Long time subscriber, love your channel. Enjoy your holidays!
Great video, learned a lot about the bits and some ideas on templates
As always, clear and concise! Every time I watch you, I go away with some new technique, facts or tips. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Really enjoyed the video, great production quality. Also, thanks for the product links and supporting the work of other woodworkers.
Thank you. Gonna check out your router templates. Love the vacumn system!
Great video. Learned alot!
This video was simple, effective communication! Thank you so much. Love the templates as well, really cool!
Thank you. knowing the directions and terminology is helpful when shopping for directional cutting bits.
Outstanding video!
Thanks very much for working to clear some of the confusion about what router bit, and router to use. Really appreciate it. Take care and be safe. From a digitally challenge person who still can't leave it alone. Take care lad.
Lot of good useful info here. Always look forward to your videos.
Watched two of your vids. Definite sub! You explain it very well with a sense of humor I very much like!
I would recommend watching a lot of his videos. Some of his builds are fabulous, like the centipede and the dinosaur.
Excellent teacher!
Great video Izzy, I’ve been a wood worker for years, but it’s good to review the basics, I even learned the spin trick to figure out if it’s and up or down cut bit.
Awesome thank you for watching
Excellent video!
Great video with lots of details, thank you.
Soooo much information!!!!! This was great 👍
Thanks Izzy. Good stuff.
The first thing I did when I bought my first plunge router (and yes I cheaped out lol). I downloaded a bit speed chart and bought all straight bits, reason being? Well, you can get away with most things in a wood shop without a router, it just takes longer. Sanding to the line is how the old timers used to do it before we had routers, or they'd hand plane and spoke shave the pieces they were working on to get them right. I still don't use my router that often because a lot of the time, I prefer the look of a nicely sanded edge to break the sharp edge vs putting a round over on it. Oh and there is yet another router you forgot to mention Izzy, Dremel has had a plunge router attachment for years now and I find myself reaching for it more than the bigger one in my shop. Great video on the information you shared as always :)
Great stuff as always Izzy! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for making this video. It answered all the questions I had.
Really love the vacuum templates! Very inspirational.
Thanks so much!
I enjoy your videos! Being a retired school teacher-band director I like your use of the language I understand. I just like excellence! Going back to school and the kids I taught “You are the bomb Mr Swan”. Thank you very much.
I try to ALWAYS give you a 👍 because they’re ALWAYS fantastic! You’re a great teacher!
Thanks Izzy, I'm just about to go down this path of making templates and this is very valuable to me.
I use one of those AC evacuation style pumps on my CNC setup for doing really small acrylic parts. I plumbed an old portable air tank for filling tires inline with the pump. I put a valve on it, so I could draw a vacuum on the tank and just open the valve when I was ready. The rush of vacuum really helps to seal the gasket down well and if ever lifts for a split second and momentarily breaks vacuum, the reservoir of vacuum keeps it from coming off. It really made a world of difference.
Great overview. I especially liked your way of describing up vs down cut. I need to look that up every time but think I’ll remember this explanation. When it come to sharpening, our local machine shop sharpens almost any blade or bit, including spiral bits, at a fraction of the cost of replacing the bit. People should check with their local woodworking store to see if they partner with such a company.
This type video is why I subscribed. Thanks!
Thank you for your honest opinion on straight vs spiral bits, I have very few spiral bits, love all your videos
Great info!!!
Thanks izzy. Highly intelligent yet practical.
Great video! Very informative, very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for info.Now I know how to check up cut and down cut spirals.Always confused with top and bottom of router bit now I know that I wont confuse ever again.Stay safe.
this is the most valuable video you have ever made, THANK YOU, more like this please!!!
More to come!
Very clear explanation...no question about it...
Really fantastic tips, Izzy! Thanks a bunch! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! Will do!
The video of the week!!! I knew of everything you addressed, but I’ll say this; I will ups make this a primer first video for my grandkids, son in laws, friends, and even enemies. Too bad we don’t still have ‘shop class’ as a requirement standard across the nation’s middle schools anymore. I’m a primary handtool guy, but never miss one of you videos because you’re top of the heap. You and StumpyNubs are the ‘industry standard’ when it comes to power/hybrid woodworking shop development…. Just my 2¢❤ BTW, I think the feeds and speeds breakdown was by JKM, because’James Hamilton’ is Stumpy Nubs.
I learned a lot. Thank you.
Ok, sharpen them yourself? Lets have a video on that one. Thanks izzy, keep on smiling.
Will do
A American Legend ! Thanks for all your guidance & Keep Rocking !

Awesome explanation. Thank you
I’m a beginner and this is a great informative introduction…thank you!!!
I’m a beginner and am in the middle of a project where I’m going to use templates so this came at a great time for me! Thank you very much for taking your valuable time to make a teaching aid for those of us just starting on this journey, it’s very helpful and much appreciated. The router is a bit of an intimidating tool for me still but I’m slowly learning and getting more confident.
You are so welcome!
Great vid... I learned something!
Super video ! I always learn something, usually a lot, from your vids !! Keeping teaching us !
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the information on this topic... great stuff

I love my Triton Router, I use it in my router table with the built in router lift. Thanks much Izzy.
Thank you for this info. I was wondering about this. I was thinking of buying a spiral jointer. And spiral bits. Good info.

Concise, informative and well planned and executed. Def gets a like and sub
Great info. 😊
Thank you. Here in Europe we also have 6mm collets delivered with the standard 1-2 hp router. I still use a ½” TCT straight bit that I bought in 1998
Great video, thanks for making it.
Using a vacuum pump to hold your template still - one a great idea. Thank you
