    The last thing you said about the pushing of the router and not pulling towards oneself saved me a lot of danger. I owe you much respect.

    THIS is the tutorial I’ve been searching for, a true beginners video, so many others assume you already know some stuff, and leave you with questions, and frustrated, I am feeling confident now to begin routing! Thanks heaps

    I'm used to larger, corded routers czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    My Grandad taught me how to use his moulding plane, which I've always used. It does need a bit of skill and effort and does have some limitations, so I've had a hankering for a router. Now I have a job rebating the edge of some flooring in-situ in a doorway which really would be difficult with just hand tools so I need to take the plunge (!) and get up to speed (!) with a router. Many thanks for this introduction, it has helped greatly. By the way; one further tip, if I may suggest, for using a power tool on a cable; check the wire has enough slack and is not going to pull tight as the tool is moved through the working stroke, or worse get pulled into the cutter. Rehearse the move.

    Advice for newbies, just like a saw, it is safer to not move the router until it stops spinning, plunge routers are beneficial for this ability. Fixed base and stopping- he laid it with moving bit facing him, I would advise laying it outward. This is why a clean space is best.
    A on/off pedal is a great add.
