Book Description

Popular Woodworking July 17, 2007
The first operator's manual for the router table

If you don't have a router table in your shop yet - you should! The router table opens up a whole new world of using the router that simply can't be done using it any other way. Operations such as edge profiling, making mouldings, cutting lock-miter joints, box joints, rabbets, grooves, splined miters, using templates, pin routing and more can be done using a router table. Using this book, you'll learn basic router-table knowledge, safety issues, setup fundamentals, feed direction and workpiece control. Also, you'll learn about specific operations unique to the router table and how to do them safely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Router Table Worker., November 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bill Hylton's Ultimate Guide to the Router Table (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Excellent book. This is what a person who is going to get serious in router table working needs. Woodworking is my hobby. I build many things around the house, from dormers to desks, and cabinets. I bought a Porter Cable 3-1/2 HP router, a Bench Dog table, and a Bench Dog Lifter. I wish I had seen this book before I bought the table. Well, I bought it all at once. I would have made my own table. The book is very well written and the author (Bill) is extremely knowledgeable about his subject. He offers many options for building your own table based on your specific needs. The illustrations are great. It covers many different areas, such as making dovetails, different types of bits, how to make jigs and fixtures, etc. There are no adds about any particular brand, which is great. He focuses of process. This is a great book, built with high quality paper as well. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book description is incorrect, July 9, 2008
By 
This review is from: Bill Hylton's Ultimate Guide to the Router Table (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Despite what the book review states, this is not a book about building your own router table and I have yet to find any plans. If you are looking for plans, you will need to buy either "Woodworking with the Router" or "Router Magic" which are also by Hylton. As the author states, "Using a router table is what this book is about".

It is an excellent book especially if you are not familiar with the router table. There are also ideas and techniques for the person who is familiar with the router table. Hylton is a great suthor and I would recommend any of his router books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and helpful, January 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bill Hylton's Ultimate Guide to the Router Table (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
A great book for the beginner router user, but probably useful enough for relatively experienced users too.
Being almost exclusively aimed at router table usage, not just general router usage, allows it to be very comprehensive and cover a lot of details.

Highly recommended
