FAQs

What types of routers do you offer?

We offer a diverse selection of router tables catering to different woodworking requirements. This includes router tables for smaller, detailed work, powerful routers for extensive woodwork, and advanced router tools suitable for both new crafters and professionals. Each type serves a unique purpose, ensuring you get the best finish for your projects.

How do I choose the right router table for my woodworking needs?

The right router table depends on multiple factors. First, consider the size and type of projects you undertake as well as the available space in your workshop. Secondly, look at the compatibility with the router tool you have, whether it's a plunge or trim router that you intend to mount or one of our round-body motors. And don't forget features such as adjustable fences, dust extraction systems, and safety measures.

What safety precautions should I consider when using a router table?

Safety is paramount when using any woodworking equipment, especially routing. Always ensure your workspace is well-lit. Use safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris, ear protection to shield against noise and a mask to prevent inhaling particles. Keep any loose clothing, hair or jewellery away from the motor. When using a handheld router, always secure the piece you're working on and avoid freehand cuts. For router tables, use push blocks and other safety devices to prevent your hands from getting too close to the bit. Ensure that you are feeding the timber against the rotation and do not attempt to take off too much material at once.

How do I maintain and care for my router table to ensure longevity?

Maintenance is key for the longevity of your router table. Regularly check for any loose bolts or parts. Clean off any residual sawdust after each session. Periodically, lubricate the moving parts and protect the surface from rust. Check your router bits for sharpness and store them in a dry place.

Do the routers come with variable speed settings?

Yes, our round body motors feature variable speed settings. This allows you the flexibility to adjust the speed according to the task, ensuring clean cuts and reduced wear on the bits.

Can I use the router with bits from other manufacturers?

While our routers are generally compatible with a variety of bits, it's always advisable to check the manufacturer's specifications. Using compatible bits ensures optimal performance and safety for routers.

What is the maximum horsepower and RPM of your routers?

Each model has its specific horsepower and RPM. Our most powerful round body motor is 2.4HP and has a maximum speed of 22000RPM. Always refer to the product specifications for precise values.

How noisy are the routers during operation?

Noise levels can vary based on the router's model, the sharpness of your router bit and the task at hand. However, we strive to design our router tools with noise-reduction technologies. Remember, always wear ear protection to safeguard your hearing during prolonged usage.

Are there any guarantees or warranties provided with your routers?

Yes, we pride ourselves on the quality and durability of our products. All our router tools come with a comprehensive warranty, ensuring you have peace of mind with every purchase.

Do you offer router tables with dust extraction features?

Indeed, our router tables all come equipped with dust extraction ports. This ensures that your workspace remains clean, reducing hazards and enhancing the longevity of both the table and your router tools.

How do I prevent the wood from burning when routing?

Wood burning usually results from moving the router too slowly, using a dull bit, trying to take off too much material at once or using the incorrect router speed. Always ensure your router bit is sharp, adjust the speed according to the wood type, and maintain a steady, even pace, taking small amounts off in one pass.

Can your routers be used with jigs or templates?

Absolutely. Our range router tables are designed for compatibility with various jigs and templates using the T and/or Mitre track slots. This ensures precision work, replicable designs, and ease of use.

Do you offer a range of router bits and cutters?

Yes, our collection boasts an expansive selection of bits and cutters, designed for every imaginable task. Whether you're aiming for a specific edge profile, flush cutting templates or rebating, we've got the right bit for you.

How do I achieve a smooth finish and avoid tear-out with the router table?

Achieving a smooth finish requires a combination of factors: sharp bits, the right feed rate, and the appropriate router speed. Ensure the wood is firmly secured, use a backer board when routing the end grain to prevent tear-out, and always move the timber against the router bit's direction. The use of specific upcut or downcut bits will also assist in a clean surface.
