The Router Book: A Complete Guide to the Router and Its Accessories

I found the book overflowing with useful information on types and models of routers, accessories and techniques. Author is knowledgeable, straight forward read.

I have now had this tool for months and still haven’t gotten the chance to use it. It looks amazing just not enough time in a day

Any time a book says that it is a Complete guide, it is going to place a bull-eyes on the product. This book is excellent reading, but falls way short of a complete anything, when it comes to being a guide. There are a lot of jigs, patterns, and methods of use templates, that are not even covered in this book. Most of the information was a repeat of old material. It was good reading, but really, I should have checked out of the library, where it would not have cost me anything.

It's possible that when I read the description of this book I got the wrong impression of what it was for. The book itself is relatively well written and great if you are unfamiliar with router terms and equipment but the book is pretty lacking when it comes to jigs, fixtures, and routing techniques. Do not buy this book if you are looking to improve your routing skill set, rather buy it if you are REALLY uninformed on what kinds of routers are out there and what each is used for.

All as advertised. Happy to find a used book.

I borrowed the book from the library first, I love it so much I had to buy it. I wanted something that would teach me all the functions of working with a router, and this book was 'it'.

It may be, as its subtitle suggests, "a complete guide" - but for what? Certainly not on how to use routers. The book focuses on listing the types of routers and bits that are available - and not much else. I bought the book in part because of Chapter 7, "Router Bits," but it doesn't really tell you how to use them.

good book
