Can anyone suggest a good book on 'how to use a router' for a competant DIYer who has never used one.


Many thanks,



Robert



Use the newsgroup....

rec.woodworking and they will guide you to sites on the internet that will knock socks off buying books. The info is out there you just need to know what to put into google.

theyve got some good ones in leominster library, when i get a really good library book i sometimes then buy it on the interweb!

The best one I have found is:

"Woodworking with the Router: Professional Router Techniques and Jigs Any Woodworker Can Use"

by Bill Hylton, Fred Matlock

See here:-

covers everything from the basics through to details jig construction and gives loads of useful little tips along the way.

thank you all, especially John, for suggestions.
