Learn How to Use Routers and Their Friends

This is more than a routing course, we will show you the fundamental uses of each tool, how it works and where best to employ it.

Whilst it is perfectly feasible to make furniture using hand tools without ever plugging anything in, some processes are better done with a powered tool.

We have aimed this class at those who are thinking of buying their first tool or who already own some but aren’t sure if you’re using them correctly or to their full capacity.

This course covers the portable tools we think you are most likely to use in your own workshop.

  • Power tool safety and best practice
  • Choosing the right power tool
  • Drills, drill/drivers, impact drivers and SDS
  • Circular saws: mitre, track and table
  • Jigsaws V. Bandsaws
  • Routers: jigs, templates, tables, cutters and guides
  • Cordless tools
  • Air-powered tools
