5 BEGINNER ways to use the trim ROUTER while reviewing the Makita Trim Router

This week is all about gaining confidence with the Router and learning 5 ways to use the router in the workshop while reviewing the Makita Trim Router. In the video I unbox the Makita Trim Router kit and cover creating jointery, edge profiles, cutting circles, using the router to cut biscuits and using a flush trim bit to duplicate pieces.
The router is a super helpful tool in the workshop and will get used on almost every project you complete. My new favourite way to use the router is the biscuit cutter bit for cutting biscuits into the pieces to ease the stress of glue ups as the biscuits help everything align. Below are some helpful links for items you see in the video.
