Router Bit Basics – The right bit can elevate your project from good to great. Start with this inexpensive set from Amazon first and tackle a wide range of tasks. When you have really learned how to use the router and start more complex projects with different router bits, I would suggest looking into Infinity Cutting tools, they have really great and durable bits and all profiles. These Amazon bits are cost-effective and durable, ensuring that you get the best value for your money.

Enhancing Stability – Partner your router with a compact router table to ensure that stability meets precision. This combination is a game-changer, providing you with control over your projects that hand-routing can't match. Elevate your routing game. I personally have an Incra router table, but find that when I do need a router table that I spent way too much money and it takes up too much space in my compact garage shop.
