A router is basically a powerful motor spinning a sharp metal bit at high speeds. Read the manual before using and be aware of the difference between the regular "push" and the more dangerous "climb" cut!
Safety
When using a router, always take the time to properly clamp down your workpiece, hook up a shop vac and wear safety goggles.
Router Bits
Router bits can get quite expensive, but good quality ones can be sharpened when they become dull.
The router comes with 6 and 8 mm collets (Spannzangen).
A set of router bits is available with the router. As always, report when broken and replace them accordingly.
