In this one-day class, you’ll learn about the anatomy of a router, shapes and styles of router bits, and techniques to avoid tear-out.

After learning how to properly use a hand-held router, the class advances to the router table, learning its construction and operation. You’ll design, machine, and construct your own stacked molding plus jointly build raised panel doors, incorporating the skills learned throughout the day. You are encouraged to bring in your own router if you have one; if not, routers will be provided.
