Review: Time to up my router game - I just bought a new router and decided that it was time to improve my router techniques both hand-held and with a router table. I have read through most of the book and found it to be full of useful techniques and descriptions of router accessories. The book starts with a general description of routers and bits. It then describes the construction and use of common jigs and router tables. The rest of the book is focused on applications such as templating, surfacing, cutting dados, joinery, etc. It is a good read, full of useful illustrations, and makes a good long-term reference. Two specific highpoints: The author presents an excellent description of why a router tends to veer off course when hand-held and why the veering depends on feed direction and bit rotation direction. Understanding why leads to better techniques for controlling the router when using a fence or template. To me, this lesson was worth the cost of the book. There is a description of the design of a sled used to hold workpieces on a router table. The sled improves safety and accuracy. This proved to be a perfect solution for rounding over the edges of small parts in my application. In short, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to up their router game. Review: Fantastic guide - Purchased this to get tips and tricks for better routing as a newbie. This is a formidable instruction guide loaded with pictures and easy to decipher instructions. The author took a huge amount of care in making this book reader friendly and it has given me a tremendous amount of valuable information on everything from the basics to more complex routing. Anyone who needs to learn how to use a router properly and creatively will benefit from this book.

I was already familiar with Bill Hylton from other books and some magazines. He has the ability to write clear & easy to understand pieces. Buying his book specifically on routers was a no brainer. I already referred to the book for instructions on cutting a large lap joint. His jig instructions were exactly what I needed. It's like having my own private instructor! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16868954-woodworking-with-the-router-revised-and-updated-professional-router-techniques](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16868954-woodworking-with-the-router-revised-and-updated-professional-router-techniques) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
