Thank you so much. I’ve just been given a plunge router for Christmas and am pleased to find that you use the same Bosch model. Your instruction is just spot on for a novice such as me. Thanks again. Tony

enjoy, i never realised how useful they would be, now i use mine on almost every project. also got a stencil set for mine for signs etc and a 2mm small bit for engraving bits. such versatile tools.

@kanedNunable 2 года назад

i now have 3 routers after having none for the first 45 years of my life. bought a cheap trend, was useless. bought a katsu, but was unreliable as bit would move slightly. got a dewalt now, and oh my word its brilliant.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

I got a Katsu router, Guild router, Bosch router, Trend router and they all got a dedicated task to do now. Katsu is in my loose tenon jig, Guild is in my router table, Trend is used on most "routing" jobs and the Bosch for some heavy duty jobs 😁👍

@@CasualDIY i was meaning to put one of my old ones in the router table but i just dont trust them so i still use my dewalt. just means i have to undo 4 screws and screw it in. but it takes 1 min so not end of the world

Hi Thomasz, again very clear details for users. As for using the fixed base to drop in the cutter into the piece is a good call but remember that will only work, and the same for plunge bases for smaller diameter router bits as the center of the router will stop the router dropping in. You can help that by moving along the direction of the cut until it has cut its way in then you are fine but you need in both actions to be very carful it does not kick.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

Thanks and good info👍

@contessa.adella 2 года назад

My new Dewalt DCS604 couldn’t grip 1/4 inch bits…then I saw it had an 8mm collet. I was about to be dismayed, but checked the parts bag and found it had come with the 1/4” collet too…result👍

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

My Trend router came with the same set up.

@przemysawmaciuszko4594 2 года назад

The standard for smaller routers is 6mm/8mm, many routers accept both sizes.

@lafamillecarrington 2 года назад

No idea if it is true, but I'd read that the larger bit can dissipate heat better, meaning that bits will run cooler and last longer.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

Not heard about that one 🤔

@mb_a5383 2 года назад

The bigger the shank on the router bit, the slower it rotates

@secobaairways4585 2 года назад

Thomasz, I'm confused, you seem to be saying (and have shown at 4m:54s) that the Bosch POF 1200 can take a half-inch bit. I looked closely at this router before buying one, I didn't buy the Bosch as I believe it takes a maximum size of 8mm. Would you please clarify and confirm whether this router can take a half-inch bit.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

It was just am example of a bigger router that they tend to take 1/2 and 1/4. This particular router only takes 1/4. Sorry for the confusion, I couldn't be bothered to take out my other plunge router from my router table, that can take both.

@secobaairways4585 2 года назад

@@CasualDIY 🆗 Thomasz, fair enough, thanks for clarifying.

@hansdegroot8549 2 года назад

Good video again. Thanks for sharing. But why do you use fractions of inches? Did you take your routers from England to Poland? Here we can mostly buy only 6 or 8 mm shanked router bits. And although 6 mm is nearly 1/4" it doesn't fit (hold). But your audience is probably most English/American where 1/4 or 1/2 of an inch is standard.

@CasualDIY 2 года назад

Yes all my bits are from UK. And yes nearly 80% of my viewers are from UK and US. That's why👍

@kanedNunable 2 года назад

yeah in UK we still classify them as 1/4 and 1/2 inch for some reason. its very weird living here with meters and miles and using imperial for height too. haha.
