Routers Are Cool But Pin Routers Are SUPER COOL! 

I found this video by looking for pin routers in service and in love it. Screw the idiots who only have to comment what you’re doing wrong. And I’m real glad you told them what you think. Awesome job man. I wish I could play guitar more than ever!

Loved the disclaimer about the PPE

That thing looks fantastic! And if you get blood on it, just stain that shit right in. Safety has it's place, absolutely it does, but so does being a grown-ass man who is using HIS own tools to do HIS shit as he sees fit. I appreciate your efforts sir!

I have the same Electro-Mechano floor model drill press seen over your left shoulder. Cool 1960s machines.

So COOL!

Looks like a good tool for the task, is it much cheaper than a CNC?

What router bit do you use for gouging/hogging out a lot of material. I have an older shop smith pin router router table and use the larger Bosch router overhead. Cheers thanks for the help.

Great videos man keep it up...

I killed too many templates with a hand router. That is a great feature of the pin router

Really interesting stuff, guys! I swear I must have watched 6-8 hours of content since yesterday. 👍 Really like you guys. Just, wish I could afford one of your absolutely amazing guitars. Keep it up! One thing I suggest is wearing a respirator when doing paint and clear. Clear especially becaue it uses a hardener. I gave myself pneumonia when I did automotive refinishing because I didn't use one. My lungs were caked with crap and the surgeon had to physically clean it out. He said it was like cleaning play-doh out of carpet. 👎 Spent 6 days in ICU and another 6 in the trauma unit after having my ribs cracked open to fix my lungs.

Damn now I need a pin router

Matt, can talk about electronics some time? I want to put on/off switches to each pickup on a three pickup build I’m in process of making. I’m pretty sure how it should go but your imput would be helpful. Thanks and great videos

What I really like about these is not having a huge bearing getting in the way when you have to route more precise areas. Is that just a downcut spiral bit?

Would an inverted pin router work just as well?

Awesome awesome vid!!! Powerful unit. What are your thoughts on cutting guitar bodies and necks using a pin router?

Hello Matt, Tony with T & T Customs of Bakersfield Ca. here. I recently found a great deal and purchased my first Pin Router (RU Long SR-550 practically identical to your JET.) I could use a little advice on the best cutters for it. I'm working to get it set up to do neck pockets and cavities primarily. What say you? Thanks in advance!

I like your psa comment!!!😂

So are you lowering/raising the bit with a foot pedal? Good vids- thanks!

What size spiral bit is that? 1/2" shank, 1/2" CD, and 2" cut depth?

How high do your pins stick up from table? Got a pin router without pins so need have some made. Thanks

I am looking at buying this exact pin router ... whet is a good price to pay for this unit ... thanks Neal

Routers don't create very much dust unless you use a weird bit because they shave the wood like a chisel, instead of sanding it. i think if you have a filtration device for the fine particulate in the air that accumulates over time, and you vacuum or sweep occasionally, that is all you need... the light looks foggy in the video, which suggests that there are fine particles in the air. if you use something like a grinder with a flap disk, the dust is super fine and only then I would personally use a respirator while working; unless the wood is toxic, then i treat it a bit differently. i know you just complained about people calling you out for improper safety equiptment use, so i had to say my own... :P the thing about opinions is everyone has them. however, you shouldn't be upset with it when they say stupid shit. Instead, you can look at it as an oppritunity to teach them, or you can simply ignore it. I realize that you use your youtube channel to vent and sort of affirm your ideas though, which isn't really bad; seeing how people react to certain things can be educational. however, the reactions in themselves tel you how the audience thinks, not nessicarily how you should think. the pin router you have is pretty neat btw.

You should at least use a dust mask . We had one poor ole fellow that blew a sheet of wood out his nose . Had to fire him for trying to steal lumber . Happy New year . J

I as well get annoyed by all of the safety knotsies tryna come into videos and tell people they're "DOING IT RONG!!!" I'd imagine them in their shops, wearing a suit of armor; but they probably don't even have a shop. Screw 'em. Do it your way.

Hey man i made a guitar in 1963 out of cardboard cause i wanted to be like john lennon i even used CRAYOLA crayons nothing but the best !😂🤪😳

Was able to find a Shop Fox W1736 pin router ( baby router) since can't fit one like yours. Alas, bid on it before found out no pins come with it. DUMB Move. Guess will need get a machinist to make some.
