Introductory Routing Training Courses - for people with little or no experience of routers.

This one day training course covers an introduction to routers and the basic routing techniques to quickly achieve professional results from your router. The use of the router along with the essential safety aspects of routing are fully covered in the training.

You will learn the basics of routers, how to use router cutters correctly; which router cutters to use for what purpose and and how to set and care for the router cutters.

The principles of free hand routing will be covered as well as full instruction on the correct and safe use of router tables. For example, you will be instructed in creating "edge moulding", making "biscuit joints", "tenoning" and how to make correct "rebates".

The emphasis is on "hands on" instruction on routers and to this end you will be guided on a small project which you can take home with you afterwards to act as a practical reminder of the techniques used.

Advanced Router Training Courses - for people with more experience of routing.

The Advanced Router Training Course is aimed at the ambitious amateur and is an ideal follow-on from the Introductory Routing Training Course outlined above. Here you take the art of routing one step further and in particular, in the use of the various routing jigs.

You will be tutored in the use of the "Router Carver" which creates fantastic and intricate wood carvings in just minutes without needing any wood carving skills at all!.

The use of other router jigs is also covered, for example, the new circle cutter which allows you to create large circles right down to 25mm circles. The "Oval Router Jig" is another ingenious device which opens up many new applications for the router. Learn how to make "Key Hole slots" to enable you to hang pictures and mirror frames flush to the wall. And then, perhaps the most versatile router cutter of all, the "Profile Scribe Router Cutter" which will allow you to use your router to make professional quality cabinet doors and panels.

If time allows, you will be tutored in the most ingenious device of all... the "Router Lathe". When experienced, this will enable you to speedily make "Barley Twists" and possibly make a table lamp that you can take home with you.

The versatility of the router is truly unbelievable and it is not surprising that most who have used routers have only explored 20% of the router's true capability!

So... why waste valuable time and effort muddling through with routing when, with correct "hands-on" tutoring you could be up there with the routing professionals and making life easier and more rewards as well!
