This is an excellent resource for the beginning woodworker interested in learning about the router.
Summary: Too many jigs, not enough bits
Rating: 3
I'm a total beginner in woodworking. I purchased "Woodworking with the Router", to get a basic understanding on how a router is constructed and how it operates. The 1st few chapters were just what I was looking for. What I expected next was descriptions of the most commonly used bits, and how to use them. Instead I got jigs. Ultimately, this book is going to be a valuable reference for making your own jigs, but in the meantime I've got to find out what to do with the bits.
Summary: If You Own A Router, You Should Own This Book!

Let me begin by saying, "I never review books..period". However I was so immpressed by Bill Hylton's, "Woodworking with the Router", that I felt compelled to say something.
That something is..."If you own a router or have contemplated buying one; Consider this book as essential as a bit you need to make it something other than just a noisy motor!" A must for the beginner, and a shop shelf reference for the seasoned pro, this is one book purchase that you will never regret buying.
Hylton while managing not to scare you to death, nontheless stresses how to work safely with the router, so that even first-timers will fill confident making that first cut.
Filled with nifty jigs and plans that are clear and concise, make contruction a breeze. Advice on choosing routers, bits, tables, and jigs. Shop tools, differing wood characteristics, precision joinery... are all valuable, of course. But Hylton will also show you how to save a bucket of money by using your router to do jobs traditionally done by other, more expensive shop tools. Building your own precision accessories rather than buying them will easily save you hundreds of dollars, not to mention the gradification of having made them yourself.
Do youself a favor..."Buy this book!" Your router will thank you.
Summary: Excellent book

I bought my first router well over 15 years ago, and I've been reading router books and articles sporadically since the '70s. I picked up the previous version of this (not the revised edition available here), and my one word response is "wow". Said repeatedly, but just the one word.
This book covers the entire gamut - from selecting your router, explaining the gamut of bits, to building a couple of tables for it (standard, horizontal, and a skinny, tall workbench that just looks handy as blazes) to very complete how-tos for doing anything you've ever heard of doing with a router - jointing, decorating, making molding, circle and oval work - and into things you wouldn't usually consider doing with a router, like jointing, thickness planing, making frame-and-panel interior doors, edge joinery - all completely explained in an easy-to-understand, conversational tone, with good detail and plans for making your own jigs and fixtures to do all of it.
The best part is that they do *not* teach you to do what they do - they give you an understanding of what can be done, show several different ways to do it, and expect you to work in your own style.
With this router book, you probably don't need any other. Anyone who has (or plans to acquire) a router should get this book. Anyone who has a router and this book is going to be spending very little money on buying router accessories - they'll know how to make their own.
