We are looking for "one to three line router tips", which are to be featured on the daily tip rotator. I have about 100 of these but would like to have input from the rest of you.

Our first members tip has been posted on the the daily tip rotator for Oct 26th, congradulations goes to kp91. Thanks for the tip!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Safety tip:

Never leave a table mounter router with the bit raised or uprotected when not in use.

ejant · 09-26-2004, 03:01 PM

Periodically inspect bits for cracks, worn bearings, chipped carbide.

Put your bits away. The vast majority of router bits have carbide tips. Carbide has a number of advantages; it’s resistant to heat, and keeps an edge longer than steel. Among the drawbacks; it’s very brittle, prone to chipping. Don't leave your bits rolling around loosely in a drawer as they can smack one another and chip - ruining them. Always put them away either in the container you picked it up in, or in a DIY holder which keeps them safely apart.

Those tips seem to be pretty good, but if you want them to be on the tip rotator you need to submit them.
