Hey guys, new here! Just picked up a Porter Cable 690 type 6 mounted in a Rockler table with an older Rockler/JessEm "Rout-R-Lift" and its my first router. Cleaned it up and powered it on seems to work (at least it spins). Have been doing some reading/research on this Forum and finally got through to join (website has issues with my iPad). Just ordered a basic 15 pc MLCS router bit set to get going. The router seems like a very useful tool and I'm looking forward to making a table and fence for a cheap-o drill press I just picked up as my first project.

Just wanted to say HELLO and looking forward to learning lots on these pages.

I bought a miter saw in January so I could cut straight when I was fixing the fence and wondered why I didn’t do that 20 years ago. Then a couple weeks later I bought a Dewalt job site table saw and started having some fun. Before that I only had a circular saw and made a couple of crooked shelves. That’s the extent of my woodworking skills. I’m a DIY er and fix everything around the house… mostly… house is still standing…

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Yes zero years experience and I have safety in mind at all times I like my fingers. Yes I will make practice cuts before making the final cut.

Thanks for making this yet another great forum for friendly advice and knowledge.
