Hi,

Newbie here. What is the main use of a straight vs. trimmer guide? I've been using my router for awhile with the straight guide, but I'm not sure when I'd use the trimmer guide (Makita M3600 Router).

Thank you all for the advice and the warm welcomes!

Much of your advice confirmed my suspicion that I should be focusing on building a router table first and foremost. I'll put the trimmer guide away for now and get a trim router for those types of projects.
