Yup, It's another newbie

Hello Jim (aka N/A) and welcome to the forums...

About your desire to learn... We can help as we have put together some light reading for you...
As in, we've put some helpful information together at this here link to help you get up and running in the world of routers... We hope it to be useful to you... Enjoy...
Do take some time and read the safety PDF's... PLEASE!!!
Blood and trips to the ER, we find, are very annoying... Not to mention – expensive...

Welcome to the forum, Jim! Add your first name to your profile to clear the N/a in the side panel. Add your location, as well.

We do like photos so show us your shop, tools, projects - pens, etc. whenever you're ready. What sort of woodworking are you planning or doing with that router?

The router has powers we can only imagine - but requires much respect as well. Read up on all the safety and operational docs Stick sent you. I just posted another quip on the Safety First thread. You can't be too careful!

Welcome and show us what you've done, Jim!

I read all of the safety information mentioned in your "at this here link" when I checked out this forum.
I wish that similar information was available when I got my first saw.

My fingers and I all say thanks!

Hey, Jim; welcome!
So, what router(s) did you buy?

Welcome aboard Jim. Richmond is a good place to be in this case. You have a very good Woodcraft store that offers many great classes, several using the router. Hands on instruction is not a bad place to start especially if green to the tool. Classes are generally about 6 students so you get direct help from the instructors and they just started the classes up again due to small size and you're already wearing the mask! Ed and Kelly (owners) are really great people and very knowledgeable, also having good people working there. If you're lucky Ed' black lab Shamus will be there keeping watch on the store (very friendly).

Disclaimer, I neither own stock or any monetary interest in this store but shop there often even though it's over an hour away.......
