   Same here - would never have considered using an offset fence for this. Excellent series. Thank you

   I would like to know more about your router lift.

   Thanks Bob for the nice overview of router table basics.
   One comment re offset fence for avoiding snipe (Ep 3). As Bob said earlier, snipe occurs if the bit removes some of the “leading” edge of the work piece. Note, it also changes the dimensions of the work piece! With luck – and patience – an offset fence might avoid snipe for an individual setup, but this still reduces the size. Both problems can be avoided, without changing the profile of the cut, if the bit is buried deeper into the original fence until the cutter just touches the top edge of the work piece. If the shape of the bit makes this difficult to set up, place the work piece against the fence, put a second piece on top of it and push the top piece into the cutter. Move the fence until the bottom edge of the second piece just misses the router bit.
   Hope this saves a few fences!

   Why isn't he wearing ear protection?

   I like to wear the foam earplugs in my ears when I work. He may be wearing them and we just don't see them under his hair. The ear muff type hearing protection makes my ears sweat so I prefer the foam plugs.

   A very enjoyable video series. I like that he sometimes makes mistakes but leaves them in the video. When I am learning his techniques and practicing them I will probably make the same errors and having him make them and show them helps me learn what they are and why they happen. I think that his video demonstrations and the camera work are excellent.

   Really good. Learned a lot. I need to know more about router speed. How can you tell if it’s at the right speed? What are you looking for in a test piece that indicates the right speed? Most routers don’t indicate rpm s so it’s always a guessing game. I would also like Fine Woodworking to do a comparison of routers specifically for router tables. Thanks for all the info Bob
