Shaper Router
All You Need to Know about Woodworking Router & Shape Jigs
Since its invention early in the 20th Century. the router has become one of the most popular portable power tools-and with good reason(A router is a woodworking tool used to rout out (hollow out) an area in the face of a piece of wood. It was a tool particularly used by pattern makers and staircase makers and consisted of a broad-based wooden hand plane with a narrow blade projecting well beyond its base plate gaining it the nickname Old Woman’s Tooth). Few tools can match its speed, accuracy and versatility for shaping wood or cutting joints. But jigs are almost a necessity; although the router can be used freehand, most cuts require a guide-particularly repeat cuts.
The jigs provide various ways of obtaining quick and precise results from your router. Some, like the dadoing jigs reduce the setup time for simple procedures. Others, like the lap joint jig allow the tool to produce multiple copies of the same joint in a few minutes. A relatively new woodworking development, vacuum powered accessories eliminate the need for conventional clamps when routing patterns using a template. The vacuum pump is also useful for securing feather boards to a router table. All of these jigs are easy and inexpensive to build.
The router is larger cousin, the shaper, can perform many operations better than the smaller tool, but it is generally regarded as one of the most dangerous tools in the typical wood shop. A shop made feather board and guards will make it a safer tool.
