We’ve received many inquiries about the contents of our CD compilation, The Complete Guide to Routers. So here’s a list of some of the highlights you’ll find inside:

  • Router Essentials In this seven-article series we cover all the basics of router use. From choosing and setting up a tool, to selecting the right bit for the job, to making complex joints, you’ll get the router foundations and advanced techniques you need.
  • 32 All-time Best Router Tricks Here you’ll find the most ingenious time- and money-saving tricks from Popular Woodworking readers.
