Skil router and router bit review

[@ZealousDragon]

THANK YOU for dropping the audio out when you turned the tool on. These days, common sense isn't that common.

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

I try my best. I hate when you have to keep regulating the volume too! Thanks for watching!

The Skil router is definitely flying under the radar. My only complaint is that it runs HOT- just a few minutes in the router table and I can’t even touch it 😬

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

I’ll have to check mine. I just flatten 2 white oak slabs but I didn’t notice it. I agree it’s a great router for the price.

@@johnnygsdiy1981 I only noticed when I went to switch out bits during a project- I’ve never had a router get that hot, but I’m super happy with the performance

Did your router table come with that Fence or is it after market or diy?

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

Yes, That’s a 30 year old table. It came with it but I’m looking to make a router table on my table saw.

Plexiglass table top to see display controls

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

Good idea. Thanks for the tip

[@stevenmartinelli1834]

what is the brand of bits you used?

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

Amazon… CNC Spoilboard Surfacing Router Bit 1/2" Shank, Slab Flattening Router Bit Carbide Planer Router Bits Wood Milling Cutter Planing Tool Woodworking Tools by BINSTAK

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

They are not the best quality but I didn’t want to spend a lot on the first attempt to flatten a slab.
