    Ramon, you are a beast. It's nice to see the number of your subscribers increasing, but it is hard to understand why you do not have more like 100,000 + subs. Always good content and I appreciate your willingness sharing all the little details. Thanks for the vid. Cheers, David

    Nice video! I've been working wood for many years and I learn some little thing new from your vids. I use multiple routers too, 7 at last count, haha. Saves lots of time.

      Thats good to hear...thanks! Yeah...one can never have too many routers! 😄

    Great information Ramon! What size routers do suggest for a typical shop?

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  Год назад

      Well, depends on what you’re doing really. But a good variety would be a small trim router, a medium plunge and a large plunge router. I feel like most people are using underpowered routers…small trim router to flush cut 3/4” material for instance, while the router is screaming! I should add, I like 1/2” shanks whenever possible. Larger shanks mean more mass, less vibration (than 1/4”) resulting in a smoother cut. Thanks a ton

    Sorry, bro, I love your channel and your work but your explanation of router direction leaves something to be desired. I've been working with wood for 40 years and i couldnt make heads or tails of your explanation. And yes, I've got plenty of routers. The "learn" component (or teach, in your case) of your videos is obviously a big part of your skill set. I always always learn stuff from you. But maybe this time you should have pre-screened the first part of the video for people with varying degrees of experience to tighten up the information. Thumb up and follow the curve of your fingers is a tried and true method of remembering router direction. What was lacking was an indication of why router direction is so important. Grain direction, climb cutting, etc. A solid grounding in the "why" means you dont have to remember "is it clockwise, counter-clockwise, perimeter, exterior?". Sorry for the rant but hopefully this is constructive criticism

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  Год назад +1

      I appreciate the feedback. I have other videos about routers with explanations about grain direction, climb cuts etc. I wanted this to be a bit more fundamental into the proper direction to move the router. Once that’s established, then grain direction, climb cutting and other “kinda advanced” techniques can be employed. Thanks for your input…it will help me make better videos.
