I just ordered a Dewalt DW618PK. I’m new to routing and woodworking, very excited. Next, get a routing table! And some bits. And then, well, learn to use the tool … <g>

Hi Christine,
Welcome to Lumberjocks. I’m relatively new myself and also found the amount of information somewhat overwhelming at first. What worked for me is to pick a project and I then learned the techniques and acquired the tools to build it. I relied heavily on LJs when I was stumped with a technique or couldn’t understand the instructions.
I was also embarrassed to ask some of my questions at first. (I got over it), so if there’s anything I can do, fell free!
-- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer.
Have your say...
