Few will argue that the router is one of the handiest, most versatile power tools in the woodworking shop. With it, you can edge, shape, dado, groove, mortise, cut or drill all types of project components with speed, precision and super-smooth results. However, because of its high operating speeds and horsepower (most routers run at between 18,000 and 25,000 rpm's and offer between 1hp and 3hp of power), failure to follow proper safety procedures can make the router one of the most dangerous tools in the shop.
