'''Types of cutting bit'''[[File:LabeledRouterBack.jpg|thumb|200px|]]
* Edge Cutters - are for creating decorative
* Groove Cutters - create channels starting at edges and don't generally use guide bearings so the fence will needed▼
'''Fitting a collet and router bit'''
#Ensure the power switch is OFF and the router disconnected from mains
#Ensure the retracting shutter is fully closed (3), it will cause the router to jam if during this procedure if it isn't and it quite difficult to release. The cover can only be closed when the switch is in the off position.
Line 75 ⟶ 79:
#Check once again that power is off and turn the switch(3) back on
<br>
'''Choosing a speed'''
#Use the highest speed which does not result in burn marks
#Generally, higher speeds are used for timber and MDF, lower speeds for synthetic materials

| Setting up for your cut ||
* Use the micro-winder to set up the depth of cut you're after
** The depth micrometer can be used to accurately check this
** If you can't get to the proper depth within the adjustment range of the winder, then you may have to re-position the bit in the collet
** Tighten the locking lever once you have your desired height
* If you're going to be using the fence
** Set it to the correct distance, remember it doesn't have to be parallel to the table, only at the correct perpendicular distance
** Lock it in place
** Consider if you want to use the combs to hold work against the fence for your cut, if you do now is the time to fit them.
* If you're using a template to guide the cut
** Ensure the template is securely fixed to the work
** Check that the guide bearing of the bit will engage with the template
** Plan out how you're going to move the work against the cutter to ensure it's always moving in the proper direction.
