“Men don't talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder"

Most routers are designed to be used in two ways: Hand-held or stationary, mounted in a router table. Hand-held routing applications involve controlling the rate and direction of feed by moving the router across or along the material so they cutter can cut and shape its surface or edge. Hand-held routers are generally better for when you're working with larger pieces of material which may be harder to support on the surface of a router table.movements that wouldn't be possible if the router was mounted in a table. Router table routing is bringing the material to the router bit. Stationary routing applications involve mounting a router upside down in a router table, and sometimes in a bench top, so that the router cutter is upside down, with the cutting edges facing upwards. The user then controls the feed rate and direction by bringing the material to the router cutter.
