Book Reviews of Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Routers
Book Review: Nothing New Here ..........
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this book believing it would be a worth while addition to my woodworking library.
Like all Taunton Press publications, the book contains some impressive glossy photo's, in a well structured, logical format ...... and that's about the best I can say.
I felt the book fell far short of it's claimed title " The COMPLETE illustrated guide to routers".
In the books ten chapters, you will find the usual subjects, covered to varing degrees, ie: router bits, router table, and all the well worn, free hand /router table techniques.....but certainly nothing new.
The book contains references to only American routers and equipment.
There is little reference to any of the leading edge equipment, available, or used in other parts of the world.
I would suggest to any prospective purchaser, to look at either "The Complete New Router Book For Woodworkers" (ISBN 1-890621-94-3) or of course, the accepted modern day reference on the subject by Bill Hylton "Woodworking With The Router" (ISBN 0-7621-0800-2)
These books cover the presented subjects in much greater detail, without the Taunton Press gloss.
Summary of Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Routers
This book, in the "Complete Illustrated Guide" format covers one of the most popular tools in woodworking and home improvement in a step-by-step, highly visual presentation. The router is so popular because it can do an amazing variety of tasks. Bits and cutters can shape hundreds of profiles for edge treatments and moldings. Routers (especially the plunge type) can cut joinery from simple tongue and groove to interlocking and decorative joints. Mounted under a flat surface and guided by a fence, the router becomes a versatile shaping machine capable of safely spinning large bits for making large moldings and raising panels as well as more accurate joinery and shaping operations. Router users have developed hundreds of clever jigs for repetitive and dedicated operations. New bits, accessories, and enhancements for the router are constantly under development extending the use of this machine even further. This book covers all the practical router techniques as well as router table choice, construction and use and the techniques for popular jigs and fixtures.Projects Books
