router bits

<< < (3/3)

I wouldn't be ashamed of that Ryobi, It is a good entry level cutter, And  you will most likely outgrow it and wind up with multiple machines anyway after a few miles (I got 4) But each one is for a different cut/bit and specific purpose  not just one do all machine, A table is a upgrade for it but not necessary out of the gate as saw boards work just fine for most cuts....As for what it can do, go back where you got it, and look at the bits, on the packages you can see what each bit actually does and suddenly you get a brainstorm of ideas for a really cool build.

Ond:
I had a Ryobi router, it was ok while it lasted but I use routers a lot and it eventually burned out.  ¼” inch bits are ok for light work but I always prefer to use ½” inch bits whenever possible.  I feel more confident using them especially with thicker timbers and deeper cuts.  My current router is an AEG ½”.  My favourite ever router was a small Hitachi (I burned that out too ;D).

Mike's advice to have someone teach you the basics of using a router is sound.
