Getting back to the topic of this original thread that I started...
If you are new to doing this and have never used a router, and you've got to recess joysticks, practice first. I know that just makes common sense, but I'm not a terribly patient person. If I had made my first cuts with this thing on my painted control top I would have been one miserable human being.
My first attempt at cutting inside a scrap piece of wood looked like someone took a rectangle, threw it out in the street and let a couple of semis hauling hogs run it over a few times! It was awful. Still flat, but it certainly didn't resemble a rectangle!!
Last night's attempt, in my actual "practice" CP was much different. The thing actually was square! I only slightly jagged one side, but as it's on the underside and not visible it's not something I would care to try and fix necessarily. By the time I get to my actual CP I expect to be much better at it!
For the record, I love this routing thing. That tool scared the life out of me the first few times I messed with it, but it has easily become my favorite to "mess with."
Sorry for such a long post, but hey...felt I had to get this off me chest!
