Under my bank now I can see three levels of bank. It's a long, a medium length and a short one. The long flight is for truing edges and dead areas, the middle one is a daily plane and the short one used to smooth finished carcasses and final truing surfaces. A number 6 is for a reasonably well-built male is the standard everyday level, quite often referred to as a Jack plane.

So what makes a router does and how to use a router.

I thought I would first look at the word router and this comes from a verb in the escape. Rout is also a noun, but does not relate to our woodworking router. The definition of the verb seems to undermine or browse or furrow, as with a shovel, chisel, or machine. So maybe my definition of a woodworking machine or router would be cut out from a part of a piece of wood. This could be quite easy to make a groove oraround the edges of a piece of wood.

Under my bench right now I can see three bench planes. There is a long one, a medium length and a short one. The long plane is used for truing edges and dead flat surfaces, the medium sized one is an everyday bench plane and the short one is used for smoothing finished carcasses and final truing up of surfaces. A Number 6 is for a reasonably well built male is the standard everyday plane, quite frequently referred to as a Jack plane.

This month we will be looking at chisels and marking and measuring tools. A few years ago now for another magazine I did a test of all of the brands of chisels available in the cabinet makers bevel edged pattern. The objective was to find the best branded chisel for apprentice cabinet makers. In doing this I found out that although chisels vary enormously in the quality of their grinding, the shape and the quality of the handles. However most of the manufactures are using a very similar grade of steel so the edge holding capacity of certainly European made chisels were very similar. What we did learn at this time was that if you move away from the European kind of chisel to the Japanese chisel it was possible to gain an edge holding capacity that would outlast the European chisel by 4 or 5 times. The disadvantage of going to Japanese is that they are made from a slightly more brittle steel but if one is careful in the way one uses them this wouldn’t seem to be a too great a disadvantage. However a slightly more serious disadvantage is the fact that re-sharpening a Japanese chisel takes a good deal longer than sharpening a European one. This is because the edge was made from a much harder steel and requires much greater care in sharpening.
