Keeping a large bowl stable
Hollowing and sanding the largest of
the t hree bow ls requi res worki ng in
stages from the outside in. If you turn
the full diameter of the bowl to
thickness, the bowl may flex as you
sand the outside edge.
To work around t his, turn only
one-third of the outer diameter of the
bowl to final thickness [photo). Then
sand this area to 320 grit, keeping
your left hand behind the bowl to
provide support. Finish the large bowl
by cutting from the just-completed
area towa rd the center, bringing the
remainder of the bow l to final
thickness. Take light cuts to blend the
outer area with the inner area, then
sand the inner area through 320 grit.

Detents
3. Fixed-depth routing
Big or small, fixed base or plunge, you 'll
appreciate a router t hat ad justs up an d
down quickly for fixed-depth routi ng.
Among t he fixed bases in the kits, we
prefer Por ter-Cable's rack-a nd- pinion
ad juster, show n top left, best because it
has a q uick release for coa rse adjustments a nd a fine -adjust ment knob that's
easy to use. Milwaukee a nd Ridgid,
shown top center, also have quick-release
mecha nisms that proved effective.
Fi xed bases o n bot h Bosch models, as
shown top right, a nd the Craftsma n
engage one of t h ree detent s on the motor
body. You then get a limited amount of
up-a nd-down movement before you
must switch to a nother detent . If you
select t he wrong detent and ru n out of
fi ne-adjust ment ra nge, you'll have to
move to t he next detent and t hen th read
t he rod all t he way to t he othe r end .
The Triton plungers have a rack-andpinio n coarse ad juster- a d ual-mode
handle, shown near rig/It- fo r controlling fixed-dep t h ad justments as well as
plunge action . We found this feature
clu msy and difficult to use.
Ease of ha ndling proves as im portan t
as bei ng able to quickly ad just t he bit
depth . The two beefy 3-hp plunge routers-t- Freud and Trito n's TRAOO I-weigh
13 to 14 lbs a nd prove bulky, top-heav y,
and more tippy than the ot hers, especially when routing a long edges and
co rn ers. The Bosch MRC23EVS, in either
base, weigh s about 2 lbs more than the
other 8Y.!- 11 Ib kit rou ters, but its lower
center of gravity makes it less cumbersome than the big plunge route rs.
And th is Bosch has another adva ntage
on its fixed base: a ha nd le-mounted
power switch. With ot her kit routers you
have to remove or ad just your grip on
one hand le to t urn it on or off. The
Bosch MRC23EVS, above rigllt, has a t rigger just like t he t hree dedicated plu nge

o n the Milwaukee.
4. Plunge action
We prefer models t hat plunge smoo t hly
without stde-to-stde play and wit h
plunge locks easy to reach wit hout a lso
cha nging you r grip on the handles. We
like locks t hat you depress to plunge and
return to locked when released, such as
all t he Boscbes. Craftsma n, a nd Mil-
S. Router-table use
Switching any of the th ree dedicated
plunge routers in our test from ha ndheld use to t he router table and back
typica lly req uires more work t han with
the mult fbase kits. For kits, you can
attach the fi xed base perma nently to the
table and simply swap t he motor into
the plunge base for ha nd held work.
When installing any of the routers in
a table o r to an insert plate, you want t he
access hole for the height-ad just ment
tool closer to the front of t he table where
the fence won't cover it. But sometimes
a n upfront height-ad justment access
hole dictates t hat other router cont rols,
such as the var iable-speed dial, power
switch, or base lock, be located towa rd
the back of t he table where it can be di ffi cult to see or operate. The Bosch
161 7EVSPK, Milwaukee, and Ridgid have
the best table-mounti ng geomet ry for
access to a ll features.

6. Accessories
The Bosch MRC23EVS a nd Crafts ma n
come with t he most sta ndard accessories, addi ng value because you do n't
have to buy t hese later. With t he Bosch
you get a centering con e (to center t he
subbases to the spindle), t hree dust-collectio n hoods, t hree of its proprietary
gu ide bushin gs (shown r('{lIt) , a nd an
ada pter for Porter-Cable-st yle gutde
bushings. The Cra ftsman co mes with
th ree du st hoods, an edge guide, and a
D-ha ndle fixed base- a nice option if
you ded icate your regu lar fixed base to a
rou ter table.
All the routers except the Bosch
161 7EVSPK come with at least o ne dust
hood that connec ts to your shop vacuum. (But few of the ports on tested
models were t he same size, requ iring
adapt ers or duct tape.) Craftsma n, Milwaukee, and Ridgid gobbled dust best .
The Craftsma n an d Ridgid kits co me
in canvas bags t hat are easy to repack
and store accessories, but don't offer t he
protect ion of a hard-plastic case. Both
Bosch routers, t he Milwaukee, an d the
Porter-Cable come in plast ic cases. We
like Porter-Cable's best because t he
motor stores easily in either base a nd
there's roo m for optiona l accessories.

SHOP TIP
Flatten veneer for
perfect panels
Until you're ready to use t he venee r
sheets, sto re them pressed between
two sheets of lj,," MDF weighted
with two concrete blocks. To avoid
bub bles or gaps between the venee r
and the polycarbo nate shee ts, start
by flattening your veneer. To fl atten
the veneer, spray it with a commercial venee r softener (see Sources
o n page 65), place paper towels on
bot h sides, and press the venee r
and towels betwee n MDF sheets
until dry.
-....
WOOD m ag azIne
October 20 10
Pourthe epoxy down the center ofthe panel immediately after mixi ng.
The hardener we used causes the mixture to gel in 15 minutes.
Begin at one end of the polycarbcnat e panel and carefully lower the
veneer in place. Press out air bubbles using a roller.

J( you have access to wood in tree form,

co nside r buy ing a backyard ha ndsaw

Don't let t he en try pr ice tag of $3,00 0
to $6,0 00 scare you away from investing
in o ne of t hese burl y ha nd saws. For
most woodworkers, t he wood savi ngs
will quickly cove r the mill cost. And you
ca n speed the savings by selling some o f
the lu mber you produce. But even if a
m ill isn't in your future, you ca n sta rt
saving money now by h iring a portablem ill operator to b reak down your logs.
Buy or hire, be sure to take d rying
o ptio ns into consideratio n when you

Commercial Sawmill
Even if the nea rest com mercia l sawmill
is hal f a state away, t he wood a nd the
savings make the drive wort hwhile.
Expect to find warehouses full of
expertly kiln-d ried , graded lu mber at
nea r-wholesa le costs. Sawmills generally
a ren't set up to hand le retail shopping;
you wo n't get to pick t h rough the piles
for the perfect board . So, be sure to call
ahead wit h yo u r orde r-species, grade,
a nd quantity- to ensu re it is available
and will be waiting. Expect a min imum
order requirement or a sliding price scale
that encourages larger orders.

you ca n pick o nly the clearest, straightest boards, saving t he t rouble of further

Remember, you pay a boa rd-foot

If you're not ready to buy yo ur own sawmill, Wood -Mizer (800553-0182, wood-mizer.com) or
TimberKing (8009424406, ti mberking.com) will provid e you wi t h a list of local sawyers for hire.
Pros:
o Mill wood to any t hickness.
o Walnut a nd cherry cost t he same as
pine and poplar.
o You won't pay a pre mium for riftsawn
and qua rtersawn stock.
o Wider availabi lity of species (pin ktinged box elder, sycamore, a nd many
others depending on your locatio n)
offers options not typically sold at reta il.
o Wit h a top rate of 125 board feet per
hour, a solid I6-hour weekend of work
could net you as much as 2,000 board
feet of lumber.
