A router table is a versatile tool that allows you to perform a wide range of woodworking operations, such as: edge profiling, groove cutting, mortising, pattern routing, joinery, and slot cutting, with an increased precision control and safety.
But it's also one of the more dangerous machines in the workshop, The bit rotate are a very high speed, is exposed, and can grab the work-piece and pull the hand holding it into the moving bit if not operated properly. That's why treating it with the respect and care it requires is essential for a smooth operation.
Therefore, it is mandatory to complete a Router Table course at Bitraf before operating the machine.

The course will be in English.

Important information:
• These courses tend to fill up. If you realize that you can't attend after signing up, please RSVP 'no' to sign off asap, so that someone else can take your spot.
• The course starts at 17:00 precisely in the wood workshop. You are welcome to come earlier to grab coffee etc before the course starts. Be sure to be on time, if you come late you will miss important information essential to complete the course, and not get certified to use the machines.
• Because of high expenses and running costs for the machines at Bitraf, you need to be a paying member of Bitraf to attend this course. Please join Bitraf at http://bitraf.no/join before signing up to the course.
• The course starts with a group theory presentation, then practical training. At the end of the course you will be added to the 'TOOLS' tool access system at this point, meaning you will have everything you need to start using the Router Table.

Over the past few years, we have been working on establishing a combat robotics community in Bergen, and we are hosting our third competition/event on May 31st (Robot Rumble). The last event had 12 teams competing and about 230 visitors, and we are continously growing.

We would now like to help build up a similar community in Oslo and if your are interested in combat robotics, please join the meeting for more information.

Example of talking points:

• How we built up the community
• How to design and build robots
• How we were able to host the event (both organizationally and practically)
• Possibilities for hosting a similar event in Oslo, with help from us.
• Any other things that might be relevant or you have questions about

There will also be plenty of pictures and videos from the previous events.
