Book the time off in your calendar, even if you're on the waitlist. It is very common to get bumped up as the course date/time approaches.

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.
