This concept came to be reality in June 2009 and now it’s nearly Jan 2010 and it is just getting some feet.  Bookmark the URL and come back soon and we’ll have some better information available.  If you have anything (tutorial, jig, idea) that relates to the Multi-Router, please feel free to share it & I’ll get it posted.

The purpose is to gather and document the “how to” stuff as it relates to this incredible machine.  The hope is to create a small community where owners and users of the machine can share idea, instructions, and information.

    I have had mine for about a year. I have used it to make Rocking Chairs. Right know I’m working on a chair I saw at Monticello. Thomas Jefferson’s favorite chair. The chair is called a Campeache Chair, a variation of the plantation chair.

    is this site still alive? i was so looking forward to some simple set up info but nothing here

    Yes, still alive … unfortunately not much time lately. I haven’t forgot … and will dedicate some time in the coming month to get something to get this rolling. If anyone has any tutorials, or wants to create one, please do so. I don’t see this as a one-man effort but rather a community where we can all learn from each other. I’m by no means an expert on this tool yet.

    Yes, this site is still “alive” but not full of content. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Will YOU write an article, give a tip, instructions, plans, … just about anything Multi-Router related. As for me, my life has caused some major changes and my shop (including my M-R) is in storage for a few months.

    Hi; I’ve had one for about 8 years, do love it; have made several tables with integral tenons and mortise, one with floating tenons. Takes a while to get the hang of it.
    Talked a friend into buying one( New), and he’s got a project that requires through mortise in 2-3/4″ wood. So bought a 2 flute solid carbide bit 6″ long. Gets such bad chatter when going through the side of the wood that he’s very frustrated. Can do a plunge cut in end grain fine, but side grain? gets vibration such that the worst part of his mortise is 3/4″ and the middle is 1/2″ sort of a dog bone shape. Checked all the clamps, hold down on the router; chuck snugness, etc. All ok. Bit is a USA Carbide bit.
    Ideas?
    Thanks, Mike
