			The router is a standard wood router. Several kinds of bit are provided. Materials to be cut should be wood.

			A vacuum is wired into the switch that controls the router. Without the vacuum, large amounts of fine dust are generated.

			# Safety glasses.
			# Closed toed shoes or boots.
			# Long hair must be tied back, tucked in, or otherwise wrangled so that it will not be wrapped or snagged by the machine.
			# No loose clothes such as ties, draw strings, bolos, skirts, sleeves, hoods, or capes. Roll long sleeves to the elbow or wear short sleeves.
			# Do not wear heavy gloves while operating machines. Thick nitrile gloves are appropriate, but leather or work gloves are a snagging hazard.

			== Learning Resources ==
			Follow the links below for more details on the capabilities of each machine, operating manuals, and learning resources.
