This class will be broken up into two sessions. 

The first session, which all attendees must attend, will be held in the classroom where we will go over topics such as:

• Definitions/Terms/Names/Purpose of Routers & Related Items
• Explain why you'd use a router and what it can do
• How to Safely use a Router

The second session (Router 101-Lab Session) will give you the chance to actually get hands on experience using the router table and how to do a multitude of cuts & adjustments to the table.
