Until fairly recently I owned just one router. I bought it, immediately installed it in the table it came with, and it has come out of the router table exactly once since then to cut a couple slots. I have since bought one of those little “trim routers” but I still do the bulk of my routing work in the table.
I’m curious, how do the rest of you prefer to work? Do you mostly use your router handheld or in a table?
Back in the day, I worked in the hardware department of a Canadian Tire store, and an old dude is looking at the large tools. He flags me over and goes, “Which one of these things’ll get me online? My boy says I need a router!” I sent him to the Future Shop on the other side of the mall.
So you’re telling me that you routed him from the routers to the routers?
Via a directly connected route!
You know, this sounds completely unbelievable until I recall personal experience with how ridiculous people can be with technology, lol
I teach seniors how to use computers as a volunteer thing, and the number of people who flat out can’t work a mouse is shockingly high.
I’m kinda amazed we’ve still got old people that can’t computer. How are there people alive that retired in the 80’s?
You could still avoid computers in some jobs in the 1990s and into the early 2000s. And some people were supported by their spouse or other family members and never did work, or stopped working after they married or had children.
