How to Store a Plunge Router

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Ed Reyes with Master Builders here in Tampa, Florida. I am here for Expert Village and I am going to show you how to use the proper use for a plunge router. Now when you are done with our project and everything is done and finished with, the best thing to do is go back to the step where you push down this insert, untighten the bit, pull the bit out and store it. These bits are very expensive so you probably don't want them hanging around. Once that is done, you want to make sure you depress it all the way up and lock it. Of course, you unplug it first before you do anything. You want to take a blower and blow through all of your vents here on both sides and make sure it is clean and pretty much it's been oiled as well, it's ready to go. It comes in a case, you put it in a case and make sure you store it in some place that is nice and dry. The water is the worst weapon for this right here. You want to keep the moisture out and you want to make sure you keep it well oiled. If you do those two things, you will have a tool that will last you for quite a while. "
