Basic Routing by Roy Sutton

Roy Sutton was a well-known woodworker in the world of British Woodworking in the 80s and 90s and produced a few excellent VHS tapes on working with Routers and other woodworking equipment, this video goes over the basics of using the power router, although it is a 20+ year old video many of the principles still apply to power routers today.
I do not own the copyright to this video, Fine Grain Productions Limited held the copyright but has been defunct since 2015. If you own the copyright or are Roy Sutton's Family, please get in touch if you wish for the video to be removed from TH-cam.
I believe that Roy would rather have his work freely available for all to see and make of use now that such a large amount of time has passed since it was made, let alone since he passed away rather than have it fade away into obscurity by having all hard copies either sat on people's shelves gathering dust or thrown into skips.
Roy passed away on the Sixteenth of November in 2000 at the age of 82 from an Asbestos-related illness, likely Mesothelioma.

Thank you so much for preserving this and making it available. It is good clear practical guidance, and a moving historical record of the character of Roy and the ambience of the time.

Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost and over the ages much knowledge has gone the way of the dinosaur to never be seen again.
I currently own 9 different routers each has their usage or is setup in a certain way. When I bought my first plunge router in a kit with a fixed base, I did not like it as I was only taught to use a fixed base it was not until my fixed broke down and I used the plunge that I realized that for a long time I was missing out on the unlimited possibilities. Now I use a Plunge Router based router for everything and have the fixed based only for dovetail jigs as it's depth never changes.
