Updates on / suj.menon
This product is manufactured by Guangzhou J&M CNC Tool Store. And is directly available on their website: spacecnc.com/30000rpm-800w-el...
So, in this video, we will look at this woodworking trim router (laminate trimmer),
a collection of router bits that came with the set,
try out all the bits and see how they perform,
create a simple tabletop jig,
make a cactus planter box,
and finally, compare this with my other low-cost Aldi trim router.
The video starts with an unboxing and in-depth overview of the router. All the router cutter bits are discussed in detail, and these include chamfer 45 degrees, roman ogee, western profile, round over, straight cut, flush trim, cove box, dovetail. I also made an oak planter box, which incidentally is a common design sold on Etsy. And, also made some square oak coasters as well.

Who else “ohhh” and “ahhh” when he flipped the counter to reveal the miter saw?
Haha, thanks bud 👍😁
In India it's called "Jugad" (hack). We apply such hacks to overcome resource crunch (land and money) and moreover we are not the world's most populous country 😂
I had the same reaction. 😮
8:34 Now, I know what you’re talking about.😂😂😂😅.
clever jugaad
for some reason this video was the best compared to all ther others i watched and didn´t understand. love the demonstration of the bits. this is what i call a a to z - tutorial
Awesome, thank you! 👍
I agree. I finally feel confident enough to use my router.
As a complete novice using a router this video is the best for instructions and easiest to follow i have seen so far,
Thankyou for demonstrating that the very cheapest palm routers are actually quite ok. There are so many tool snobs who wont even look at budget priced tools. I have a work shop full of cheap tools and manage to make lots of furniture for my house without any problems. If a cheap power tools fails just buy another one it wont break the bank.
Absolutrly, you bet. For a DIY use, these are more than enough
Thanks a million for the video- I’m new to woodworking & I’ve never used a router, so this was EXACTLY what I needed to view!
Glad it was useful 👍, and thanks for watching
Best router video I've seen all night! Thanks so much, so clear, so simple, so informative! Not afraid to show us what a mistake looks like, thanks so much! Cheers from the USA!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks a lot 👍 😁
I had no idea how to use the trimmer my wife bought me for Christmas. This video saved me! Thank you so much Sir!!
glad it was useful. enjoy the new trimmer 👍
an Oscar award on how to make a detailed video, short and to the point i also appreciated the honesty part about your mistake well done sir
Haha. Thanks man. You made my day 😁👍
Excellent explanations & demonstrations. Straightforward and very clearly produced. Thank you. Best wishes from Scotland.
It's awesome to see reviews on low end models in such detail. Now I have more understanding on the capability of this model, thanks!
No problem, glad it was helpful 😊 👍
Excellent! Non- patronising, encouraging, with great tips to boot.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching buddy 👍 😀
The first video I see about the uses of the bits. Thank you. I bought a router trimmer just like yours for £18 on ebay, I use it on the router table.
Great to hear! 👍😀
Thanks for this great video - as a newbie this was really helpful and informative, I love how you keep it simple and explain all the details. Thanks Suj!
Thanks Daryl, glad it was useful👍😁
Thank you so much Suj, very nicely detailed and well thought out project examples. Wish I could like it 1k times
Haha, thanks so much Edmund 😁👍
Thanks for demonstrating the Roman Ogee profile. I received one of those bits in a kit. Your demo gave me an idea to use this bit to edge my next wood sign project 👍
Glad it was useful 👍, and thanks for watching 😁
One of the few trim router videos I have watched from start to finish. Also, was impressed with the flip tabe for the miter saw. Well done sir.
Thank you very much! 😁👍
Excellent video. Very informative and love the demo. No standing in front of the camera and talking. Loved how you made it look so simple.
Thanks mate 👍😁. Glad it was useful
Great video from someone who obviously uses the tools. Learned loads, thanks for the upload.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
Thanks for the video! I'm new to woodworking and this video was very helpful! I enjoyed seeing what each bit produces and the simple projects at the end!
Awesome, thank you! 😊
You make it look like it's too simple that i have to rewatch the whole thing after getting started. Nice.
haha, thanks for the comment. :)
Thanks Suj for the great explanation and that planter looks amazing!
Thanks pal 👍 😁
Starting to learn how to use a router. Thank you for explain simply to a layman. Every little helps and I'm sure I will become bit more confident sooner than later.
Glad it was helpful, Asghar. Thanks 👍 😁
Your videos are very informative and have a unique charm, your comments are frank and honest, so refreshing.
Thanks for the great comment, buddy 👍😁
Merci pour vos émissions. Continuer votre bon travail!
Good info, Suj. The simple router table top at 7:44 by itself was "worth the price of admission" for me. Thanks for posting.
Thanks a lot, bud 👍
Excellent and thorough explanation. This is what I wait to get it. Thank you
Glad it was useful, and thanks for watching 👍😁
This is the best video so far, it's precise and easy to comprehend. You are the best
Wow, thanks! 😁
Just bought a trimmer like this, found your video extremely helpful!
Great to hear! 👍😁
Great tutorial Suj. I have just found your site, yes I know, but better late than never. Very informative for the beginner like my self and a few uses you showed are going to help me 100%. Also the way you showed how each bit works was good to see. I have just acquired the work zone router a few weeks ago at a car boot sale with a few router bits. I am now much more confident to try it out. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! And all the best with the workzone router 👍 😀
Your video is very helpful. And the language handling is very clear.❤
Thank you! 😃
This is the best video I have seen! Great ideas easy simple well explained in easy detail. This video is definitely going in my diy playlist to do soon. Thank you for this video and your time.
Awesome! Thank you! 👍😁
Nice review mate, I like that they give you the bits as well. It’s great for a beginner woodworker.
Cheers Harki, yes its decent enough for beginners. Thanks for watching buddy 😁👍
Suj...great video...well done. Image quality was great and the entire video was informative and very easy to follow. I can't wait to put my trim router to work.
Thanks a lot 👍😁. Hope you have a great time with the router 👍
You packed so many great, informative things in your video! I loved your descriptions of router bits, the homemade router mount (perfect!) and router techniques. Thank you so much!
Glad it was useful mate 👍 😁
Short complete informative video for all wood trimmer router related .Thank you ..
Thanks for the feedback 👍😁
This is the first video posted by you that I have seen. I like the very clear, easy to understand presentation. Unlike many other woodwork project videos, the viewer doesn't need a workshop with table saw, bandsaw, welding gear, angle grinders, large drill press etc. etc....those videos would put off a beginner, whereas yours encourages one to think 'yeah, let's have a go! I like the way you explained (and even demonstrated) common snags along the way! The only thing I would add is the provision of (even just a clamp on) fence for the simple router table. I'm sure I'll need that to produce nice even and straight results. Thanks!
Thanks Chris. Glad it was useful and thanks for the additional fence tip👍
Excellent discourse use of router function. Made it look really simple👍👍
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching pal 😀👍
Thank you for this video. It is the most informative video on the net for a total newbie like me. I've only just got a palm router, I'm making a stock for my air rifle and have never done anything with wood before but you have really helped me so thank you my man. You're an actual legend.
haha, thanks lot bud! 👍 😀
Being a newby to routers, this video was very helpful. Great job on it.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video mate. Very interesting and informative. Thank you for taking the time to do it.👍
My pleasure! 😀👍
Firstly, thank you for this video. As a DIYer I'm only looking to buy inexpensive tools so I would probably never buy a high end router so these videos are highly appreciated. And secondly, when you did that flip for the saw I immediately perked up and subscribed because i don't have a garage and will never have all the fancy tools most of the woodworking channels have but that flip workbench thingy is totally feasible for me!
Hey thanks, Johanna. Glad the video was useful, and good luck with the build 😀 👍
Thankyou for a very informative video, have just bought a router and now excited to start using it on my wood crafts. Oh and love the flip counter with the miter 😊
Wonderful! Thanks 👍 😊
Been having a lil router but never used it. Slightly intimidated by it. But this video has given me courage to open that box and start creating edges. Thanks for your help. Great video.
Glad it was helpful. Make sure the work piece is "clamped" down, before routing the edges 👍. And be aware of that initial sudden spin effect when the router is switched on.
The router spinning at very high speed. Do pay extra attention for safety. Especially for fingers, eyes, and lungs, from those very fine wood chips and sharp router bites.
I’m glad I came across your vid. Learned some valuable tips. Great job 👍
Thank you for the comment 😊
Thank you very good video and great to see you set the router up for use on jig and clamp to bench so you can use hands moving timber across it and as a new person I will now have better view of the item being routed and now can see where I may be going right or wrong and get to try out the other bits so I see the uses better. Great job thank you so much
No problem, thanks very much 👍😁
Hi Sir. As a beginner, the demo was fantastic. Very much appreciated and free to uTube subscribers. Pls show more smaller project builds. Thank u.
Thanks a lot Nirupa 👍😁. There are a few in my channel. Will try and upload smaller builds
Great video!! I just got a router and had no idea how to use it so this is perfect!!
Glad I could help!
Yeah! That got a “WOW” outta me for sure!
thanks bud 👍 😀
Great explanation straight to the point easy to understand good job
cheers pal, glad it was useful 👍
Thanks for this as the basic price router is something most can afford
Cheers James. Glad it was useful 👍 😁
This video is awesome. I’m starting to learn how to use a router. A little intimidating. Your video helped me a lot. Thanks
Thanks bud, glad it was useful 👍 😀 . Ask the best
Good vid. I appreciate that you leave in your mistakes...we learn more from the mistakes made than displays of excellence.
Thanks, I appreciate that! 🙏
I just bought mine last week. I plan to make my own bedframes and headboards. This router should do the trick. If it works, kitchen table and coffee tables are next. Can't wait to start
Sounds like a great deal of projects lined up. Good luck 👍 😁
GREAT video, thanks a lot Suj!
Thanks bud 👍 😁
Excellent video, very informative and helpful 👍🏾
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊
Great video! I bought a small hand router a lot like the one featured in your video, and this gives me great examples of what I can do with it. I just DIY for the sake of home improvement so it is great to see a good beginner video with plenty of ideas I can make use of. Keep up the great work!
Cheers Marcus 😁👍. Nothing better than DIY'ing. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Great video and good choice of projects to demonstrate
Thanks, glad it was helpful 👍😁
I just recived my router as same as this one with the same pits u show us here. I know its for just small user like e but i realy like to learn how to use it. Thank u so much for the info so much.
Sadiq, thanks for sharing. Hope it works great for your intended projects 👍😀
Nice router basics video Suj. Lawn looks great too 😊
Haha, James. The lawn got trimmed as well. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great video. Loving your easygoing style! 👍
Thanks bud 👍
Great video. I just bought a small Mikita and found this very useful
Thanks 👍😁. Good luck with the router. Makita's are great piece of kit.
Simple and precise - thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed the video. Want to show the kids how to do engraving, so looking for a cheap router that I won't mind if they kill it. This seems to fit the bill. My favourite part of the video was seeing your bench! Superb.
Haha, thanks for that, Rob. Yes, these ones are cheap and cheerful 😊 👍
I just bought that same machine, delighted to see it's not that bad 😅
Cheers bud. Its not bad at all. But just a heads-up, it is not that great either for long use.
Great video. Really useful and been trying to find a video like this for a while. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Phil 👍 😁
Great to watch, nice little video,,, keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the watch and comment 😀👍
Thank you so much for this, that router looks perfect for my needs, great video and very well explained, now a subscriber
Awesome, and thanks for the sub! 👍😁
@@SujMenon having watched your video four times now I have finally went and bought the same router and router bits. Cannot wait to try it out.
Love this video! Can’t wait to view your others.
Yay! Thank you once again!
Thank you 😊 for an amazing video from which I learnt so much. Much appreciated, thank you😊
Thanks for the great feedback, Mohammad 👍😁
Thanks for an informative & well made video
Glad you liked it. thanks pal 👍😄
Great video. Quick and to the point with full of information thanks!,
Thanks 👍 😊
Hi Suj, I am Dr Suresh. Quite recently I started interest in wood work projects and collected a few power tools, studying and doing small works as a hobby. I found your presentation clear and highly useful.Thank you. I am from Cochin, Kerala.
Ah thanks a lot, Dr Suresh. Incidentally, half of my family is from Kochi, small world!
Awesome very explained all bits great work man
Thanks pal 👍😁
thank you so much for putting time into making such a great video ! i saw this unbranded router on ebay and had no idea how itd compare to say, a ryobi. this cheap router seems like it holds up for a home hobby studio :)👍
You're so welcome! But just a word of warning that they aren't the greatest of quality, though 👍😊
Hello from France !! Very good test and review 😉
Hey, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, i just bought a new router, I'm new to this, I'll try it soon.😊
That's great. Good luck with your builds 👍😁
Thank you for this. I just bought a Maktec 370 -- a Makita product and the budget equivalent of the Makita 3709. I'm very pleased with it but am still learning the basics. I believe this Chinese router is based on the same design, but regardless of that I found your introduction very clear and helpful. I subscribed.
Thanks a lot John, glad the video was helpful 👍😁
I am very interested, if I want to buy, what is the procedure .
Great review mate. I have the katsu trim router, both the corded & 18v models. Great looking plant box too
thanks Dave. yes, I saw that. Great addition to the workshop. The Katsu ones are really well made!
What luck! I'm just starting to make a small planter box. This video was perfect. Also liked that portable trim router table top....Subscribed.
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the sub 👍😀
Nice clear explanations. Thank you.
Thanks bud 👍
Great video, this has really helped me out, thanks 🙏
Glad it helped! 👍
Great video very informative and love the Roman orgy 😉👍
Haha.. 😁. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi just got one....thank you for making the video.....very helpful
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching bud 👍
Just what i was looking for. Thanks bud
cheers, thanks for watching 👍😀
G’day Suj, you’ve put about 10 videos into 1 here & this one has been nice viewing mate. Roman Ogee creates somewhat an elaborate finish in my opinion. Looking forward to the next instalment of videos you’ve got cooking up mate 🍻👍👍👍👍
Thanks Dirk. Yes roman ogee is a great finish indeed. I did jam pack a few things in the video, so as not to spend too much time editing, lol. Inital draft footage was around 35 mins long, which i cut to almost half. Haha 😁👍
Great video - I just bought this exact set for my girlfriend, she’ll be very happy with this!
Fantastic!
@@SujMenon have you noticed the adjuster for the guide fence being a bit loose, seems very hard to get the thing tight enough to stop it sliding?
@@snappo20 mine was ok, but if the screw thread doesn’t seems proper, it might be better to send it back.
Awesome video! Love all the examples!
Thanks bud 👍 😁
Proper explanation excellent
Thanks bud 👍
Thank you, Sir. Great video!
Very welcome
Excellent video mate! Just subscribed, cheers👍🏴🇬🇧
Thanks very much, bud 👍 😀
😂great video. Really useful and informative. You set me up for my project today 👍
Great to hear! All the best 👍
Thank you for the lessons.
Cheers, thanks 😊
Thanks for the video I'm learning how to use a router and you have very very good information, I noticed that you did not explain how deep to put the bit in the router and I really love how you have your saw under the table and just flip it.
Glad it was helpful! And good that you bought the topic about the height of the bit in the router. I completely missed that, haha. I usually put around 75% of the shank of the router bit inside the collet. I believe anything over 50% is good. The key thing as you already know, is to make sure that the collet has sufficient grip on the shank of the router bit.
@@SujMenon Thanks
I bought exactly this one yesterday. Need to learn to use it properly.
👍
Nice video , thanks for sharing your experience with us. Iam from kerala.
Thank you Jerry 👍. Good to see another malayalee 😁
@@SujMenon few days back I bought a Makita 3700 palm router, and I start to learn its usage from KZhead. Iam very much passionate to buy different power tools, for my personal use. Iam a fabricator ( aluminum and steel ). My native place in Aluva EKM dist.
Good video quality....editing etc..no messing around..valuable info...much appreciated..looks like you need some extra overhead lighting though, makes a difference...:-)
Haha thanks pal, yes, lighting has always been bugging me in my garage.
Nice review... and couple of nice simple project to boot...
Thanks Dale, yes, a few easy small projects 😀 👍
I’m in awe at 8:34. That’s excellent.
Thanks bud 👍 😁
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching! 👍
So you not only explained things perfectly but you also showed us what NOT to do which is always helpful. It’s like weight loss they always show ppl who are just about anorexic lol so thank you for being real. Now because of this you got a like and a new subscriber lol.
Haha, thanks very much. Much appreciated 🙏 ☺️
