- Fluted cutters (used for edging and trimming)
- Profile cutters (used for shaping and trimming)
- Helical cutters (used on easily machined materials, for drilling, shaping, trimming)
- Safety glasses and ear protection should be worn at all times when using a router.

Famous quotes containing the words tools and/or equipment:
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter.”
—Betty Rollin (b. 1936)
