Can I replace a router with hand tools?
Yes, much of what you do with a router can be done with hand planes, quietly and without dust:
Router plane – flat bottoms in recesses, housings and inlays
Plough plane – grooves along the grain
Shoulder plane and rebate plane – rebates and tenons
Hand tools come in fewer sizes than router bits, so you have to adapt the dimensions to the blades available. In return you get full control and can work anywhere.
