Getting Started
All the information you need on routing products , techniques and tips to get you started . Includes an on-line guide to safe routing .
Like most topics , if you use a search engine to find information about woodworking on the internet , you ’ ll be presented with a virtual tidal wave of information .
For major manufacturers like Trend the challenge of having a presence on the web is not only to attract visitors to our site by offering catalogue information on-line , but also extra ‘ added-value ’ content thanks to web technology .
The most significant advantage of the web over printed media is the immediate availability of information worldwide , 24 hours a day . This provides a cost-effective means of keeping woodworkers up to date on new products or promotions . If product specifications change they too can be updated immediately on-line , so for example you can find out which accessories are compatible with your router .
If you ’ re making a major purchase , the first place many people look to are the independent test reviews from magazines . We ’ ve made obtaining this information easy by publishing the reviews for many of our major products , such as our routers , on our web site .
Extracts and highlights from independent test reviews for major Trend products are available on our web site .
A better understanding of a powertool can be gained from reading the manual , but traditionally you needed to buy the product to get a copy , or you might even have lost it . On the Trend web site you can simply click on a web link and view a copy of the manual online or print it out to keep .
