About the project
frezka.sk is a Slovak magazine about routing wood for the home workshop. It explains projects so that a beginner with a first plunge or trim router can manage them: what to clamp, how to set depth and speed, and where things most often go wrong. Each project has a tool list, steps, common mistakes and questions.
The site offers 4 projects with instructions, from a groove for a cabinet back panel through edge rounding and tongue and groove to routing with a template. Each shows the time, difficulty and type of bit. The speed calculator gives the highest recommended speed by bit diameter and material and converts it to a dial setting on the machine. It is based on manufacturers' tables and lists its sources.
The profile glossary shows on a board cross-section what the bit removes. In the advice section you can ask a question, and the editors read it and publish the answer after review. Machines and bits with prices are on the sister catalogue frezky.sk.

Frequently asked questions
What router do I need for the first projects on frezka.sk?
A router with an 8 mm collet and a parallel guide is enough for all four projects. Specific machines with prices are in the section Na prvé projekty stačí (enough for the first projects).
How does the calculator on frezka.sk work out speeds?
It takes the highest recommended speed by bit diameter from manufacturers' tables, limits it to your machine's maximum and converts it to a dial setting. The value marked on the bit and the machine manual always take priority.
