I am new to routing too and just bought the skil RT1322 (the plunge and fixed router combo)and the table but my question is about dust collection since I am not a full time woodworker. I only have one shop vac and the shop vac portable dust collector that attaches to a 5 gallon bucket. Do I need to run into the router only or both the table's collection and the router? This is something I am still trying to figure out but like I said I do not use the router a whole lot but I just don't like the sawdust blowing all over the garage and would like to keep it controlled as much as possible in right manner. Nice video thank you!
I have Skill’s table saw, and I love it. Skill really did a great job on that saw, but the reviews I’ve seen on the router table have been so so. The main gripe is that the left side of the fence isn’t stable. As of 2024, they’ve done away with the top router adjustment, from what I’ve read.
I made my own, stand alone router table with a half sheet of 3/4" birch plywood, with its designated fence, drawer, storage, and 3" wheels. Very cheap.
Other reviews state that this fence has problem, it is not solid fence, it wobbles
You were the only one I've seen that "Nailed" the correct way to do it.
of course! it's the simple solutions that matter. thanks for posting this
Hopefully I can remember this, don't use a brad nailer that often, but it is a great tip!
Nice project. Horrendous 'music' really spoils it.
I am so sorry that you have this chronic illness, my nephew has it too and same path as you! Keep well, thank you for the video!
What bit is that in the dremmel for roughing out the bowl of spoon
Great visual and explanation! Literally this tip saved Christmas 🤣🙏🏼
Just came across this video and it was very helpful. I have a cnc machine so making my molds would be a plus. Excited to try your techniques. I did want to ask where you get your 3/8" plywood. My local box store doesn't carry it. Just curious.
Everything but a cut
Thanks. I was over-thinking this tool buy as usual haha
Thanks for the video. This is the only one I could find that made sense for how to set up vectric.
Thanks for the video. Great presentation of the features. Is it possible to also change the bit from above the table?
I need this tool, where have I get this? kindly inform me
Helpful instructions. Why didn't you take more than one measurement? Only one measurement could be misleading on the accurcey of this method.
I'll tell you why. More money than sense!
Really! What bit is that?
I noticed that you made no mention to the potential difficulty of changing the speed settings on the router itself since it's all digital and on the top (now facing downwards). Please elaborate or provide feedback on how you were able to work around this?
Hey Ben I got the same router and the same router table as you have in the video here I got mine at Amazon I am very happy with it both are skil the router is skil RT1322-00 and the table is a skil Srt1039 I also have a skil reciprocating saw to I do maintenance at a apartment complex where I live and also do wood working I make wood picture frames and I just started making wood signs the skil router really shines I had the router and table for a year now I am always looking for ways to improve my work thanks for the video I added you so I can see more videos of wood working . From Ed in Oregon
Perfect for small projects. Not got a lot of power so if the wood starts to flex it stops the saw pretty easy. Use it for small tasks and you will be happy. Safety system Works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c .lose your grip on the saw it shuts off and the sheath closes over exposed saw.
Where you speed up and blow through the settings is exactly where you should slow down. People are coming to your video to clear up confusion and speeding up doesn't help.
I knew there was a cure. Thanks for the tip
Five min in and lost interest
😍
I have many older style craftsman router tables and routers, bought this table and router combo to have a new option in the shop and the height adjustment, went together in 8 minutes I think. What was the solution you came up with for the dust collection from 2 points and that port on the router faces forward instead of towards the rear of the table?
Great work :D
Great tip! It works
Using natural veg tan, would you die before or after the wet molding process?
Question. Did you block off the saw dust port on the router? It points forward and no way to add a vaccuum to it.
That was an excellent explanation, thanks! I've watched a few explanations of this concept but none that explained it quite as well. Way to Go! Just to clarify, from a newbie -- if the nail head direction is parallel to the bottom piece (and also parallel to the wood grain in your example piece of bottom wood), you have a greater chance of shining because the nail can be deflected from the wood grain. However if you nail perpendicular to the bottom piece and thus the wood grain, the nail will likely straddle the wood grain rather than be deflected? So then if the grain of the bottom piece is perpendicular to the orientation of the wood piece itself (i.e. in your setup, the wood grain of your bottom piece is rotated 90 degrees - I forget what type of cut that would be called - would it change how the nail gun should be oriented? Is the orientation of the gun dependent on the orientation of the whole bottom piece or just it's grain? I realize it's been awhile since you posted this, so an answer from anyone else would be appreciated. I'm a newbie and want to get it right! :) Thanks all! - Fawn
I have a ryobi router table, and the top is made of the same material this router table top is made of, and that's mdf. So over time, the table will sag in the middle and become useless, I'm having that problem now, trying to fix the bow currently but definitely need to upgrade to metal or plastic
I’m new to all this so I apologize in advance but how far out can the fence be pushed? I believe you mentioned it can get up to 1/4 inch from the bit, but how far from the bit would it go? The reason I ask is because I’m making a fairly large template and I think I need about 8 inches of room on one side. Thank you.
I just bought the Bosh router table took me about 4-5 hours to put that thing together it sturdy as crap now and I like that the table is a pretty decent size. That molding looked really really good.
Which router model are you using in this video?
Remote mount the bin in the garage. Problem solved m
Lost me after 20 seconds, seriously. Took too long to explain that you're doing a short explanation, when it was obvious that you were going to take forever to get to the point.
I have a older Ryobi router, from the 80's I use all the time. Will this table fit it? The table I presently have it mounted to is a Vermont American, very basic but works. I am looking to upgrade to a nicer table.
dust shroud useless!
Best explanation covering the two different ways to Zero that I have seen yet.
Does the dust collector suck heated air from the shop to the cold attic? I live in a cold state and hate to suck my heated air out of my shop. Any ideas?
I can’t deny it certainly does pull warm air out of the shop pretty quickly! That being said though I recently insulted the attic/ceiling joists above the drywall and the benefits were two fold: 1.) the shop space takes much less heat to warm up and therefore unless I am running a very long carve or other operation on any other tools connected to the DC I have experienced a much less significant temp swing and the recovery time has been cut in at least half! And 2.) The added sound dampening is AMAZING! 😍 it’s honestly kinda eerie sucking up dust and cleaning the shop when you literally can’t even hear the dust collected turn on let alone hear the droning sound of the motor as it runs 😂 It gets chilly here in Boise, ID but I wouldn’t necessarily consider it to be a harsh winter climate (we’ll have 7-10 days in the teens to 20’s freedomheight but generally speaking we’re more frequently closer to 40 degrees so once the shop warms up and I get the 8” cement block walls warm the chill has a hard time setting back in with any significance or speed
Doh! Hit send a bit prematurely there 😂🤦🏻♂️😆 I meant to close that comment with a final thought and that is that if you have a small shop (as you can see mine is a one car garage measuring 15x20’ with just a 7’ high ceiling space is so precious that in my mind losing some heat temporarily every once in a while is an incredibly small price to pay! I would say I’m more concerned with losing cool air in the summer than heat but we’ll top out at 110 degrees of dry heat in the summer and we’ll go 3-4 months per year where the only forecast you need to see is the first warm dry day of the year and you can be sure the next 90-100 days will be between 90 and 115 degrees with barely a cloud in sight and rain showers being rarer than my hand cut dovetails fitting together cleanly 😂 The attic may not be the “ideal” place to put it but I’d have mine outside the shop regardless of the size of the shop from now on and I believe you’d have the same issues mentioned above regardless of whether you stuck it in the attic or beside the shop outside the walls.
Looks a bt complicated but a potential workable solution for an issue I am about to encounter. I am looking at getting a MacBook Pro mostly for video editing - my windows computer continues to bog down with video editing. My only frustration is that Vectric doesn't work on Macs - this may be a solution. I am also looking at Parallels but have heard that can be an issue. Do you have any opinions on running Aspire on a Mac with Parallels or something other than AWS?
Dose my windows computer need to be connected or near by when using iPad?
Great tips here for us "nerdy woodworkers" LOL For sure!
Simple tricks but effective :)
I would think that zeroing to machine would be much more advantageous given that this never moves. Everything else is known ie material thickness spoil board thickness and tool length. So using and offset with those known thickness would be easier. I’m new to cnc so maybe I’m not understanding why the other method is used more. Great video.
