Do it yourself channel based in Alaska. Come join me as I build a compost bin, a greenhouse, a shed, and outfit a new 24x36 garage. I recently retired and took up woodworking. Not an expert, just someone learning new skills and willing to share them.
Testing Undersized Router Bits
I test 2 sets of undersized router bits, one from Yonico ($26) and one from Whiteside ($62). I actually measured the plywood (.217in) the Whiteside 1/4in (.221) and the Yonico 1/4in (.201). Remember your results may be different. I can take 3 measurements with my cheap calipers and get 3 different results.

Thanks for the review. I just picked up an EGO, same basic machine. It's too powerful for me, it really rips you around, even with the smallest battery, I thought the anti-kickback would work better. I have very rocky soil (hardpan). I don't recommend getting one of these, my thigh still hurts from being smacked!
I agree, sold mine after 24 holes. Don't plan on digging that many again without a skidsteer!
What a beautiful board. It's a real chess player's board - no distractions, simple (and you oriented it correctly, “light is right”). I wouldn't feel too bad about the engraving not standing out, I think it’s better than something in light letters “screaming” during a game. For a display board you can go crazy, but if your intention is to have this board actually used you hit the sweet spot.
Thank you for your kind words. It is well used by now!
Great vid, thanks! I have an old craftsman 113 with cast iron webbed wings and plan to do what you did. My only question is: wont the router wing be too heavy? Will the bolts be enough?
I have a 1x2 bolted underneath to support it. I would not try to support it with screws into the particle board....the hardwood border helps too.
Just thought of something else. I always watch my material's reference edge when ripping... to make sure it's not drifting away from the fence. If your material thickness lands in one of those t-slots, you won't be able to see if it's tight against the fence.
You are correct. I didn't even think of it until it happened.
Looks like a good upgrade to the very thin aluminum stock faces. But you had my OCD on overdrive with all that dust in the tube. BLOW that OUT! Wouldn't want any to get between the fence bar and your new t-track face!
Sir when I was upload surfacing program it's going to work one line and suddenly stopped and showing grbl 1.1h for help longmill mk2. Please help me....
The idiot who designed the base needs replacing! You are limited to small-diameter bits. I need it for a 1-inch round-over. The bit is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
I already have a fancy high end Triton for off the table, but its way too cumbersome to put on and off my router table; so Im looking at a cheaper one I can permanently mount up. I saw you make a few comments about the plunge action being crap; and thats a non isssue for the use case for me due to it being mounted in a router lift. Cheers.
Thanks for the great video. You are an excellent teacher
Thank you for taking the time to say so!
3 zone valves with 1 24v transformer. My coworkers making me look like dumb at work. The way they engineered hydronic systems was a crap at work. Hotel😂😂😂😂. A few believes. The engineers are rusty 😂😂😂😂. They don’t know basic electric currents and wattages😂😂😂
6/6/24 this is the best wishing well with directions and blueprints. Your directions were excellent precise it to the point and understanding. I made a couple of modifications and streamlining the roof and side posts for the crank. Used the block stop at a 45 to take one inch off the roof board corners, came out excellent with still a 3-in overhang. Wife inspected and loved.Thank you very much Paul 👍
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the kind words!
“Like I have to use these things” lmao
Can you shed some light on how the panels were attached to the rhino cross bars? Thanks
Hi thanks very much for your video on Jessem Router Lift Install. Could you please tell me what diameter and cutting length pattern bit you used when using your template to cut the final pocket. It looks like 3/4 diameter 1/2" cutting length but wasn't sure. It also looks like you are using 1/2" mdf for your template? I have been having some difficulty after creating my template cutting the final pocket. Thanks.
This is the bit I was using: amzn.to/3V2lC1C Had to buy it just for this project.
Nice ..
As a semi-experienced DIY-er myself, I really appreciated your humility and honesty - I think you might be a little hard on yourself. You didn't mention the priming button in the setup section, did I miss it? Also I really appreciated the tips at the end, those were very helpful. Thank you🎉
Yes, at about 1:30 or so, thanks for the kind words. th-cam.com/video/P_Zy8Sm--cs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Z9ItQH7VxMzcudRO&t=87

hi, just saw this video on upgrading delta 36-725 T2 table saw fence with t-track. I have the same table saw. I would love to upgrade with t-track but cannot find a t-track to work with the delta fence. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. Please if you know where I can get the same t-track you installed I would greatly appreciate it. Taylor tools does not have it.
So, no worries, played with the t-track from Taylor tools (I ordered the t-track and tried to install but did not work) I tried it again and it worked not fence adjustments at all. When I originally put it on, I misjudged height. So truly thank you for the video without the video I wouldn't know that there was actually a t-track available for delta table saw.
I bought my Long mill over 2 years ago and that my friend is what I did and exactly how I did it for the fence, except I don't want T-Tracks. Great job
I have changed the fence design since. I have it split so I can slide a longer board in there if needed. Sure wish my spoilboard still looked this good. Might be time for a new one.
Thanks for ding the comparison. I was wondering about the Yoniko bits. I have used Whiteside, Amana, and Freud bits for years. They have always delivered top quality for my work. I will continue to follow the same path as always and stick to what I know has always worked for me in my shop. Thanks again Criss. I think I got that right. Ron .
I feel the same way, you can't go wrong with those 3. It's Mike Criss....thanks for stopping by.
@@AlaskaWorkshop Ok Mike. Got it. Thank you. will be tuning in to check on the nest video.
What about the dust from the saw falling onto the cabinet?
It is my dust collector for sure. The dust collection on this saw is awful. Plan on taping up the seams underneath the saw.
I really enjoy your videos. I see that you have Wen products. Do you recommend the track saw? Right now ,I put the plywood on the floor on top of foam insulation and use the Kreg rip cut guide with the circular saw. It works but the cut is never exact.
I am still using my Wen track saw but like you, I never trust that it will be exact. I cut to within an eighth of an inch and then finish up with the table saw. I am looking to upgrade it soon.
If you’ve got rocks a power auger is not your friend for post holes. There isn’t a hand auger on the market that would be better in this situation.
You are correct
Just subbed! Love your stuff especially about the Delta table saw as I am learning my way around mine.
It's a great saw for the money. Still have mine after 4 years. The project I couldn't do without is the fold-up outfeed table.
Spot on review, I found the same issue! And, for smaller folks like myself, it is a bit on the heavy side.
Yes, I probably should have mentioned that....especially after the 10th hole or so!
I'm glad I found this video. I'll be giving this a shot, and then your collapsible outfeed table also.
I use them both still....I couldn't live without the outfeed table.
Hi - I like the built and, love the measuring tape with the track for the stops. I'm working on configuring a one-car garage shop. My question is, since you've built this, have your ever regretted (might be a harsh word) not incorporating your table saw into the same built for out feed? Thanks, Matt
Hey Matt. My table saw incorporates my router table and has its own outfeed. I like having them separate and they are both on wheels. Works for my shop.
Measure twice cut once lol I use mechanical pencils when I'm doing trim carpentry but yeah a lot of people need to learn this or put the tools down if they are not willing to do it right they shouldn't be doing it
Yep, I go through a lot of lead with my mechanical pencil!
IF you open one of your gable vents & put a fan in the other, the air will simply enter one & shoot straight across your GH & exit the other leaving the lower part of your GH hot. LOW enter HIGH exit. !
I have a solar-powered fan I will be installing as soon as the snow melts! Thanks
The 7/16 th drill bit was epiphany..lol. this presentation was perfect. Very easy to reproduce
Thank you, glad you got something from it.
Great video. Every other version of french cleat lumber racks has seemed wildly over-engineered. I know this video is two years old, but if you happen to notice this comment, let us know how these have held up since then!
when I do that somehow it always ends up 3foot short
Nice touch with the walnut boundary. I like the threaded inserts that you used to attach the lift to the particle board. I suspect you acquired those separately, and they don't come with the lift?
Yes 1/4 20 inserts. I used them quite a bit around the shop. I added a link in the description. amzn.to/3TEAlyR
Interesting and inspiring,simple and usefull.
Thanks, still using it. I have too many router bits for it now!
@@AlaskaWorkshop my regard from indonesia
Skidsteers are not a fair comparison. Any auger will have these issues.
True, if you don't want to beat yourself up ditch the handheld augers
Great upgrade for my new delta saw. Also added the folding out fed table 0:40
The outfeed table was definitely the best upgrade I did on this saw. I use it every cut! th-cam.com/video/758DefXv8dk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qlv9_LxfnQYr0-jT
As a cabinetmaker I did this all the time.
I bet, I am doing faceframes for my cabinets here.
With the center being 28 inches and wood not angled is there enough room for the saw to swing all the way to 60 degrees. I have a dewalt 779, which appears to be similar to what you have on your table.
No, I can move to the left 45 and to the right 50 degrees. I have the 779 as well, good saw.
I've been doing that! It works fantastic
That takes off a heavy hair; about 1/32” If you want to take off a light hair, touch the stock against the teeth of the blade; you remove about 1/64”
Good tip!
I use a disc sander. Just touch it on the turning disc until it fits.
That works too! Sometimes I might just hit it with a sanding block.
Wow nice.that happened to me once and I try trimming the piece and I cut it to short,so I had to cut a new piece. Thanks for the tip.
The way I do it is I take it back to the miter saw. Cut off what I believe to be a smidge. Go see how it fits. Realize it’s now too short. Cuss. Do the walk of shame to cut a brand new piece to try again. Maybe I’ll try your way next time
Ha, I have done that a few times too! Great comment!
That's exactly what I do.
Every blade has wobble. Push it up to the tooth.
What if the protrusion of the teeth is more than you need to trim?
That is when you use a sanding block with 80 grit sandpaper.
yes you can shave off 1/32 of a inch.
100% what I was looking for; "now you know what you get", thanks Red Green 👍
Ha, thanks for commenting!
Would that tape hack also work with dado blades on table saw?
Not as well, the fence is long. I would just put a shim in the stack. Also, be careful which way you are widening the dado.
That’s what I was meaning.. my .005 shims came up missing somehow
Nice one 👍🏻 add that to the tool kit.
