  • @z28ntexas
    @z28ntexas 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Building an Adirondack chair for EXAMPLE … I have determined exactly where my fasteners need to go when assembling the chair. The plus now is... I don't need tape for routing.
    *I simply counter sink a screw through the existing hole in the template and into the piece of wood.
    *I visit my local hardware store and ask for "scrap" plexiglass/acrylic and pay pennies on a dollar. I use them for templates.
    *I draw my outline onto the piece of wood... then remove the screws and set aside the valuable template.
    *I can now with confidence, cut as close to the outline as possible without endangering a template.
    *Afterwards, I realign the template using those same screw holes to the lumber and begin safely routing.
    *When routing is complete, I remove the screws and then use those holes for my fasteners for assembly. Of course, if you are using larger fasteners, simply drill out a larger hole.
    *I love the acrylic/plexi because the shape stays true after countless uses... and... if you accidently drop a template on the floor as I have, it doesn't dent like a wood type template would.
    *happy routing!

    Wow! Thanks very much for this video, Jonathan. These are good band saw tips as well as router tips. I'm still learning to use my benchtop band saw and router table and this couldn't be more timely. I've been afraid to pull the trigger on the moxon vise templates because I pretty much suck at both tools. Now I'm feeling like I might be able to make a go of that vise with a little more practice on these tips. Thanks.

    Nice description, i knew a lot of it but it was a good refresher and certainly a good thorough description about feed direction vs grain direction for anyone who is a little confused about it. I had a situation with a 1/4" template bit in a table that caught like that and it also bent the shaft of the bit so it caused some INSANE vibration, so your kickback demonstration is very important. Also, I want one of those double bearing bits now.

    • @deliaguzman1138
      @deliaguzman1138 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same here-had thin “fins” I was routing with my template, and I chewed up two of them and had one pulled out of my hands. SCARY. I had no clue that I needed to worry about grain-just the direction I was supposed to feed the workpiece. Thanks, Jonathan!

    A few of things:
    Your use of the term "safety pin" implies using it provides some sure element of safety, which it might not. Porter Cable calls it a starting pin and I prefer that terminology as that's what you use it for. You generally only need it for starting on smaller pieces, when you need to approach the bit very slowly or to help maintain control of the situation where you need to start routing one edge but not the edge perpendicular to it. Like many others here, I didn't know what it was supposed to be used for until I saw a demonstration on it at a Rockler store. It came with my Incra router lift. I use it occasionally. When I was making rail-and-stile panels, I used the starting pin a lot as those bits are huge.
    Visible tear out against the grain depends on the bit and the wood. Tear out cannot be eliminated, only minimized. The harder the wood, the worse it is. Going in the other direction by flipping the work piece can sometimes help, but sometimes there's no choice. Take the case of the hand grips on the leaves of a butler tray table when all sides of the hand grip need to be rounded, with and against the grain. Going slow helps but that will tend to produce router bit burn. That burn can be sanded off and repaired easier than grossly visible tear out.
    The flush trim bit can help produce very straight and accurate cuts in pieces that are just too long or awkward to cut on any other device. You just need a long straight edge clamped to your work piece (and any work piece needs to be secured to the work bench with at least 2 clamps). The larger the diameter of the flush trim bit the more effective and smoother the cut will be. A 1 degree cutting angle error made in a dining room table top piece 40 inches across will result in a lateral error on the far end of "only" 0.7 inches. If your table will have leaves, nothing will line up! You cannot fix this and have a clean edge with any other tool besides your hand router, trim bit and a nice straight edge. A jointer will not guarantee parallel surfaces, only straight ones.
    Using templates is very useful but not problem-free. The double stick tape will pull off material from it or it's not sticking well enough. If you plan to use the template a lot, applying shellac to its surface and letting it dry overnight will help the tape stick to the template better without removing template material when separating the pieces or pulling off the tape. The bearing will mar the surface of the template on repeated use. If the template is hardwood, that is best and the harder the better. Damaged template surfaces can be so-so repaired with the epoxy-type wood fillers (Bondo, etc.), but full strength takes much longer than the advertised15 minutes. Nitto tape is very expensive and you appeared to use a lot of it. I use the 3M Scotch foam double stick tape. It is less than 1/6" thick and you don't need very much of it. Two to four small pieces, 3/8", is generally all that you need. If there is any warping of the template or work piece, the paper-type double stick tape may be too thin to adequately adhere to it, so the foam tape would be definitely better. The putty knife method of separation is fine if you don't want to reuse the tape (sometimes the tape can be used more than once). It can also scratch up the taped surfaces. I use it when I can't separate the pieces just using my fingers, which is often. I avoid thin templates. MDF makes the worst templates but it's cheap and easy to work with other than the toxic, MDF dust. Plywood is not much better because the actual surface rested on by the trim bearing is only the thin, outer surfaces of the plywood.

  • @meljohansen8634
    @meljohansen8634 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are very thorough with your videos. Good information. A little trick I use is to first install a larger diameter bearing on the cutter. This take a "rough" cut first. Replace the original bearing, and finish cut the piece.

    • @KerryBatdorf
      @KerryBatdorf ปีที่แล้ว

      Some bits have 2 bearings, usually the same size, but, maybe one could be larger for the 'rough cut'. Then it only takes a height change.

      @katzmosestools  4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I've used it before but not a big fan. Seems to come off too easy for me and sometimes I get squeeze out beyond my tape. Plus for $14 these rolls last me a couple years and there's no setup. Blue tape is crazy expensive to be using it for something its not really intended for. IMHO I can use 4 little tiny pieces vs 8 big pieces of blue tape.

    When I took woodshop in junior high (as opposed to Home Ec), I tried to use a router free-hand to cut my name out. I came out so bad I chucked it into the scrap bin. I never even attempted when I took woodshop in college (yeah, BS Industrial Tech - woodshop, plastics shop, and metal shop were core electives).
    Now that I'm getting to the point where I just have to use a router I'm afraid whatever I do will come out jacked and wood's expensive. I been putting off finishing the cool redwood porch glider because of that fear. It's gonna be somebody's Christmas gift at this rate...

      Agreed but I really have had that uncoated one for 3 years and it's still sharp AF. Honestly it's one of those once every 5-10 year purchases that is a serious game changer. You can route the gnarliest grain in the wrong direction without a problem.

      Get a handful of straws and lay them out on a table. Offset each one say a half inch apart as you go. When you start at the top routing and going "downhill" the next straw inline is 1/2 inch longer and supports the previous one. Starting at the bottom and routing "uphill" as you would cut each straw there would be a 1/2 inch where there is no support and much more likely to tear out.

    Nitto tape is a similar product that works well. I use it on a desktop PCB mill. It even held down machinable wax. Like spec tape it doesn’t need much to get the job done.
    Scotch double sided office tape also works in a pinch IF you’re careful. It won’t re-adhere once removed and it needs more of it though.

      @@katzmosestools For removing the template it usually works pretty well to pry up an end just far enough to get a grip on the 2 pieces and then rather than prying/pulling straight apart try shearing the parts apart sideways. For me there is much less muscle involved and the forces are across the width of the template with little risk of banding and breaking it.

    I didn’t know inside curves could tear out as well. I’ve now seen too many videos on what can go wrong when routing. I’m currently completely scared off trying to template route anything. Especially my one slab of electric guitar body size wood. I think I’ll just rasp it into shape. Some day in the far off future.

    Thank you for the video. I have also experienced kickback with a half inch bit while making Jay Bates nesting chairs in Alder. The grain direction was significant and you showing the technique of using a double bearing router bit was helpful. In a future video could you possibly cover router bit speeds? Would slower bit speed help with the kickback?

    • @CA-gy4qf
      @CA-gy4qf 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Slower speed will give a rougher cut, and your feed speed would need to be a lot lower. Higher risk of tearout. That's my advice as a time served cabinet maker.

    Thank you for this video man I'm new to the woodwork scene and just bought a router (Bosch
    GKF125CEK) and am afraid of using it because of the dangers I've heard about... I don't want to be afraid of it rather I want to respect it. I've been trying educate myself on them so that I could do just that. One thing that I would like to know is the difference between a trim router and a regular router besides one is bigger than the other. Can you do the same type of cuts with the trim that you can do with the reg router and is so how should I do so? Is it safe to do so? Another great thing would be to show us the proper way to use the most popular used bits.

  • @TrevorDennis100
    @TrevorDennis100 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jonathan you so often seem to cover exactly what I need to know, and you have done it again today. However, what about when the work piece is wider (thicker) than the depth of the router bit, and you have no option but to start with the lower bearing, and then flip the work piece and use machined surface as the template with a top bearing bit, or your two bearing flush trim bit with the lower bearing removed? I'm trying to see it in my head, and thinking we should be able to treat each case according the grain direction where the bit is cutting, but I am not sure I have it right, and can't even experiment till I get to the shop tomorrow. BTW to add to the problem, I am just using straight (non spiral) bits, but I can see that I am going to need to invest real soon.
