Having trouble locating some of the bits shown in the video on bits & bits site. (The top barring bits) Others I'm not sure if they are a match.
Seeing some of your favorite bits in action would be a huge help to those of us new to routers...thanks for the series.
I agree, would be cool to see a board with different profiles to see differences.
@@Ben-mv9to Scroll down this page, there's a bunch of router bit pdfs that show their uses and profiles:
www.canadianwoodworking.com/workshop-posters
Most informal video by far ... I started dabbling in more detailed image routing with epoxy. I use a combination of dewalt plunge router, Dremel, and flex . You went over your more detailed bits and I was wondering if you could pass along some of your wisdom? I am having trouble figuring out where to get bits tough enough and small enough to do the work that will fit in my tools. Any insight?
I agree!
My Router Speeds
6=24k RPM
5=21k RPM
4= 18k RPM
3=16k RPM
2=12k RPM
1= 8k RPM (I misspoke and said 18k)
This series is fantastic! Really informative, can't wait to see the router table build!
One bit that I've discovered recently that you didn't mention is the V-groove bit that makes a 90 degree groove in a piece of wood. Make a groove an inch or two from all four edges of a plank to just below the surface of the wood to make a mitre, cut out the corners, and fold it into a box with continuous grain.
Another great video packed with information for woodworkers of all levels. Love what you're doing. - Chris
JK-M 'I'm starting to realise I have a router bit problem'. 😁
That's a subcategory of the gear fetish so many of us have, whatever our -obsession- hobby. It can get _really_ expensive if you are into photography, but a woodworking/engineering hobby can lead to a you-can't-have-too-many-tools state of affairs. A useful video as always Jonathan.
Definition of a hobby - An activity that costs £500 and 3 weeks of time to make something you can buy for £10 ;D
This was really helpful. Bought my first 1/4" router this week that came with no bits. Now I know exactly what type and variant I need for the router jig I want to make, and then use it as the cutting bit on that too. Perfect, thank you so much.
The more I watch and listen the more I get use to the many uses of all the different bits ,
Loving the videos my dude, super informative and very easy to understand and absorb the information you are giving us. As someone who has just started the fabrication journey for car audio, videos like these are invaluable. Much appreciated!
This video was worth it solely for the sound difference between a good and bad cut. The rest of the content was valuable as well but that’s easily the fastest no BS demonstration I’ve found. Thank you. I’m waiting till after we close on our house but I’m gonna buy one of your aprons with the combination square sheath
Great info! Informational videos can be hard to watch for me, but you keep a fast pace, don’t repeat yourself, and provide examples along the way.
Great video. Thank you. Just got my first router. Makita RT702C MacPack. Good DIY tubers are worth their weight in gold. True public service. One of my favs is "Project Farm" consumer testing tuber.
Jonathan these router videos are awesome. So helpful.
Thx! Brilliant overview. Demonstrate to use the bits would be me next question.
Lots of very helpful information! This will help so much in my future project ideas. Thank you
Thanks for this overview. Very helpful to a beginner.
Excellent clear concise explanation of everything bits...
Great info man! Thanks for putting together a video like this.
This is great man. Thanks so much for putting this info together.
Pretty good video Johnathan, I’m a retired Woodworker that spent over 20 years doing Commercial Architectual Woodworking you would be very surprised on how many people i’ve seen incorrectly using routers i’ve always preached to Aprentices and “Newbies that your ears are one of your best assets to tell you if you are going the correct speed on your Router and bits and often i was questioned on how on earth did i afford all my bits i use in my collection my response has always been that’s easy slowly and one at a time and don’t underestimate the inexpensive or cheap “Chinese” made bits as they do work and get you a lot of bang for the dollar I even have a set of non Carbide tipped bits i bought at Sears more than 25 years ago that i’ve sharpened many times and every now and then still use one or two of if memory serves me correctly it was a 10 piece set i bought for under $20 .00 on clearance and my then wife gave me grief asking dont you have enough tools ? which i used to ask her the same thing everytime she bought new clothes LOL me and Ole Whatever her name was have been happily divorced for more than 30 years now ! she is long gone but i still have every router and bit i’ve ever bought
I'm not sure I'm sold on cheap bits but I hear you
@@katzmosestools I bought the 15 piece starter boxed set from MLCS. It is a good set, and I have added individual bits as I have a need for them.
Oh man! Thank you so much for this!
Im getting ready to buy a router to build tables with. Thanks for taking the time out of your dsy to educate some of us. The only tool problem a person could have is, not having enough
You have mentioned that you dont recommend buying a pre made collection of bits.... Have you considered putting a useful kit through bits n bits, maybe $100-$150 worth of bits to get started?
Thank you excellent video , I’m looking forward to trying stuff out.
Great vid. Really useful for a beginner like me
Very informative and helpful, thank you.
Great video, with lots of details
Great video Johnathan. I’ve always questioned what I should have the speed set at on my routers.
Loved this. Great video.
Wow never thought of that , very interesting
I just have discovered your channel, wish I did before. Nice video, nicely explain, great tips. Thanks for your time and advice, looking forward to improve my work with your help!
Welcome my friend!
Thank you. Very informative.
Was just reading up on all of this. Perfect timing!! Lol
awesome!
Bless you.. You are a savier 👍💖. Such a comprehensinve video
Master as usual... thank you very much... if we see in practice these strange bits how they work it will be better.
Thanks again.
Check out the router cabinet build for the glass engraver bit.
Great explanations, thanks.
thanks for your videos! the info is very helpful!
Very helpful, especially the speed explanation. Thank you. I've heard that screech. Ouch. Thankfully I'm getting a little better. haha.
That was a bit of all right sir : ) very handy and educational thanks for sharing
Awesome.... thanks... I needed that. It almost seems intuitive to buy them separately.
I think you hit it right on the head when you said you "might have a bit of a router bit problem". I firmly believe router bits are addictive, they are evil, and I suffer from the same problem. Sometimes, I buy bits I don't even need! Do we need help? LOL
Jonathan, that was beautifully explained. I listen to my router when setting speeds. I run them as fast as possible and adjust speed for that "sweet spot" when the router is running smoothly. I always get nice clean cuts and adjust feed rates as necessary. The key is also CLEAN sharp bits.
Thanks! You’re the man
Fantastic explanation.
thank you Katz .
Another fantastic video! How about doing one regarding the set up, use and applications for bushings and collars?
Thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
I would love a video that shows creative profiles you can create by using multiple bits to create a profile. Thats something I have 0 knowledge on but I know sometimes I see profiles that are brilliant
I have been routing this afternoon and was wondering what speed I am supposed to be routing at and up pops this very handy video, so thank you.
My pleasure bud!
I have heard your name spoken when it came tk education but I don't think I was ready.
I have a trim router, which I have used a couple of times to do exactly as it's intended, trim backing boards for shelves I've built.
I also have a (I think it's a Black & Decker) cast iron desktop router table, the ones where you clamp it to another table. The router motor I've "inherited" from my father-in-law. This thing is an industrial unit which creates a suburb-sized brownout when you turn it on. And the router bit turns and pokesits little death head up through the table. Everytime I even look at it, I picture it stabbing me in the heart and mutilating the rest of my body as I drop to the floor.
Now I need to cut a 16mm rabbit into some chipboard shelves I need to make to be able to clean up my workshop, so it looks like I'm going to have to get a plunge router (My trim router doesn't have a plunge base, even as an option)
Then, of course, I need to know about bits and speeds and feeds and there's more to learn than just chucking a stabby into a buzzing drilly spinny thing and skating it across the top of a work piece.
I've been told I'm a bright boy, and I know enough about woodworking to write it all on the back of a postage stamp, but routers scare the bejeeeeeesus out of me.
So, thank you for this video. It cleared a LOT of the mystique around the bits and feed information that I'd been missing. So, now, when my workspace is cleared enough I can get back to work, I won't be as scared. Maybe.
I was expecting some padding out in this video, but nope, it was all really useful information. Brilliant! Thanks Jonathan 👍
GREAT subject.....cheers...rr Normandy, France
We absolutely LOVE these educational type videos! I would love to see one on table saw blades :)
Great idea. On the list!
Awesome vid! But what we really need is a DW735 review!
I did a tool tune up with it. Great planer. Not sure I'm going to do a whole video on it.
Could you do a short video on router bushings and maybe a tool tune up for routers
It would’ve made a very long video but rather than explaining that they do it would’ve been very useful to see what patterns the bits did on wood. Thanks for sharing
Good onto thanks
A router bit problem haha! That's hilarious. I'm sitting here watching this while I wait on 3 router bits to be delivered today and a set of 3 are too be delivered in 2 days. I think I may have a router problem too 😅😂🤣
Great vid! I use a bull nose bit for cutting board handles. You mentioned another bit for that use. Could you provide more detail, i.e. name, profile, advantage over bull nose, etc. ? Thanks.
Great information. Thanks. Does shank size matter and if so why?
Router bit problem! Ha! I wish that was the only problem I had. Im learning metal machining at the same time. The tools dont cost much compared to all the bits and accessories that come with it. Kinda like buying a printer...all good till you and go buy a new cartridge! Anywayz great info for a new woodworker. Thats me so thanks a bunch sir!
Hey Jonathan. If you could only have 2 bits out of all of these, which ones would they be?
Thanks for this, sir. There are a lot of videos about routers and bits but I feel this really had the combination of info you'd get from working with a Master in his/her shop. The Right Bit for the Right Job has always been tricky to learn. This helped a lot!👍
Thanks bud! I really appreciate it!
I want your apron!
Hi sir Jonathan... do you have videos using all of those bits?
Important question.
If you move to a larger COLLET say from 6 mm to a 8 mm (same bit-cut-size) in a non-variable speed router..... is the bit going to travel faster or slower (mph)? Is the power of the cut in the wood... bigger or smaller?
nice, could’ve been great if you can show some sample cuts of every bit you got, easier to understand for a beginner like me, other than that it’s still nice video👊🏻
Just got a router table. Have a 3” round wood piece that I glued together. Want to round out the rough edges. What bit and size can I get for that?
What is that dust collection attachment you have that attaches below the router?
Hello JKM. You may have mentioned it but I think I missed it. Can you explain what the significance is of different diameters for flush cut bits? If the idea is to remove as much material as possible before flush cutting, what would the use be for anything other than a 1/4” flush cut bit?
I like to watch your channel and I'm new to this ,my question is what router bit can I use to make dadoes thanks and I hope your getting better
Dear Santa, one each from bits and bits. Thanks!
Great info, thanks! Could have used way more extreme close ups like the one at 12:49.
New to the channel. What bit is best for partial drilling into wood with a clean bottom edge. So It can hold small bottles
Do u think a wider diameter spiral would work better for jointing edges or a thinner bit?
How do spiral compression flush trim bits compare to shear compression flush trim bits?
I made a planter out of 2x4s. Want to groove between the two by fours. What bit would you use?
Middle bearing on my UDC9112 is not rock solid in its position and it is grinding a metal stopper. I wonder if it is normal or should I get another copy?
Do you have a set of router bit videos for newbies
How do the CNC-Engraving bits do in a handheld router?
I have tried two different routers doing dados on the table. Both had the bits fly out of the router messing up the shanks on the bits. The wood is Hickory. Help
Can I plung a hole using a straight bit or is a spiral the go to?
what is the difference between router bits shank 6mm and 8mm? what are the best ones to use for a beginner?
Does the type of timber (hardwood vs softwood) have anything to do with determining router speed?
Which would be best for cutting through 3in of soft yellow pine, my router is a variable speed from 8000rpm to 26000rpm an my current bit is a 3in long double flute straight cut but it will not bite into the wood am I using the wrong bit
do you think the same rules apply when routing aluminum?.....as far as speed to bit size ratio?
I am using 1mm bit for 8mm acrylic sheet and doing a 3d 180° models with small details I would like to know the feeding speed for the machine
How do you add your Bits & Bits bits to the Fusion 360 tool library? They have Whiteside and Amana - but I can't find the necessary info on the B&B website.
Very informative and well presented. Thanks!
I get what you say about the speed, but wouldn't the material type (referring mainly to hardness) play a role here as well?
Some probably but you'd have to play it by ear
@@katzmosestools Liked the pun :)
WHATS THE BEST BIT FOR FINGER JOINT WITH MY ROUTER ON A TABLE ????
Is this for cnc routers or like handheld router
Agree with previous posts- very good video but a quick demo of how the bits cut would be spot on!
Every single bit shown has been used in so many of my videos. I'll try to come up with a list
Would be good if you covered various different tool types of tool steel. Carbide, HSS, etc.
not sure that is my area of expertise
Where did u get the marker bit?
Lock miter bits ... set-up and use
My DeWalt router is single speed. Although I have never had a need to slow it down, I have wondered about some of the separate speed control devices that I have seen. Any thoughts on buying one of those instead of replacing the router? Separate issue: I was routing curved legs for a bedside table. I made a template of the profile I wanted. I have a Whiteside double bearing bit, but it was not long enough. I took the top bearing off and made one set of passes then turned the piece upside down and put the top bearing back on to route from the other side of the work piece. Is there a better approach?
That sounds like the best approach. Not sure about variable speed add ons. Cheers bud!
settings 1 and 4 are both 18,000 RPM?
I just pull my hair out with how these bearing bits actually work. What do the small ones at 8:40 actually do? How do they work? I always think that that bearing is riding against an edge or template, but those look like they're for making grooves. Could you show them in action?
Sir, can we use cnc router bits in hand router is my doubt, here in India spiral bits are not available, kindly clarify. Your subsriber!
