I found this particularly informative because--although I make furniture--my work is a non-traditional style, so I've never used moldings like these. This video may be a catalyst to jump start my thinking toward different design styles.
I’m 63 years old and haven’t done any woodworking since leaving school, but I’ve just done a couple of projects and I’ve made a few mistakes, but I’m really enjoying it and hopefully I’ll get better, thanks for your advice.
Thanks for sharing this info Jon! Those are definitely great bits to have. Sometimes I forget what nice molding can be made from them so I'm glad you reminded me!
Watched a lot of your projects. You always made your own molding. I thought how come I don’t do that. Well I do now. Adds such a nice touch. Spot on match for the kinda of wood you are using. Good videos Jon. Thanks
Thank you for a nice and well done video! It was enjoyed on my back on the sofa as my body is too sore for woodworking today. Still the pleasure of carpentry though 😄
Great video on useful bits John. My most used are similar, but I don't use a beading bit all the much. In its place would be basic straight bits; I use them a lot for template routing with guide bushings and for things like slots, rabbets and mortises. Straight bits are my most used, followed by flush trim/pattern, then round over, chamfer and cove.
The idea of experimenting is crucial. It just takes a second to mill up some profiles from scrap wood; then you can sit at the bench and play. And meantime, you’ve honed your routing skills.
Really excellent tips, Jon! Thanks! 😃 You know, I used to paint... And lots of my paintings got a broken frame... So I'm going to use your tips to make some! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I feel like since the moulding is so think, I would've made it the offcut on the table saw. Can you explain your decision for making it with the relatively more difficult inside cut? I hope I'm making sense.
Some may call me crazy for trying this. I use the Dewalt DCW600B trim router. Anyway, I needed a 45 degree chamfer bit at a client’s home. The Freud I bought has a 1-3/4 diameter which did not fit the base plate opening. I installed the bit & lowered the base plate with the bit spinning at full speed. 45 degree chamfer on 27 LF of hard maple later with my palm router, makes for a successful, less frustrating day. Yes, I have a spare base plate for smaller diameter bits 😊.
Great tips. Can you use a 1/4 round over bit to make 1/8 round over cuts (i.e. use 1/2 of the 1/4 bit)? I ask because I am new and plan to get the 1/4 bit and was wandering if I can get two cut options from the one bit. In other words, is it better to get a larger bit and also be able to make smaller size cuts? Also, when do you choose to use the smaller hand held router vs the larger router and 1/4 and 1/2 shank bits?
If a chamfer bit states "1/2 inch cutting height" that would mean that is the maximum amount cut out/chamfer of the two corner edges, but you have to drop your router bit down far enough to get that amount from the bit?
How are the circular CMT blades? I was gonna give them a try on the table and miter saws.... shockingly Menards has been carrying more and more of their products!
Regarding the bead molding router bit...is the radius (of the cut on the bit) 1/4"? I picked one up and it looks a lot bigger than the one you use in the video. The shank is 1/4". Its the CMT 861.064.11 corner beading bit. Thanks for any help.
Great video! I'm not seeing the bead molding bit in the link you provided, am I missing it or perhaps do you have a model number? Thank you in advance!
Question for the expert (you): Would I be able to se my 1/8" shank Dremel bits, with a 1/4-1/8" adapter, to use with my DeWalt DWP611 palm router? Please advise, thanks!j
Great question, Joey! Larger 1/2" shank diameter is exponentially stronger than 1/4", so it runs with less vibration and deflects less with the strain of larger profile bits--say anything over ~1" diameter. That said, less raw material costs less to produce, so 1/4" shank bits are less expensive (and perfectly adequate) for smaller profile bits.

Appreciate you taking the time to show this. It helps when you’re a 62 year old rookie such as myself .

I could watch this guy all day, and I might.
Thanks Russel! That’s really nice to hear!
Custom moldings can really take your project to the next level!
Simple work done creatively makes product very beautifully complex
The best tips on blades are in this video. Thanks for sharing your helpful experiences.
This is an excellent video. Taking the individual shapes and showing them on top of others to build something real is a great idea.
@@Befetti thank you
Enjoyed Your video on moulding ! And demonstrating the looks of the different bits.
Thanks for sharing this info Jon! Those are definitely great bits to have. Sometimes I forget what nice molding can be made from them so I'm glad you reminded me!
Thank you for the great ideas in the video. When I see one of your videos show up in notifications, it is the first one I watch.
Thanks Chuck!
Brilliant tuition, thank you
Thank you and have a great day.
Thanks! you too

Wow very awesome just started doing little projects and you do such great tutorials
Awesome video on Router bits. Thanks!
Thank you for a nice and well done video! It was enjoyed on my back on the sofa as my body is too sore for woodworking today.

Great job, sensible approach. Thanks
I'll have to pick up one of those cove bits. I can see some cool moulding stackups being made with that one.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely! The straight bit is must have
As always John great stuff. I guess its your "artists eye" but your use of mouldings gives pieces a simple elegnce.
Great video as always Jon.

9:53 This would make a very decorative backband as well, could be configured different ways.
Great video Jon 👍
Now you can see just how great the Kapex is.
I love CMT Orange bits
Really excellent tips, Jon! Thanks! 😃
You know, I used to paint... And lots of my paintings got a broken frame... So I'm going to use your tips to make some!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
Thanks that was a great video My friend 👏
Thanks! I appreciate the comment
Good idea I do that, I have 9 routers each with a different bit and tables
Great Video. Very informative!! 👍
I could live with pretty much just them... I think, for me, the "bead" would not be critical... gotta try it sometime ! Nice video.
nice summary! thanks

so good.......thanks. !
@@djs2356 thanks!
I have a router just needed to watch to learn a few tricks.
Thanks for the great ideas! Did you manufacture the base cap molding for the blanket/toy chest this way?
Thanks, no I bought that at the home store

Wow, Jim, that's a large bit for a palm router! My hat's off to you for having the cajones to try that gutsy maneuver.
@@branchandfoundry560 Thanks Branch & Foundry, I appreciate you and that.

How would you make the bead mould on the top side of an arched trim?

Is there something on the router or bit that helps maintain a straight bevel cut? Thats my biggest holdback from a big purchase like this
Yeah... the bearing
Very well
Great tips, thank you for the video. Is that a Milwaukee router? How did you like it?
Thanks, yes I really like it 👍
How can I trim sharp corners off my desk?
What are the main differences/ advantages or disadvantages of 1/4” vs 1/2” router bits?

@@branchandfoundry560 Thank you
What model router do you use for the mouldings?
Traduire en Francais.Mercie 😊
Wow ...Getting router for each router bit can be quit expensive.
It scares me to see you routing without clamping down the work....i wouldn't do it..
