Thanks for all the questions, Questions and answers video here: th-cam.com/video/8u4wPbwDHiM/w-d-xo.html I couldn't get to all of them, we'll do this again some time!
What do you recommend for me? I'm a pi tor and I only use it to clean cabinets and vacuum the floor and not do so much dust. I know there are many festools extractor like yours
The festool disposable bags do have a sleeve you can use to close the bag before throwing it out. Making sure the dust does not escape. My two pence from the UK
As a cabinet maker, after getting my Festool ct26 and making all my tools hook up to it, I will never be able to work with out it. I work beside people who don't have dust extraction and it makes you realise how good it really is having dust extraction. Also for the "throwaway" festool bags I made my own version of the lifetime bag clip from two different sizes of water pipe that slide over each other, I cut the bag open empty it and seal it up with my diy clip and I use a bag for around a year before throwing it out.
Well, let me tell you this, as a customer :). I had some cabinetry fitted about three years ago. I only finished painting the room, and fitters came to get my cabinetry sorted. All morning they worked without extraction vacuum. I offered them my small Karcher but they pointed out that they have extraction with them. I thought it is strange not to use extraction, especially as they were cutting Corian worktops but it is their health... However once they left I got massively upset. My freshly painted walls were all covered in the dust. And this was especially visible on my dark navy blue feature wall. It cost me 4 hours of vacuuming walls from the dust plus I gathered it is better not to breath in this shite. Extraction protects you and environment you work in. It is a good idea to use it :).
Last couple of years i worked in a factory making stairs even with powerful extraction on the CNCs you could still see dust in the air, mdf was the worst It started to effect my health so i took redundancy and now have set up a workshop in my garage at home.
Great work as always but I would have to say the faster way of making these rebates is just to get the right router bit. You can get 25mm bit with a 12mm bearing on it so that when you run it along an edge it will overcut by 13mm instead of doing a flush cut. Very convenient way of doing this. I use one for doing rebates from time to time.
"Having it is better than not having it" - inspirational, love it. (Forreal though, we just got the ct36 AC to use with the planex drywall sander, absolutely invaluable)
I use the disposable bags for my Festool CT36, but I don't throw them out, I just shake the dust out of the hole. The bags are about $100 Canadian for a 5 pack, so I save several hundred a year.
I got the Festool cyclone trap / pre-filter. (Should work on your model, also on Makita’s vacuum systems with the systainer clamps on top) It’s Festool so it’s arguably overpriced for what it is, but at the same time it saves me money on bags. Especially if you have a lot of router work. You still need to replace the bags once in a while. Not because they are full but because the ultra-fine dust leaves a coating on the inside, clogging up the airflow.
I also use small cyclone whenever i can, no matter how big the vacuum you get so much more out of your bags. Thing is mine cyclone is small so i need to empty it all the time, so im looking to buy something. Main issue is i dont know how to connect it and not use too much hoses
I really like that negative-detail wall you made there and the featured one in the bedroom. It's just makes a wall look so much better than just a painted wall.
Omg I just noticed I wasn’t subscribed to your channel. I’ve been watching you for over a year. I’m a Dutch carpenter and I’m planning to start my own YT channel soon. You’re so inspiring and informative.
I bought the festool cyclone about a year ago and its like a turbo booster and you do not loose any suction. The clear container is a real eye opener as to how much dust is coming out the machines.
Dust extractors are where it's at. I even have a shroud that lets me hand sand with collection. Festool plastic is too delicate for tools of that price, in my opinion. It's my only complaint about the brand, and it's kept me from buying anything of theirs- as great as they work. edit: Not to mention the time my boss told me to just put a bag on the sander, while I was setting up the extractor. It set the fire alarm off, which was tied into their home security system. Good times. Always extract. We don't use any treated timbers in interior construction here in the US (at least in New England). I'm not sure it's a good idea.
@@rgbking488 I've been using a Fein Turbo 1 for over 3 years. It's not the best, but it's really good and it's the most affordable of the good dust extractors. I'd buy it again if mine died tomorrow, but there is no indication of that. It's often run for hours at a time.
@@troyclayton Killer info, thank you for the insights. Yeah, it's interesting...people are always talking Festool I see, but none really push or talk about the other products. I dig it and would get it (because everyone is pretty much selling it)...but I haven't yet and will probably go with something more affordable to start. I don't know that I need a Ferrari of mobile vacuums to start...but if I was to get some larger, more permanent setup for a garage/shop, then I could see something more "Ferrari" like - cheers
@@rgbking488 another option could be the scaled down Festool CT 15. Essentially a midi scaled down in features and minus the Bluetooth option. Only thing with the 15 is that it doesn't come with an antistatic hose and so I'd source one even going with something like a Cen-tec antistatic hose to avoid the 130 USD price tag for a hose.
Nice job. I just got a Makita guide rail for my router for repeatable grooves/dadoes like fake shiplap. Might get a small cordless Bosch dust extractor and a large cordless starmix batrix (also sold as metabo) class m. Scoring plywood is something I also forgot yesterday. Especially crap ply
We just bought at work the first vac. U showed and its expensive as hell and we didn't even buy all the accessories. We only purchased the wall sanding attachment. Its a good vac. It was purchased with covid money my work gets for keeping people working. Otherwise we never would have gotten it and I would be sanding 3 floors of walls.
I’ve got the same festool vac. My chest feels a lot better and lot less cleaning up. I took the small hoover attachment and glued it to the sawdust exhaust port of my hitachi mitre chop saw. Now I’m using the vac on a daily basis. It’s the way forward buddy. Love from wales 🏴
hi Scott ,small tip its much faster to do those "rabits" on your table saw ...2 small cuts and youre done ,advantyage is youre not changing all that wood in dust ,i always set up 1 cut run all my board thet set other cut run all again...(its realy easy on those dewalts ....mine is same as yours but run on batteries...) i tried with router ....even with spiral bit take longer than table saw best regards
marek mroz I think for the board He’s installing @9:45 , you’re gonna want to use a router.. For me, my garage sealing is low, so that limits me. Can’t put bigger boards vertically on the tablesaw. However, in an better situation, you have a very good point my friend. I would do it just because I hate the noise my router makes :)
I swept a new home under construction, it hadn't been swept since they finished the drywall and the vacuum filter was torn so it just pumped out dust the whole time. I really wished I had wore a mask, I could feel it in my chest the next day. I imagine it will take several months before I get most of that out of my lungs.
Dust extraction drives me mad,every single tool i have has a different sized outlet,makes it near impossible to connect the vac to.even stuff from the same manufacturer having a different size.its about time it was made law for all tools to have an exact sized outlet so there never any excuse for no dust extraction!
A hell of a lot of builders wouldn't be competent, careful or care about their workmanship enough to be able to do this job. You fellas are killing it!
To extend the life of your vacuum filter, consider using a cyclone separator between the vacuum and the tool. I've found that it will divert over 95% of any wood dust, and about 90% of drywall dust. "Dust Deputy" makes a version, and Home Depot (US) has a version that fits on a 5 gallon bucket, called the Dustopper. Likely pay for itself in the cost of Festool filter bags alone. Not sure what is available in your area.
Hey Scott, excellent vids, carpenters have by far the most credibility over any other trade. Keep up the great work. CCA has 0.001 parts per million arsenic Rice 0.40 ppm • Potatoes 0.63 ppm • Mushrooms 0.66 ppm • Tomatoes 1.49 ppm • Shrimps 19.90 ppm Source: Contact - the TPAA Newsletter, 2nd August Issue 2003
Nevyn starmix impulse are exactly the same as metabo and I think Ramset vacuums. The shape is exactly the same. I do not understand why more carpenters don't use dust extraction. They certainly keep the area clean and free from the fine dust which is not good for anyone. Also cutting treated timber.
Nevyn interesting how it works. Somehow they ( manufacturers) work together. As you know metabo and hikoki have amalgamated. The metabo cordless planer is the same as the hikoki and previous hitachi cordless planer. Ramset jackhammer is also a carbon copy of Bosch or vice versa. So I'm curious to know where it all started like you mentioned. Perhaps patent lifted. The festool it a different design to starmix. One thing I had a festool and they don't lose much suction when the filters get clogged with fine dust. Gyprock sanding. Until my festool was stolen. Both these vacuums become heavy and bulky so a smaller vacuum may be more ideal for timber cutting and leave the bigger machines for brick or concrete grinding and gyprock sanding.
i was on one job where the apprentice decided to take the shop vac and vacuum up some silica dust but forgot to put the filter in... basically just shot a huge cloud of dust into the hallway
The green pressure treated timber doesn't have Arsenik in it anymore. It, unsurprisingly, was deemed too toxic to humans and the environment so they banned that and now they contain some sort of copper-salt instead. It's not as good to protect against long exposure to moisture though it does not leek Arsenik into the ground etc. This is at least the case in Europe. I can't say if it's the same globally.
Wish we went in that direction. Our timber still has arsenic it it. They actually record higher levels of arsenic in the air during winter, from people burning the timber off cuts in their fires at home
7:21 Are those Bessy Rapid action clamps? The old bloke I work with, loves his old Bessy F Clamp. I'm curious if you have a video up on the right clamp to use for certain wood jobs.
The same thing had happen to me, under the risk of being thrown out of site I had to buy one. A slightly bigger than yours Festool CTM 26, it cost me a lot of money, but I don't regret it one bit..... bigger challenge was to find rubber adapters for every different type of tool....
I added the CT-VA to my Midi and it's fantastic (yes it fits just fine despite their website showing otherwise). I highly recommend it for you guys. It captures like 90% of gypsum, sawdust, you name it, before it hits the bag prolonging your bags significantly.
you should get one of those rebating bit for you router, kinda like a big flush trim bit but with a small bearing, that way you wont have to setup a rail for every cut
As a woodworker I've wondered why chippys don't put a 20-200L bucket/drum with airtight lid piped inline with their vacuum saving heaps of vac bags and change time. it stays onsite nightly and won't be stolen.
The auto feature on the vacuum is not recommended for mitre saw and any other powerful tools since they use more than 5 Amps and will stress out the motors.if used on one circuit. In America anyways, we run 110V 15 Amps.
I've been using M-class HEPA extraction on absolutely everything for years. Such a shame that my DeWalt DWS780 and Makita LS0714 1st and 2nd-fix mitre saws ignore the megabucks vacuums and spew dust out anyway. The only mitre saw I've ever seen which extracts properly is the Kapex, but I tried it and hated it.
Are you using a marking gauge or cutting gauge to scribe the plywood. I tried both recently and found the cutting gauge produced a better cut across the grain. Just a thought.
Scott why didn't you just use a rabbeting bit in your router instead of setting up a straight edge for every cut? That job would have taken a fraction of the time, even allowing for squaring up the corners. Since you made that table, I think I'd set up a router in it too.
I remember working on building sites in the mid/late 1980s in the UK and back then H&S was just started to be taken seriously due to the 1,000s of people that where getting killed on building sites etc and now day what happened back then would never be allowed today and today sites are a total different experience
Do you guys use MDF in New Zealand? you would have worked with it a lot in Scotland. It is cancerous as hell which is one of the main reasons I believe health and safety are so strict with dust extraction here. I know it is banned in the US but not sure about Australia
Lifes a learning curve. Sometimes it takes a trading officer to bring things to your or anyone's else's attention. Not only for health and safety but will cut down cleaning time once finished each job
@scottbrowncarpentry Love how you start each video with your patented, "Scott Brown here" 😁 I've failed miserably trying to imitate it with my American accent. Good stuff though man, huge fan from North Carolina 👊
@@flightworks6874 most videos has rain coming in it seems. I was thinking but it's New Zealand, until someone said it's different weather than Australia?
Good video, thanks. Quick question, I like your tool belt and suspenders, what kind/brand is it so I can get one? Lol. I’m always looking for a better tool belt. Looks like an occidental leather brand? I have one but it is huge on me, a thin man I am.
Could you show and tell about your scoring tool. It looks like a good one. Do you get many customers wanting the rebate style? I have yet to see that here in the UK. Frank (CarpenterOne3) does some nice tooling ideas. His shooting & edit needs refinement. But the ideas matter.
I wondered how long the bags last as the capacity is 15L which isn't a lot? I'd use a bag every few days of work at 15L my existing vacuum is a shop back and its 40L.
How did you go about buying tools? Did you start buying them slowly when you were an apprentice? What's your opinion on buying cheap tools vs higher end tools?
New Zealand I would assume, I shouldnt answer for Scott but I am a carpenter from Scotland and the building regs here can be a pain in the ass, Much colder and wetter obviously so everything is insulated, health and safety is Over the top here as well as you would have gathered from the video
@@scotland2256 I'm a carpenter from canada, health and safety is insane in New Zealand, especially on commerical sites, I worked there for a year, would 10/10 recommend
@@anand8905 By the sounds of things it is much the same then, we use MDF a lot for finishings here which is one of the main reasons they are so strict with dust extraction (the dust is cancerous as hell, asbestos 2.0) and it is illegal in most of the world, do you guys use this in Canada/New zealand ? just out of curiosity
We never use vacs where I'm from in USA just let it fly , but you and other carpenters inspired me to go get a vacuum I went with the fein turbo II amazing vac very similar to festool only 700$ later tho lol
Hi Scott i use the mini as well. One feature i like is how the bags fill up from the back first and solidly with waste too. Thanks for your great videos. Fred
I've noticed you tend to have a DeWalt advertisement before a Makita review episode. Well you had a ridged cordless vacuum advertisement before this one. I think someone is paying attention to your channel lol
Can you do something about the pros and cons of outdoor work (decks, retaining walls, etc) versus interior work (cabinetry, bookshelves, furniture etc). Ta ever so.
Hey scott Quick question for you, is your vacuum an l class or m class?? I have a vacuum already but its just non big brand. Does the job, i keep it clean but i want a festool with the blue tooth because i use mostly battery,mitre saw track saw etc. Would the l class be alright for this work and cleaning at the end or the m class? Thanks Shane in ireland/cavan
Scott, sitting here in my robe sippin coffee in San Diego California watching your show, love it bro! liked that router plate you were rocking, noticed the phone number on it and it was from San Diego, (619) area code, dope! I checked the link , but nothing.....any other suggestions? keep on bro! SJ
A dust collector would save you money and make disposing dust a lot easier. Plus it would help keep your filter clean and thus add years to your vacuum.
How does the festool vacuum go with the bigger tools like table saw and drop saw. I see the input to run tools is about 1200W but most drop saws and table saws are up around 1800-2000W????
Scott brown carpentry, love the video and I know its old. Hopefully you or someone can answer my questions...what is the plywood for? Does it get stained or covered? Why you paint the edges black? Does it hide the joints?
Here is a question I have had since watching the house extension series way back. New Zealand homes don't seem to have any exterior cladding. That is, here in USA, homes almost always have an intermediate layer of osb or plywood, or more recently specialty weather proofing layers like ZIP on the walls and roof, with the siding or roofing on top of that. Why not in NZ? Thanks.
Saves on timber. We don't clad twice. Our engineering (shear as an example) is done usually through our drywall. When we need extra in certain planes of the house, they sometimes spec individual 6mm ply panels that are installed to the outside as you would your osb system. However it is usually to the bracing elements specified length and not the length of the entire wall like you guys do.
It seems to me that, except for the inside corners, routing with a fence attached to the bottom of your baseplate would yield faster and more consistent results.
Thanks for all the questions, Questions and answers video here: th-cam.com/video/8u4wPbwDHiM/w-d-xo.html
I couldn't get to all of them, we'll do this again some time!
Just curious, why do you not use a bearing bit on the router? You have the guide fence, but could just use a bearing bit....

A slightly bigger than yours Festool CTM 26, it cost me a lot of money, but I don't regret it one bit..... bigger challenge was to find rubber adapters for every different type of tool....
I don't think I've ever seen dust extraction on a drop saw on a job site, ever. only ever in people's workshops.
I added the CT-VA to my Midi and it's fantastic (yes it fits just fine despite their website showing otherwise). I highly recommend it for you guys. It captures like 90% of gypsum, sawdust, you name it, before it hits the bag prolonging your bags significantly.
you should get one of those rebating bit for you router, kinda like a big flush trim bit but with a small bearing, that way you wont have to setup a rail for every cut
As a woodworker I've wondered why chippys don't put a 20-200L bucket/drum with airtight lid piped inline with their vacuum saving heaps of vac bags and change time. it stays onsite nightly and won't be stolen.
The auto feature on the vacuum is not recommended for mitre saw and any other powerful tools since they use more than 5 Amps and will stress out the motors.if used on one circuit. In America anyways, we run 110V 15 Amps.
I've been using M-class HEPA extraction on absolutely everything for years. Such a shame that my DeWalt DWS780 and Makita LS0714 1st and 2nd-fix mitre saws ignore the megabucks vacuums and spew dust out anyway. The only mitre saw I've ever seen which extracts properly is the Kapex, but I tried it and hated it.
Are you using a marking gauge or cutting gauge to scribe the plywood. I tried both recently and found the cutting gauge produced a better cut across the grain. Just a thought.
Scott why didn't you just use a rabbeting bit in your router instead of setting up a straight edge for every cut? That job would have taken a fraction of the time, even allowing for squaring up the corners.
Since you made that table, I think I'd set up a router in it too.
I remember working on building sites in the mid/late 1980s in the UK and back then H&S was just started to be taken seriously due to the 1,000s of people that where getting killed on building sites etc and now day what happened back then would never be allowed today and today sites are a total different experience
What's your thoughts on the dewalt cordless extractor?
When is kameron starting a youtube channel?
Do you guys use MDF in New Zealand? you would have worked with it a lot in Scotland. It is cancerous as hell which is one of the main reasons I believe health and safety are so strict with dust extraction here. I know it is banned in the US but not sure about Australia
Lifes a learning curve.
Sometimes it takes a trading officer to bring things to your or anyone's else's attention.
Not only for health and safety but will cut down cleaning time once finished each job
@scottbrowncarpentry Love how you start each video with your patented, "Scott Brown here" 😁
I've failed miserably trying to imitate it with my American accent. Good stuff though man, huge fan from North Carolina 👊
If you had to keep 5 powertools that you felt where vital and get rid off the rest, what would you keep and why?
To do what, with?
James Bailand haha
Job well done Scott !!
Do a review of your pop up gazebo and why its rains so much where you are, like the uk......
It doesn’t rain that much it’s just the fact that it’s winter right now
@@flightworks6874 most videos has rain coming in it seems. I was thinking but it's New Zealand, until someone said it's different weather than Australia?
Good video, thanks.
Quick question, I like your tool belt and suspenders, what kind/brand is it so I can get one? Lol. I’m always looking for a better tool belt. Looks like an occidental leather brand? I have one but it is huge on me, a thin man I am.
Could you show and tell about your scoring tool. It looks like a good one. Do you get many customers wanting the rebate style? I have yet to see that here in the UK.
Frank (CarpenterOne3) does some nice tooling ideas. His shooting & edit needs refinement. But the ideas matter.
Why not a router bit with a bearing to eliminate all the clamping straight edges?
I just bought this and after seeing your video multiple times I think it's going to be a great edition. Every feel like you need more capacity?
I wondered how long the bags last as the capacity is 15L which isn't a lot? I'd use a bag every few days of work at 15L my existing vacuum is a shop back and its 40L.
I like the longer format. I know it is more work but we all love it.
How did you go about buying tools? Did you start buying them slowly when you were an apprentice? What's your opinion on buying cheap tools vs higher end tools?
What type of buildings do you prefer working on, UK or New Zealand houses?
New Zealand I would assume, I shouldnt answer for Scott but I am a carpenter from Scotland and the building regs here can be a pain in the ass, Much colder and wetter obviously so everything is insulated, health and safety is Over the top here as well as you would have gathered from the video
@@scotland2256 I'm a carpenter from canada, health and safety is insane in New Zealand, especially on commerical sites, I worked there for a year, would 10/10 recommend
@@anand8905 By the sounds of things it is much the same then, we use MDF a lot for finishings here which is one of the main reasons they are so strict with dust extraction (the dust is cancerous as hell, asbestos 2.0) and it is illegal in most of the world, do you guys use this in Canada/New zealand ? just out of curiosity
We do use it New Zealand still. You can buy a lot of trim made out of MDF. I try and stay away from it if I can
@@scotland2256 gotcha, same here in canada. All depends what the client wants right, I'm guessing same with you guys.
Why the choice for a festool vacuum cleaner, and not for makita?
We never use vacs where I'm from in USA just let it fly , but you and other carpenters inspired me to go get a vacuum I went with the fein turbo II amazing vac very similar to festool only 700$ later tho lol
Finally broke down and ordered one. I cant use this shop vac a second longer. Cheers man!
Yeah GIB dust ruins reusable vacuum bags, but it's still worth having one in the van as a backup so you are never left without a bag.
The last few months I've been using an airscrubber as well as the vacs. It helps a lot
What are the basic power tools you need for little home projects??
Electric SDS drill and cordless drill driver.
Hi Scott i use the mini as well. One feature i like is how the bags fill up from the back first and solidly with waste too. Thanks for your great videos. Fred
I've noticed you tend to have a DeWalt advertisement before a Makita review episode. Well you had a ridged cordless vacuum advertisement before this one. I think someone is paying attention to your channel lol
Can you do something about the pros and cons of outdoor work (decks, retaining walls, etc) versus interior work (cabinetry, bookshelves, furniture etc). Ta ever so.
Ya outdoor sucks more in the winter and is more enjoyable if you enjoy working outdoors in summer
Hey scott
Quick question for you, is your vacuum an l class or m class??
I have a vacuum already but its just non big brand. Does the job, i keep it clean but i want a festool with the blue tooth because i use mostly battery,mitre saw track saw etc.
Would the l class be alright for this work and cleaning at the end or the m class?
Thanks
Shane in ireland/cavan
Hey Scott.
What is the name of the drone you use in the video?
GoPro karma
Scott Brown Carpentry thanks😃
There is a router guide available for the Makita track
And it works great with my cordless router.
Thank you, Googling now....
Title should be: Almost Fired Over NOT using a Vacuum. Great little video here. Thank for sharing your experience.
Question: If you were stranded on a desert island, and with you was a toolbox, inside only three tools. What would they be and why?
There’s a lock on the bag to trap the dust in bro and you can get different bags for gib concrete dust too, success through suction
There is a Japanese tool for scoring, kinda looks like a marking guage but has a blade on the end
you're meant to have vacs on site in the uk? never got the memo ...... ops
Very much depends on the site. Some of the ones i've been on the Joiners have never heard of vacuums never mind buying and using one.
I had the same vacy when I worked in Glasgow
Hi Scott, what is the model number of the Festool Vacuum. How does the DeWalt flexvolt vacuum compare? Thanks 👍
Are you liking the diamond back tool bags better then the Occidental tool bags?
Scott, sitting here in my robe sippin coffee in San Diego California watching your show, love it bro! liked that router plate you were rocking, noticed the phone number on it and it was from San Diego, (619) area code, dope! I checked the link , but nothing.....any other suggestions? keep on bro! SJ
Ha that's awesome. Click the CarpenterOne3 Instagram link and leave him a comment or send him a message there. He should be able to help you out 👍
Hi Scott, if you were to get a bigger van what make would it be and do you think you would ever build your own house?
Dust from medium density board is evil, it is fine and contains formaldehyde just the thing to do you in.
Where do you prefer working in NZ or in Scotland? And would you ever come back to work in Scotland?
that bench is so simple, yet so so very purposeful..
The camera sliding down was funny. 3 thumbs up!
I changed my Festool midi for the Festool 26 after my first routing dust extraction use. Way too small for any job site extraction .
Recently your Airbow was miss firing. What was the fault and would it put you off from purchasing an Airbow nail gun?
Scott Brown! Liking the videos man
Tunes are on point
A dust collector would save you money and make disposing dust a lot easier. Plus it would help keep your filter clean and thus add years to your vacuum.
How does the festool vacuum go with the bigger tools like table saw and drop saw. I see the input to run tools is about 1200W but most drop saws and table saws are up around 1800-2000W????
Scott brown carpentry, love the video and I know its old. Hopefully you or someone can answer my questions...what is the plywood for? Does it get stained or covered? Why you paint the edges black? Does it hide the joints?
Here is a question I have had since watching the house extension series way back. New Zealand homes don't seem to have any exterior cladding. That is, here in USA, homes almost always have an intermediate layer of osb or plywood, or more recently specialty weather proofing layers like ZIP on the walls and roof, with the siding or roofing on top of that. Why not in NZ? Thanks.
Saves on timber. We don't clad twice. Our engineering (shear as an example) is done usually through our drywall. When we need extra in certain planes of the house, they sometimes spec individual 6mm ply panels that are installed to the outside as you would your osb system. However it is usually to the bracing elements specified length and not the length of the entire wall like you guys do.
Awesome work
planning to get a dust extractor soon, but dont have the money, been spending too much on fishing gear lately, lol
Hi Scott I live in New Zealand. Whangarei and I am just wanting some tips and tricks for starting out to be a Carpenter
It seems to me that, except for the inside corners, routing with a fence attached to the bottom of your baseplate would yield faster and more consistent results.
