    Hello, what is the spectra of the bit? Where do I find the exact similar one .
    Thanks so much, your videos are awesome.

    • @askillthatpays

      That is a straight bit 3/8" thick. They're available at homed depot and Lowes. When it comes to router bits, don''t buy the cheap ones. Go with more expensive brands like Diablo or Bosch. The cheaper ones are available in the same section, but they usually don't work well or if the do, they don't last. I'm not against buying some cheap tools, but when it comes to router bits, I always get the good ones. Thanks for watching.

    I’ve done this a few times but lost my guide so screwed a block to the router base where it would center the groove..but I’ll stop my groove before the end of slab on both sides to have the guide completely hidden..I worked with a guy that was trying to do it on a table saw on the ground but as you can imagine moving a solid core door vertically down a table saw & had to do 3 passes was wobbly at best..he also tried to do one standing the door up & got on a ladder with a circular saw.. this is the only way to go..thanks for sharing

      That's a great way to do it, and I've done that where high-end jobs demand it because it's an excellent and professional touch. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Thanks for watching

    curious question is that a masonite door you are using? and can you do this to a masonite door if I needed to?

    • @askillthatpays
      @askillthatpays  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The brand of the door is irrelevant as long as the bottom solid. A hollow door has about an inch of wood on the bottom and could accept a 1/2" groove on the bottom. A solid door could accept a deeper groove regardless of what brand it is. Thanks for watching

    Very helpful, thanks! What type of bit did you use for the router? Thanks again

    • @askillthatpays
      @askillthatpays  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm glad you found it useful. I typically use a straight bit of 1/4" and that fits most bottom guides. Too big and they flop around, too tight and they can bind. Thanks for watching.

    What is the name of this tool

    • @askillthatpays
      @askillthatpays  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's called a router. The large version is often called a "bench" or "shop" router. The smaller versions are called "trim" routers. Thanks for watching.
