Good lessons achieved, thank you.

Love the old videos. No dramas and unnecessary talks. Always to the point.

Old days CNC🥰

I saw an old man, and had to check it out. He would be disappointed, my guards and riving knives are long gone

Kia Ora & Good Afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand …great video bro …

BUEN ALUMNO Y MEJOR MAESTRO !!

Un verdadero profesional

Thank you so much for preserving this and making it available. It is good clear practical guidance, and a moving historical record of the character of Roy and the ambience of the time.

The best machine in this video was the Multico mortiser. I have the exact same model except its three phase. An excellent machine. Again however I have to take exception with some of his techniques and set up. It's always advisable to cut both ends of the mortise first so that the chisel is not subjected to side bending forces which could cause the auger to rub and squeal. Make as many cuts as you can with meat on both sides, then waste out the remainder such that its less than the total width of the chisel. Never work the chisel harder than you have to. The chip exhaust slot should face forward to avoid it spilling chip's in to the mortise and choking the chisel up. But the most important thing is to put some oil in the top of chisel after you have started it up to stop it squealing and getting hot. The auger will hold the oil from dripping down in to the mortise. Far to many people believe you should not lubricate the auger but that's asking for trouble. Heat blunts tools far quicker and causes galling on the auger shaft. The setting of the gap between the auger and the chisel is vital. At least 3mm. If your making smoke or squealing it's not set right. Never scrub the bottom of the mortise by dragging it at full depth. You will destroy the chisel and auger.

Hmm. By and large he is giving good advice but cutting tenon shoulder's on the bandsaw is pretty sloppy and not very accurate, especially on a startrite. Never was a big fan of startrite machinery, rather cheap and nasty. The startrite joiner thicknesser was actually quite badly out of adjustment and the blades were not to sharp either ! He really did not give what I would consider proper detailed instruction on setting the blade guides which is so critical to proper function. Ah well. Rarely if ever have I used mitre gauges. To sloppy and clumsy.

Classic stuff. Those guys are nearly all gone now. But unlike the majority of RUclips channels, these blokes did their time in the trade and really knew what they were talking about. Personally I think it's vital to understand the cutterheads you are using. Many older ones should be destroyed. They are just to dangerous. French heads for example. Terrifying. Scraper type cutters held in place by collars ! Utter BS. The two pin safety heads with limiter safety blanks work well. Less chance of loosing all of your fingers. Custom insert heads are the best but very expensive. Worth the money though. Insert rebate heads are brilliant. Slotter heads can be used as tennoning head's too. I love my insert slotter head. Most are stackable making them much more useful. Thank God cuterheads have come a long way from the meat grinders they used to be.

That's a really nice little machine. Clever engineering on those multicos. I love my mortiser.

Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost and over the ages much knowledge has gone the way of the dinosaur to never be seen again. I currently own 9 different routers each has their usage or is setup in a certain way. When I bought my first plunge router in a kit with a fixed base, I did not like it as I was only taught to use a fixed base it was not until my fixed broke down and I used the plunge that I realized that for a long time I was missing out on the unlimited possibilities. Now I use a Plunge Router based router for everything and have the fixed based only for dovetail jigs as it's depth never changes.

Better buy some more cmt ones then

Some Good useful information on this video Trevanion for beginners, from a genuine craftsman. RIP Roy. Tony

Hi Trevanion. I worked on the big Wadkin LS routers at Meredew Furniture Ltd. Great video. Great machine more versatile than the spindle moulder. Thanks for sharing enjoyed watching. Tony

Brilliant! What a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Holddowns on the tablesaw for cutting rebates is a new one to me, quite surprised this video hasn't been mentioned yet on the forums. Many thanks for posting Trevanion. 🙂

The fingerbitten phantom strikes again with safe craftsmanship! R.I.P Roy!

Sweet sweet juicy nectar dribbling down my chin. Thanks!

How about showing how the router bits was set to make the cuts?

Thanks for sharing

whats a great skills sharing

And I always thought they were for heat expansion or some random stuff. I have been using quite a few cmt blades and comparing to cheap generic blades and I can hear whistling noise when running on idle.

Absolutely excellent. Really clear video. Thanks for putting these videos up Trevanion.

Excellent video , took me back to my apprenticeship :-)

Interesting to hear the mix of imperial and metric from a bloke who learned in imperial. I grew up with metric as the main system, but use imperial for convenience some times.

Wow, what a find, thank you for posting this. In 1994 my Dad and I had the pleasure of attending one of Roy’s 1-day routing courses in Herne Bay - I believe in the same workshop that this video was filmed. I remember it well, being an enjoyable, informative and entertaining day characterised in part by Roy’s wonderful self-deprecating sense of humour. Around that time we saw Roy at one of the London wood working shows (most likely Wembley), and I bought through him my first (and until very recently, only) router. It was an Elu MOF177E and has proved a brilliant piece of kit over the intervening years. I also bought one of Roy’s benchtop router tables and have only in the past week or so built a full-size replacement. I am probably going to re-purpose “Roy’s top” as a drill press table. I have also been “commissioned” by my now 90 year old father to make him a similar router table…. Thanks again - it was like travelling back in time to the very start of my woodworking journey.

very nice job, this is a new machine :-)

Hello Trevanion , thi is the basic Spindle Moulding, there is no advanced moulding ? Do you know if there are other video by Roy Sutton ?

Thank you for sharing the knowledge of this great man, a true craftsman like there are no longer many. I did not know these videos, but I just learned in a few tens of minutes, much more than a year of practice. Thanks to Roy that his soul goes in peace. (sorry for my bad English)

A big thank you for this knowledge sharing. Roy Sutton was a great man

Great video. Thank you!

Super fantastic video. Thank you!

Thank You !!!

Comprehensive no nonsense and informative thanks for sharing

I love Roy's presenting style - his video on spindle moulding is great too. Proper old school, no-nonsense delivery. Shame that he died of an asbestos related illness - though I couldn't help but notice that he wasn't wearing any breathing protection when routing some fairly nasty man-made boards.

More lathe videos!

Man I’ve never even seen an overhead router before. Wonder what advantages they have?

Interesting. Which one is the loudest when revolving? Do you remember when they first started to put copper plugs into the hole at the end of the expansion slots to reduce the noise when revolving. Tony

Very good video

Bravissimo, un grande maestro.

Great job. Thanks

Hi Trevanion. This is a very useful video for beginners by showing some of the basic set ups and machining operations on this very versatile machine. Good content with proven techniques. Tony

Seems like I found these videos at the right time! I owned three of Roy's DVDs but hadn't seen these two on the router. Thanks for sharing them.

Hear ye, Hear ye, The real Sutton who's treasure has finally been unearthed. May us simple peasant folk endure the teachings of mere novices no longer!

Hi Trevanion. Work of art you have definitely done a brilliant job, looked at your ukworkshop link, wow. These are great little machines capable of producing a fantastic planed surface finish. I bought my TH3 new in 1983 hardly used it, it was stored for most of it's life while upgraded to a larger ex demo SCM for width capacity reasons only. I like the cast iron sides on yours and the modern colour choice. Post more videos. Enjoyed and subscribed. Tony

This reminds me of the time I suggested to a faculty member that he go down the hall to the Civil Engineering Woodshop to use the hollow chisel mortiser there. I don’t remember the brand, but it was industrial size, not some bench top machine. Figgered the tech there would set him up safely. When I checked in on him a half hour later, he professed puzzlement at the difficulty of making black, charred holes, clouds of smoke included. The tech was in his office, reading, and I had to inform him that his machine was wired to turn backwards.
