    Clear, concise, and not 30 minutes long crammed with sponsorships. I’ve been watching your stuff for a while, but really been enjoying your content even more lately. Thanks!

    I've watched a bunch of videos on spiral bits and you explained it 200% better than any of them. I now know what to use when and why. You have an innate ability to teach - thanks so much!

    Great job explaining how these bits work. I have all the bits you spoke of and use them accordingly. Most people just grab and buy.

    Thank you for giving me a better understanding of the router bits and being able to make a choice which one will work best for different types of wood

    Thank you. I'm a beginner and I never considered the way the bits cut. This was quite helpful.

    Great job. Love the closing too, where you mentioned how you found it beneficial just to have one of each. Now I know which ones to buy, although I don't know the best widths and lengths.

    Thanks so much for another very helpful explanation! I'm very happy to put it into my router playlist. Hopefully, these bits (😉) of information will help me become more comfortable with my routers.

    I just completed a project using an upcut bit for the first time, and I'm very pleased with it. I only cut shallow mortises, though, and didn't realize the potential for tearout on a full length through cut. Thanks for the lesson, it makes sense. I'll get one or both of those other bits as the need arises.

    I've heard about the spiral bits for a while. For weekend hobbyist, it's still hard to justify when I am not making money with the end product. I got a cheap set (1/2" shank) with straight flutes + little TLC on the edge would suffice (I tried scoring a line on the cut edge before cutting, and yes time consuming and was able to get by). Would love to upgrade to upcut + downcut + compression with bearing in 1/2" shank some day.

    Interesting... I learned something new. Another tool I sometimes cheat with, is milling wood in my milling machine. The only downside to it, the maximum quill speed is 1970rpm. Now, I need to experiment some more.........

    If i'm going to be using a flush trim bit on a router table and using a template on top of the piece of wood, do I use a down cut or up cut flush trim bit?

  • @workingclassless84
    @workingclassless84 2 года назад

    I use the 1/2" whiteside upcut flush bit because they have a whole 2" (maybe a tiny bit more) of cutting surface. Pricey tho so I only buy them when I take on expensive projects that I absolutely need to have zero tearout. I wish I could successfully sharpen them. I have not yet figure it out.

  • @bobp3738
    @bobp3738 2 года назад

    Great explanation, thanks. Seems the compression bits would need to be used on material of a certain minimum thickness. I’m guessing 3/4” (19mm)?

    It's not a spiral, it's a helical. A spiral is a completely other thing.
