How To Use a Router Bushing for Template Cutting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- We show you how to use a router bushing for template cutting and cutting multiple repetitive cuts. These brass bushings can be installed on your cordless router or corded router. Based on the offset of the specific bushing used determines how much larger the template needs to be. We used an upcut router bit to plunge-cut into the wood and extract the dust toward the top. #woodworking #router #tools

I went through this about 6 months ago. I had to cut panels out of MDF doors to add louvers. I also used an upcut bit with a plunge router. I made a template out of plywood. I measured so many times to get this perfect. It was close but not perfect. I guess luckily it was a tad small so I trimmed the cutouts with a jigsaw. In the end it came out really well but I never could figure out why my numbers were off. I did add for the bushing and bit size. I also bought a centering tool. If I remember correctly you are suppose to only go one way (push) with the router too.
The offset is 1/16” if you use a 3/8” bushing and a 1/4” bit. And you are moving the router in the wrong direction in parts of the video.
Counter clockwise in an inside cut like this? I think
Actually I think I got that backwards. Clockwise for interior cuts, counter clockwise for exterior, like edge trim. left to right. Right?
I am retired but still retain my shop. I would not let my router bits touch plywood. Plywood will dull them fast. I also wish I had seem this video fifty years ago. I have wasted a lot of time centering bits and now you show me how simple it is with the coned gauge? Live and learn! Enjoyed the video.
I think a lot of the work done with template routing is in birch ply and MDF. I have a carbide bit that I reserve just for that, the rest of my bits are sacred.
Try to avoid climb cutting if you can, it'll work better for you.
Lowe’s actually has a metal bushing set made by milescraft. It’s not made of brass, which is really nice, but it’s durable enough to hold up for hobby use. I have the milescraft bushing guides & they’ve worked just fine for me
Any good recommendations for a full set of router bits that are not going to break the bank has great quality will last quite awhile . Thank you for the awesome videos that you put up for everyone
I have a set of cheap bits, in fact two sets, both HSS, and never used most of them. Now I buy good (not great) bits as needed, usually CMT cheap line or Whiteside.
Do you need a center pin cone for every base plate

You need to learn to use a router before teaching, and before losing fingers!
ALWAYS go against the rotation, same as you do with a saw blade or anything else.
There are times to ‘climb ‘ cut, but not by ignorance. 🙏

@@nonplayablecharacter4815 You ALWAYS GO AGAINST ROTATION!
***There are times this rule can be broken WITH EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE!
If you need the basics of the basics broken down in syllables, stick to you computer and leave tools alone.
