Sedge, you’re the greatest! After watching this, I’ve regained my confidence in doing roundovers. Now I’ll NEVER make the mistake again. Best, clearest teacher ever (and funny to boot!).😊 Thanks for your work!
Great info for newbies Sedge. Really enjoyed meeting you at the Austin Recharged event. My daughter Megan said you are a true showman! Please remember to give Big D my message👍🏼
I gave up on trying to remember clockwise or counterclockwise for what ever and just decided to remember push into the cut like a table saw blade. Why is that so hard for people?
I hope you can answer my question; I am currently make a guitar with walnut with organic shape (telecaster) I am trying to trim an edge (small indent all around to install bindings later). I tried flushing the edge before, but it got jerked and destroyed one of the points. I was going counter clockwise. I have the latest version of the OF1010, but It seems to mostly jerk perhaps because it tips a little. Assumption. The bit has a bearing. I was wondering how I can safely have a go at it again. I try to make small passes, but I think it has to do with either the tipping, wood grain.. or perhaps both. I do not use any accessories with it. I try letting the bearing do its job. I hope you have a tip for me, and hope you can explain it like I am a 3 year old :)
That is a tough one...The grain of the wood seems to be the culprit in your situation..... i use ultra shear bits in this situation..or I use a climb cut in very very light passes when the grain is in reverse...Hard to describe in typing words..I hope this makes sense....
the router is the most versatile tool in any wood shop...it can also be the most dangerous...before turning on any router I always make sure I am going in the right direction ...
Wow that finger thing is genius, gonna remember that for the rest of my life and teach others aswell! What is the best chamber bit for a 1010? I’m in the market for a new one and find it hard to find Anglo’s brand. What do you suggest?
Good rule of thumb, but worth pointing out that the spin of the router flips around when it's inverted in a router table, and the right hand rule become incorrect. Climb cuts can be controlled with a hand held router on the top of a piece, but climb cutting with a router in a table is very difficult to control, and you stand a good chance of flinging your work piece across the shop.
i was taught. router in hand: is like reading a book, the router moves left to right. router table: is like you tossing a baseball in your mitt. the wood moves right to left, if your right handed.
True, but Simplistic frankly. I agree this is fine for beginners or intermediate users, but there are times when you are better off going the opposite direction. Heresy? Nope. Climb cutting, (a better explanation rather than "kick back" frankly) CAN leave a nicer surface! Sure, if you want to hog off a lot, don't do it, but in woods that will chip or tear out, a final light pass in the climb cut direction will make less tear out. Why, because blades are cutting the fibers against the frame, rather than potentially pulling them up. And another thing, consider modifying your router base. Elliptical bases, with an additional handle out on the small end, will make a more stable base, and give you a lot more control. Not needed on all your routers obviously, but why do people think that a router, balanced basically close to it's center of it's base, is stable?? Keep that offset handle securely on the work and it is much easier to make a perfectly routed profile.

wow...Thanks !!
Every single time I go to the router I question myself on which way to go. I hope I can remember this. This is super helpful.
Great to hear!
Great tutorial on inside / outside routing!! Learned how to go around corners easily when rabbeting > Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
Love the thumb and forefinger trick. It puts smile on my face, thanks mate.
Thanks Alan
I was looking for the best mortise I’d ever seen but couldn’t find it 😮🎉
LOL !!
One of my favorite Sedge tips!
Thanks Andy !!!!
Bench Heavy energy, u2 are a great teaching couple with a smile also, thanks!
Thank You !!

will do
Great tip and so easy to remember thanks
I like "Easy to Understand " has often been a confusing topic in teaching woodworking / power tool safety.
Hi Sedge, great lesson on the router today! Blake
Thanks Blake
Good teaching, Brian! Thanks, man!
Thanks George
Thanks Guys!
Thanks David !!!!
what bit use the router 700 for plywood drawers?
6 mm

Great as always guys!
Thank You !!
Awesome literally still the tool that makes me the most nervous even over the lathe 😂
the router is the most versatile tool in any wood shop...it can also be the most dangerous...before turning on any router I always make sure I am going in the right direction ...

There are some good ones from Bits and Bits...check them out !!
Really great information thank you! Love the channel. Don't routers spin counter clockwise below the equator? hehe
good question
Awesome and easy!
Thank you! 😊

Great job as always. Years ago before I heard of the magic "L", my dad taught me "Left to right, that's how you write and route".
too cool Warren..
A very great video thanks
Thanks
Top tip so simple 🇬🇧👍
Thanks Gary
Helpful. Thanks. How about when using a router table.
Stay tuned !!
Use your left hand!
Left to right facing down (holding the router). Right to left when router is in a router table. But I do like the hand, thumb and finger thing…l
cool !!
Ok! So the thumb is on the edge that you are cutting and the index finger points the direction, thank you, think I’ve got it!
ok .. glad you got it

The direction is a lot more obvious (at least for me), on a router table. You can tell pretty quickly that something ain’t right.
True...looking to do a router table video soon...

Good too know..Thanks !!!
just say push against the bit rotation ,simple
ok

Good For You..Thanks for sharing...
TAUGHT CABINETMAKING FOR 45 YEARS - EASIER METHOD: COUNTER ON THE OUTSIDE - CLOCK ON THE INSIDE
Tried that once a few years ago with a 16year old... Dis not know what counterclockwise or clockwise meant..he had grown up in a digital world....
I’ve never quite got that, surely you can hold your fingers differently? But I’ll keep watching….
wait for it !!!
And on a router table, it's reversed because the router is upside down. Always right to left on the router table.
Thank you !!
The wrong way is called climb cutting for a reason! Lol that router will climb up on you
Have had it happen...
I wish my name was Big D
👍
I dislike video titles like this.
Thanks for watching
