The best and least-complicated method I've seen so far. Terrific video, thank you!

@monicapinto3225 11 ай бұрын

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzfaq.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

Thanks for the demonstration. I will be using this technique for all my dadoes in the future.

Excellent video. Have been waiting to build a shelf because I thought I needed to build a complicated dado jig to make the cut. Glad there is a more straightforward solution to such an essential cut. Thanks!

@robertbutler8004 4 жыл бұрын

Mr Video then don't clamp the jig where he did at one end because when you start or finish at the end without a clamp you could push the jig to one side this was a stupid idea have a clamp at both ends to be safe. The jig is fine but the clamping one end only is stupid.

Hey Bob, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent tutorial on how to rout dadoes via jigs. I especially appreciate your including in the instruction the technique of using a stop block to prevent the dado being seen on the front of the work piece.

This is especially good because it can cut to the same width/thickness as the particular shelf. 1x stock from the lumber yard only approximates the standard thickness, and a one-size-fits-all router dado jig for supposed 1x stock will cut some dados too narrow and some too wide. Setting the jig for each specific shelf will cut exactly to that shelf. Thank you for an excellent idea and video.

Thank you for this video. Its really amazing. I had a question. Can we use a roundover bit to round plywood edges. I heard we should not use router bits on plywood as the resin ruins the blades. But you are using it flawlessly. Could you please make a video on plywood edge roundover with router if possible. Thank you

I like that. It's so simple. But, I think I'll use 4/4 scrap wood I have, and the first pattern bit you showed to get a 3/8-inch deep dado.

where do I purchase the router bits you used in your video; I would want (1) each 1/4" bit-a 1/2" bit and an undersized 3/4" bit; great video will make my jig today; thank,s PATRICK; THESE APPEAR TO BE SPECIAL BITS??

@richlewisg7818 5 жыл бұрын

Does the width of the two jigs matter, and what size are the pieces you’re using? I’m getting ready to make the jigs with 12” wide, 1/2” thick MDF. Does that sound reasonable?

@richlewisg7818 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for the response and for the excellent and effective video!

@mykalimba 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say that the width doesn't matter. Seems like it should be at least as wide as half the width of the router base. If you make the jig pieces too thin, the router might not sit without rocking. Also, the larger the jig pieces are, the larger the surface area is in contact with the piece beneath (thus more friction holding them together), the less likely the jig is to slip out of position when cutting the dado -- especially if it's only being held down by a single clamp.

Is this a flush trim bit?

@ksikka 5 жыл бұрын

When you glue the wood piece into the joint you made, how do you ensure it sets at a perfect 90 degree angle? As you showed, there was still a few degrees of slack.

@robertdennis1439 Жыл бұрын

excellent video..i have a question regarding a slight variation of the placement of the shelving...you marked the top of the shelf at 12", what if i wanted a dado to be 12" on center? the top jig would have to be clamped to the work piece 12" from the top edge of the board, minus half the thickness of the shelving material....is there a dummy proof way to set that mark without measuring the actual thickness of the shelf, doing the crazy fractional math and then hoping i place the mark in the correct spot? thank you!

How do you use jigs like these if you need to do a dado towards the end of the board? Is there a way?

@MitchBeHealthy 2 жыл бұрын

@D. Lindsay not necessarily. How about a dado just near the end of a board, let's say for a bottom shelf of a bookcase that is just a few inches from the floor. I ended up using a sacrificial board to partly rest the jig on.

Hi Bob and thanks for the videos, but I have a question about routing plywood for a T-Track, the plywood has knots in it which I cannot avoid in my design. Without having to pay for premium plywood (that is pretty much Knotless) but twice the expense $$ how do you suggest getting a clean cut through knots in the wood or am I dreaming and it can't be done?

@georgiethecarpenter5670 3 жыл бұрын

Making sure that you have a nice, sharp bit can help to reduce chip out. In this video it looks like he's using baltic birch plywood, which isn't as prone to tear out as normal ply. If you're finding it always chips out at the end of the cut, you could try placing a scrap piece of ply (the same thickness as the ply that you are dadoing) along the edge where you're routing to back it up.
