In this video I show you how to make access holes and covers sometimes called grommets for my woodworking projects using a router and a template. If you need an access panel to get to sockets or a stopcock this method works for cabinets, desktops or floors and creates the perfect fit every time.
Method used to make the template: • Easy Circle Cutting Ji...

Thanks for the video - nice neat way of getting an access hatch done. The router is such a useful tool especially when you get your head around using guide bushes and templates. Look forward to next weeks instalment 👍

Hi, Tommy! I'm new to using guide bushings. Up until now, pattern and flush trim bits with bearings have sufficed, but now I'm running into situations where trying to make a bearing-bit do the job is just not working. Your video was very easy to follow, so I chose to try it for myself to get familiar with these new guide bushings. I've been confused about one thing -- and it's not getting any better! From what little I've learned, guide bushings can reduce the size of a piece when the pattern is a cutout in a template. Bushings can also expand the size of a piece when the pattern is a solid object, like the off-cut you used to make the insert in the second step of the video. That's where I am getting tangled up. If you use the same router setup for both the first and second steps, the first step reduced the pattern leaving an off-cut which was smaller. Then when using that hole's off-cut to create the insert, if using the same setup, it would upsize the piece by the same offset, right? That's what i experienced when I tested the process myself. I wound up with an insert that was the exact size of the hole the off-cut came from. in fact, the remains from my step 2 was a duplicate of the hole created in step 1. The only way I can see getting an insert larger than the hole is either use a larger guide bush in step 1 than or 2 -- or use the resulting insert from step 2 and repeat that step, increasing the size of the piece two times versus once. Am I missing something basic in your tutorial? I've watched it over and over, and the only thing I can see that would follow my theory is you used a larger guide bush in step #2 to increase the offset and, in turn, the size. Like I said, this is new territory for me. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Help!! And keep up the great videos. You're a natural!

Hi, From reading your comment I think the problem your having is caused by your guide bush and router bit sizing. If you are ending up with a piece the just fits perfectly in the first hole cut you must have an equal setup of bush and bit combination for example a 30mm bush with a 10mm bit which gives a 10/10/10 split. The offset needs to be generated by using a combination of for example a 30mm bush and a 6mm bit which gives a 12/6/12 split and thus creating the overlap by 6mm that's required. I hope this makes sense. Tommy

@ That makes total sense. I'm living in the US Empire, so naturally I'm using Imperial measurements :-P. The bushing is 3/4", and the bit is 1/4". That would be an even 1/4 | 1/4 | 1/4 split. 🤓 I guess my OCD gravitated toward the symmetry those numbers offered. Given the bushings I have and my option of either a 1/4" or 1/2" bit, that's what I went with. I'll try again later with a less even split. If I use my 1" bushing (the largest in my set), that would give me 3/8 | 1/4 | 3/8. For this task, I'm starting to think I need a) bigger bushings, b) a smaller bit, or c) both! Thanks very much for the quick reply. I appreciate learning from someone who has way more experience and can explain it so even newbies like myself can grasp it. Every chance to learn is a good thing. If I hadn't made this "discovery", I may never have learned not to do that! Thanks again! Doug.

@ By the way, I cut another insert using the first insert (same size as the hole) as the pattern along with my 1" bushing & 1/4" bit. That gave me a 3/8" overlap. My rabbeting bit can do 3/8". Glad to know if I mess up again, I can make it work using the hole I cut. Aloha! Doug.

Did you use a 1/4" (6.35mm) rebate cutter? I cant find a metric equivalent. Stumbled across this video. This is absolute genius because of the rebate which stops the panel falling through or needing hinges. Thank you for taking time to share this

Hi, The rebate cutter I have has multiple different bearings so I can swop them to create a 6mm or 6.35mm rebate.

@@JBSeymour I honestly can't remember where I got it iv had it for years. If you can get a set of router bit bearings you should be able to create the desired rebate even with an imperial bit. You should be able get bearing sets on amazon

hi tommy when you put the "grommet" in and it beautiful like yours how do you get it out? cheers
Жыл бұрын
Hi Martyn, that depends on the location and purpose of the grommet/ access panel. Sometimes it may be possible to reach from underneath and simply push it up. But for the times when this isn't possible like bottom of a cabinet with no underneath access I simply use a small suction cup to lift it out.
