I think I’ll be be buying that beasty for my new set up 🎉

Whether this dude’s deadpan attitude is real or put on, I’m all in. Especially because it comes with an accent of some sort or another.

I like big bits and i cannot lie You other woodworkers can't deny When a bloke walks in with an itty bitty bit And a round thing in their router, you get wood Wanna pull up tough 'cause you notice that bit was stuffed

Good gawd!! That bit looks like a medieval torture device! Seems to cut veeeerrrryy nicely though.

I got some of the cheap orange plastic corner clamps off Amazon. They’re pretty good, dead square but no through holes but a couple of squeeze clamps works great. Pretty good as a second pair of hands more than an actual clamp clamp

I think I’ll hold on that bit… looks like it’s begging for a fight 😂

I purchased the same beast of a router bit about nine months ago. My first test was to freehand route into a piece of 25mm thick particle board with the router (not inverted). It was scary because it ate up the particle board without any resistance. The next test some time later was to straight trim a gnarly piece of timber that was 2400 long against a straight mdf board. It is like cutting through butter. I have a spiral cutter in my thicknesser but not my surface planer so to be able to create a straight edge on a figured (fiddleback) board without breakout is fantastic. They are available on a few of the Chinese sites. Be aware that they may leave the tiniest of little ridges where the cutters overlap, it takes 10 seconds to clean up. Brilliant cutter.

That router bit looks to be using a Spiral geometry. That is, the cutters are laid out in a spiral pattern, which helps with noise and vibration. However, even better is a Helical geometry, where the cutters are additionally angled relative to the direction of cut. This is what gives that shearing action that reduces tear-out further. The geometry for helical is more complex to calculate, but for tools you expect to be using a lot and for a long time, might be worth the extra money. The cutters are themselves the same.

You’ll find that those types of corner clamps are fiddling nightmares. Better to make your own from plywood with holes large enough to use with squeeze clamps. One handed use, no nightmare.

The thumbnail looked like the hand was used to, perhaps even comfortable with, being close to thick, stubby rough bits.

Thank you for the video, but could you sound a little less depressed next time

That’s really disappointing on the corner clamps not being square. I have 4 pairs of each size and all of them are dead-on, woodpeckers square checked, accurate.

Were those corner clamps equally out of square if you measure on the outside, since that's the side you put against the inside joint of the cabinet or box? Seems possible that the outside might be milled to be square and they didn't bother with the inside.

I like the pattern bit what a beast. I must admit I'm not a fan of the corner clamps they look like a pain in the backside to set up and then if there not square what's the point 🙄 as for the height gauge I'll stick with my digital one and just take the battery out if I'm not using it for a while.shame I forgot last time and now need to change the battery 😔

That's a very impressive shank 😮 the heads not bad either. I think a seen this a few months back on American channel scared shit out me. Seems cut like a dream. I also suspect you'd be able buy carbide turning tool replacement blades depending the size probably cheaper aswell. For the clamping squares i got a box of 10 from Rutland's month or so ago there rigid plastic totally square work really well think they was only 15 quid worth a look 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

New part number for that bit. #finger remover 3000.

Hi what's the router bit make. Thanks Oli

I run mine in my shapere....

Duh, I do not understand why they do not sell those depth-meters with indicator clocks, like those one can find to callipers, the digital variants always have a flat battery when one grab them, should be a law aginst flat batteries 😁

1400 rpm? You sure about that? I don’t have a router that will go that slow.

Your digital depth gauge has a scale on it, am I missing something - can’t you use it as a non digital, it’ll be useable to within half a mill which is close enough for nearly any standard routing task? Re batteries, I know your pain. I have a set of expensive Mitutoyo callipers, for engineering, I use those (as you did on the vid) to set depth and use them on the saw and router. As I only need one digital item therefore, I only have one battery to worry about. The trick is, I always have a new battery in the box ready for it. When it goes in, I put another in the box straight away or if I’ve run out, order some more there and then as plenty of time as new one just put in. They last around a year. Just ordered one of the ‘big cock’ cutters, mines bigger than yours etc, did it through your link so BG should see it. It’ll go into the big triton router for quick jobs as saves changing / setting up the spindle moulder. The price of it now makes that do-able

For the algorithm....

Wow that’s a beast of a router bit.

I bought the same type of clamps from Temu and funny enough they were good aye. Luck of the draw by the look of it. That bit is more than a beast…it’s massive. Cheers ⚓️🫡🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
