I mean, if you’re spending hundreds making a router table, and you don’t have the first clue how it works, you deserve everything you get.

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 6 күн бұрын

A lot of people buy a ready to go router table, just like they buy their bandsaws or table saws. It's not uncommon that they don't know how these machines work before buying, and the simplest thing like feed direction catches them out easily.

Thanks for this video, safety tips are well apreciated. Because I was entertaining the idea of buying a router table for my future projects, I've seen dozens of videos on KZfaq about router tables. In all the examples, nobody was wearing any gloves for protection for their hands. Thick gloves would have prevented some accidents that some woodworkers have experienced. Safety first.

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 16 күн бұрын

Actually, it is quite the opposite. Gloves increase the probability of a serious accident occurring when operating rotary equipment such as a router table. The problem is the rotation of the bit actually grabs onto the glove and pulls more of your hand into the bit. I personally use gloves to increase my grip, but I do so knowing that I am elevating my risk profile.

Although it increases my risk around rotary equipment, I wear gloves because they give me extra grip, and that saves some pain my wrists.

What a poor explanation at the beginning of this video as to how to fit a cutter into a collet. He does get it in correctly but there is no way a collet will pull the cutter downwards into the machine. The reason an air gap is left between the end of the cutter and the base of the collet is to protect the main bearing from heat. A router bit gets extremely hot in use and if the cutter is bottomed out in the collet that heat is transferred into the main bearing of your machine. Do that often enough and there is a good chance you will burn out your machine as the bearing begins to fail.

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 3 ай бұрын

When you tighten the nut, it presses the collet further into the collet housing, dragging the bit with it. It's possible to bottom out the bit.

So, inserting the wood from right to left makes a featherboard completely useless. Right? How about a featherboard on top of the wood?

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 4 ай бұрын

Great question. A featherboard provides consistent pressure towards the fence, or down onto the table. Consistent pressure results in a cleaner cut. It also allows fingers to be kept well away from the cutter if you're nervous about that stuff.

I was doing some routing on my table the other day and was having all kinds of weird problems. After stopping and examining things I realized that I was going the wrong direction on the table. What happened was I used the feather board that was on my table saw and it has an arrow in it and it was pointing the wrong way for my router. I had to take the feather board apart and flip the part with the "feathers" over and the arrow now pointed the right way. I had been doing some routing earlier without a fence, so I was going in the same direction, but the wood was on the other side of the bit. I will definitely be thinking a little more about what direction I should be going in the future. I will also be getting feather boards that will only be used on my router.

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 6 ай бұрын

That's a common problem you had. It's exactly why I speak about feeding the timber in opposition to the rotation of the router bit. I don't speak of following arrows on jigs and fixtures because they are not always correct.

@lornaj3310 6 ай бұрын

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT. I've been following the direction of feed printed on the table - unconditionally. And I've been assuming that the solution to its murdrous tendencies has been more fences, more pressure, from more angles, MORE CONTROL... It's been driving my blood pressure through the roof becauae I'm always moving at a snails pace waiting for it to explode. DO RABBETS AND TENONS NEXT!! How do I keep those from getting spit out on the tail end when the bit finally breaks through the back of the piece?

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 6 ай бұрын

Ah ok. I can demonstrate how to prevent the timber from splitting out as the cut finishes. The answer is to have a waste piece behind your board so the fibers are supported.

if you have a bearing on your router bit then using fence is pointless.

The fence allows for faster work, given the greater level of control. Also, the pressure from the bearing on the timber creates a slight indentation in the edge of the wood.

It seems the another problem putting the board between the fence and the cutter is the side force put on the router and the bit. Since both the fence and router are set solid, it would put some force against the bit. It may not mess it up right away. But the side force would not be good for the bearings in the router or the shaft of the bit. Of course, the feather board would help.

@kuffyswoodworktipsandtalk 10 ай бұрын

Correct. When you apply too much lateral force to the bit or the bearing guide, you will snap the shank or burn up the bearing until the outer bearing ring separates. The bearings inside the router body are generally pretty good because they are fixed in at least 2 points so it doesn't flex much, if at all.
