A Better Way to Raise Panels? "Vertical" router bits on a Horizontal Router Table

Post by Chad »



My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood

SHOP NOTES: Routing beautiful raised panels for doors or wainscoting can be intimidating with high HP routers and large diameter bits. And the cost of those large diameter bits can also give you pause, which is why "vertical" raised panel router bits were introduced. They can be powered by lower HP, non-variable speed router motors, but now they introduce challenges brought on by having to guide the wood through the router table on edge. Using a horizontal router table, like my old Shopsmith Joint-Matic can be the perfect companion to these bits.

💡 Here's an idea: If you aren't ready or able to join the channel, you can always support the channel by watching, clicking the thumbs-up, commenting, sharing, and by clicking through the provided links whenever you are shopping on Amazon or eBay. You don't even need to purchase the items these links lead to, but by going through these links they'll reward us with a small "finders fee". Thanks in advance for the support!

🟢 I've created an Amazon list of many of the tools that I have found to be indispensable in my shop. http://a.co/0GLhuR2 You may have to click the "Filter" link to show the items in the list. I suggest sorting them by priority.

Here are links to a few of the products I used or discussed in this video:
🟢 Here are some reasonably priced, anti-kickback carbide carbide-tipped vertical raised panel router bits, like the one I used in this vid: https://amzn.to/3BJe3A5 Search for "Vertical" and avoid any that have 1/4" shanks!
🟢 Here's a link to Shopsmith Joint-Matic tools for sale on eBay: https://ebay.us/KCTyk9
Be careful to study the details of the plastic slide. We'll talk more about this in the next video. I shared more about this on this blog post: http://shopsmith-tool-hunter.blogspot...

For more information, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/c/MyGrowthRings/featured

Exclusive Underwriter gives you access to STUMPED Q&A videos
Access to the video Library of Questions, Comments, & Cheap-Shots from all past videos. All for about $2.00 a month. That's less than the cost of one issue of your favorite woodworking magazine.

SHOP NOTES:
In the last video, we used a horizontal router table (The Shopsmith Joint-Matic) with "vertical" raised panel router bits, but dust collection was AWEFUL! In this video, we answer the questions, comments, and cheapshots that came from that video, plus we try an older raised panel bit to see if the new-fangled anti-kickback bits were the problem.

Here's the video I mentioned where I walked through some tips on what to look for when buying a Shopsmith Joint-Matic: 🎬 https://youtu.be/hnGVQXQrMaA
