A better way to do kerf bending

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I briefly explain hows and whys of using router for kerf bending. And make 2 stands with live edge in process.
One big plus of this approach, I forgot to mention, is ease of calculations. You just get a certain bend angle per groove, regardless of groove depth or part thickness.

    I like the tapered bit idea. I think this is my fav. so far. That on top of a few other methods, I think you could make it seamless. Thanks for the idea.

    This is a fantastic concept. A slight outward taper towards the "mouth" of the kerf makes so much sense.

    Ну наконец то, хоть кто то, юзает конусную фрезу от ЧПУ🎉 а не циркулярку. Самый аккуратный, и почти везшовный метод. Особенно если брать с наконечником 0.25. Автору Респ.

    Cool, let me know if that works. Doesn't the saw cut with it's tip only? On the other hand you could get an even thinner tip, if you have a custom made tool. Would look better

    @@ivanmakes957 yea it seems the only way would be with a custom blade since there are no blades with teeth deep enough to do it im thinking of trying your way but using the circular saw with a thinner blade and not cutting as deep so the router bit doesn't have to struggle going through so much material and im pretty sure i can easily use the existing cuts with a jig on the router so i dont have to reset the straight edge for every cut with the router

    That's a great idea. Router should folow the groove cut with a circular saw without a jig(maybe not any groove) And it is certainly easier to cut straight line with a saw

    I'ld wish you could provide a link to a bit like that. Im using a 8mm router, and cant find anything like this. I came up with the same idea, that this could make seams almost invicible. The concept is great for high end furniture from plywood.

    Like glued wood. Mine's a little dirty, glue melted when sanding. The gaps get bigger towards the face side, because the bit tip has some width

    You can divide tip diameter by your piece thickness, and get arcsine of that value. Add that to your bit angle, and you get angle of each cut. But you'll need to test it on a scrap piece anyway, so it's easier to just measure it on that scrap piece. But I've just calculated, and this seems to add up. 1 mm tip diameter on 20 mm piece = 0.05 = extra 2.86 degrees = 8 cuts for 95 degrees instead of expected 10 for 90. And those 5 extra degrees spread on each cut are not noticable

  • @ivanmakes957

    @ivanmakes957

    And the bit itself has a constant angle, which would get constant angle for 1 cut if the tip was infinetely thin. In my case 9 degrees

    While contemplating using a v-groove router bit to do the same, I came across your video. Looks exactly like what I want to do. I think I'm going to harvest the saw dust to fill in the gaps on the edges for a more seamless look. Thanks for validating my thoughts!
