Hey Bob! we're still cranking away and trying to get better with every set.

I use a 6 inch hole saw. I don't know why people have so much trouble with it? They might be pushing down too hard? I use little down pressure, cut halfway down. Flip the board over & cut the rest. No tear out...easy peasy. 😉

How do you avoid slipping on the final piece holding the hole cutout? I used to use the circle jig and would have to clamp the board down and screw the hole punch to a scrap to keep my bit from slipping when the center hole was released from the board.

truth h yep, good method, I did that for a while too. Because those bits are meant for trimming instead of cutting, it wears out the fluted blades faster than a cutting bit.

Use the wooden Jorgensen clamps. They have a lot more clamping power. After clamping the clamp parallel on the work, use the screw that’s furthest away from the work to tighten the clamp. It won’t move at all.

When you cut that, roughly, 8x4 sheet of Birch in half to make two boards.. I couldn't hear what you used to get such a straight edge on that cut. I used a circular saw to cut mine and its not quite, right. I also jacked up my circles but I see plenty of comments below on how to remedy that. LOL. Nice video.

Thanks for watching Jim! I use a Kreg Ripcut guide in my circular saw to cut the full sheets in half. Then I use a 24” metal square clamped to the tops to crosscut those in half. Always take before the crosscut to minimize tear out.

I currently use a hole saw. I get it started on one side then flip the board over and finish from the other side and that allows a clean cut, not blowout. I get through in about 2min and dont try to power through it.

Thanks! I like it the best of the 3 different ways I cut holes. I used to use a home made circle jig that I attach to the baseplate of my palm router to cut the holes. That method requires a lot of set up and if you slip, you're toast. I realized I could adjust the pin, make one plexiglass template and use the baseplate method that I do now with my full size router. Mine is literally scrap wood I bolted to the bottom of my router with a hole to pivot on. Here's a MUCH nicer version of a circle jig you can make to cut your big hole. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZpqztN_nsLcc9o.html

I thought about three crosscuts for the four boards Never thought about grain direction

@cornholecollective7116

11 ай бұрын

If you’re fully painting or wrapping the boards, that might be an easier way. My personal preference is the look of long grain and avoiding tear outs with an 8’ ripcut. It can be a lot to juggle if you don’t have a helper or full size table saw.

When you do the round over around the entire surface, are you setting the depth to half the thickness? Just got a router and want to make sure I’m not messing anything up.

Great question. When I use a 1/4” round over bit i don’t use the full radius. I extend about 2/3” of the rounded part of the bit past the baseplate. Just a personal preference. Lately I’ve been using an 1/8” round over and like that a lot. Be very careful that the corner edge of the blade doesn’t extend past the baseplate or you’ll gouge your deck.

When ripping ply (cutting with the grain) you will not often experience tear out since you’re going with the grain, however a cross cut going perpendicular to the grain will more easily get tear out. A fresh blade with the proper tooth count for the job will do a pretty good job, but if you have any bad luck or your blade begins to dull you may be left with some tear out that a round over bit won’t fix

Builder preference. There is no rule about leg angle but some say a more raked out leg absorbs some of the bag shock so less bounce, personally, I doubt it has much effect.

Got some imported birch plywood, big mistake. The veneer is so thin, and the layer under the veneer has a reddish color to it. Rounding the edges, especially around the hole, leaves an ugly looking red edge. Also, don't even walk by it with sandpaper or it will burn right through! Going back to the lumber yard next week to see how thick the veneer is on their domestic birch.
