A note to newbies: Do observe the manufacturers max recommended cutter speed (often written on the shaft) especially on larger diameter cutters where the peripheral speed is higher and the max speed (or N max) should be lower to reduce the forces on the cutter shaft and router spindle. *Avoid cheap, poorly balanced cutters*

I love watching your videos! Just wondering; you use loose tenons to fill the gap between the rails and stiles. Is there any reason you don't route a tongue into the ends of the rails and slot them straight into the stiles? Is is simply a trade off between an extra bit change and cutting some loose tennons, or is there another reason? Cheers!

@10MinuteWorkshop

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Using a loose tenon made of the same material & thickness as the panel just makes for a faster build - one cutter, one set-up, one panel & tenon thickness. I use your suggested method (AKA a stub tenon) when I make solid doors that will have a natural finish i.e. not painted, as I prefer the aesthetics. Will probably do a video on that process at some point, so stay tuned 😁 👍

Would that size door work, all MDF, with all the panels glued up using your video method or is the door too long? Thanks

Hi Paul. Yeah, 2100 x 600 is a pretty big door. Sorry, but did you mean to make a raised panel door as in this video, or a shaker-style loose tenon door with a 9mm panel? A raised panel door is going to be pretty heavy, but 25mm rails & stiles (mid- rail at that size, obvs) and a 9mm panel should be fine. Don’t know where you’d buy your MDF from, but worth checking that it’s nice and flat for those rails and stiles. 👍👍

I think Ash might be more widely available, but I don't use a lot of natural timber so wouldn't want to say for sure. You'd need to allow for some movement with either of them, of course,, but I would absolutely expect it to be harder-wearing than MR MDF; if the finished piece is to be painted, I guess the question would be, how much harder-wearing do you really need? For example, I've been making these doors out of MR MDF for ~15 years or so and haven't had a single failure. Literally, not one.

Hi, how do I stop MDF doors from warping, my small kitchen doors are fine but the tall doors see to have warped.

@10MinuteWorkshop

5 жыл бұрын

What thickness MDF? Was it MR MDF or regular? Painted both sides or just one? Laid flat/on edge to dry, or just leaning? IME a 22mm rail & stile door from MR MDF won't warp / bend after painting if it's laid flat or on edge to dry. HTH P

2 Questions - How do you stop your router turning when tightening the bit retaining nut, I have a Trend T10 and the only way of stopping it is holding in the button on the side - How have you arranged the raising and lowering of your router - Cheers Robin

It’s the big Triton router slung under the bench, it auto-locks the shaft when the collet reaches full extension. And for raising & lowering I just reach under the bench and turn the knob. Later versions of this router had ‘above bench’ adjustment via a handle. 👍

That auto lock does sound handy. I have realised since that I should have bought a T11 not T10 as you can alter the height from above - Hey Santa are you listening!!!

Yes, the T11 is meant as a bit more of a bench/table mounted router - I have one as a trial right now, and it's quite a lump hand-held 👍

Hi Peter, just curious as to whether you have a variable speed router or not? If not, how easily/safely does the raised panel cutter cut mrmdf. I have a fixed speed (28000rpm) makita router and didn't want to try it at that speed!! I'm a one man band cabinet maker myself and your videos are great!

@10MinuteWorkshop

Hi Craig. it is variable speed, but I have it set permanently to 11 😬 I probably should have slowed it down some, for a bit that size, but it worked fine in MR MDF - though as always, run a test cut or two first 👍

I really, really, wouldn't run a large panel bit at 28K RPM - this would produce very high tip speeds. If you have a saw table, raised panels can be made very easily, or failing that, use a straight cutter and an incline jig to get the same result.

Here in the UK any commercial workshop running an unguarded blade can find themselves liable to a 5-figure fine, as it's considered one of the most serious breaches of health & safety regulations. So with respect, I really, really wouldn't recommend that method, here. I don't disagree with you re the router speed - I should have slowed it down - but it worked fine in MR MDF.

Peter, nice job. I'm thinking seriously about the Domino machine. However, I'd want it to make bigger items such as garden gates. Do you think the 500 could cope with that or would it be wiser to get the 700?

+Graham Orm Thanks! In an ideal world you'd have both; I have twitter pals who have the 700 and wish they had the 500 for smaller stuff, because the 700's a much bigger machine. I made some French doors with my 500 - bought it for that job specifically and the job paid for it, basically - and they've held up well, but I think for garden gates etc... you'd want the 700. Depends what the bulk of your work is, I guess??

Theoretically, yes - you’d need a CNC big enough to do it, obviously - but the biggest issue would be that you’d be exposing a lot of the MDF core on the panel, which isn’t the best of materials, so could be tricky to finish. 🤔🤷‍♂️👍

i can get 18mm mr mdf but next step up is 25mm would that be too much for rails and stiles?

@10MinuteWorkshop

Hi. 25mm is a little bit heavy - you'll be at or close to the limit of most concealed hinges, for example - though it depends on the size of your doors, of course. I find 22mm to be the sweet spot for the kind of doors I do, but for larger doors, if the choice was 18mm or 25mm, then I'd go 25mm, provided the hinges were OK. Cheers, Peter

Paul Elliott Hi Paul. I buy mine from a local timber yard - www.ajferguson.co.uk - who are very good, although AFAIK most decent yards will stock MR MDF. If you're in the U.K. (sorry, can't tell) you can also buy it from Wickes, Travis Perkins, Builder Depot, some B&Q branches, all the usual suspects - though I'd always advise seeking out a local timber yard as you'll get better service (and often prices) from them, as well as them being far more knowledgeable, and generous with their advice.
