I emailed ENT about the incorrect instructions. I would' have also asked for a few router bits to give away. Unfortunately, they didn't reply. Interestingly there's a video linked in their instructions and there the bit height is also set to 10mm.

If they do get in touch, give you some 'bits', I would love to have one to experiment with.

Great book for a beginner . kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

Thank you, Marius, for this video explanation for the use of this bit. I have stayed away from using it because I was warned it was difficult to set up. This really helped me understand it. Thanks for sharing. Felix

I recently purchased a drawer router bit similar to the one in this video I am very happy that this video was made. Thank you!!!!!! From Montana

The managing editor of "Wood Working Guild Of America" (WWGOA) made a video in 2018, telling us how we need to make many cuts and router adjustments to get the correct setup! And he is not the only one with many years of woodworking experience who have made similar videos with the same "there is no other way than test cut over and over again until you happen to find the correct setting (- and have a stack of sandpaper ready)" way to use this great lock system bit. Well done, Marius, you both came up with the formel and shared it with us! (Y) You and Matthias Wandel's are a lot alike in the way you approach woodworking, with a lot more science and logic, and eagerness to find new solutions, than most of your "colleagues" here on YT. It's always a pleasure to watch the process as well as the outcome (Y) PS: If you haven't seen his DIY Pantorouter, I really recommend it! :-) Alles gute aus Dãnemark (y)

Hi Marius I see several times the videos and follow every recommendation to a perfect joint on in my drawers!! Thanks you for the great explanation cheers from Argentina

Glad you started back on videos :) I learn a few new tips and get a bit of a laugh at the same time :) nice work

If you're not worried about visible dowels, you could always dowel the sides after glue-up to really strengthen the joint. And like someone else mentioned, a ply bottom would essentially eliminate that failure mode anyway. Awesome video!

Thanks Marius, very timely as I'm about to build some drawers and plan to use my drawer bit. I'll have to watch this a couple more times and build a spreadsheet.

Hi, Thank you very much for this tutorial. I bought this, but did not use it jet. Now I know how. Keep it safe. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷

I really appreciate your presentation in Sketchup. That helped me understand how the bit height and fence position affect the joint much better than watching someone say “See this? I have to lower the bit height…” You also demonstrated that while having overhanging edges on the front is possible, it isn’t practical. At least that’s what I saw.

Nice to see you back with another great instructional video.

Brilliant video. It explains setting up very clearly and precisely. Thank you very much.

Great video! Excellent discussion on how to setup this bit. Thanks for posting

Nice video Marius! Well explained and really good camera angles/lighting/editing. Thumbs up!

These are the kind of instructions I like. Thank you.

Thanks for giving us the correct instructions!

Excellent video. I think once you put these calculations into a spreadsheet, it would be very quick to create a cut list for any size drawer.

As usual. Great video brilliantly explained. Thank you

BRAVO Marius, well-done video. Impressive, your mathematics and skill with the stretch program are very interesting. Not to discount the importance of what you have just shown us in this video I was watching and never set up my bits with mathematics as you have just demonstrated so skillfully. I have for many years used lock miter bits for many, many jobs I have performed over the years and I have found in all of this type of bit or shaper cutters there are only two very important measurements. the height and thickness of the objective cut in question. often times it is the actual size of the material. when this concept is clearly understood one can easily rais the cutter to the needed height and then cutting through the safety face board arrive at the targeted depth of cut. All in all, I very much so enjoyed your video.

Thank you Marius. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Thank you for the math / geometry lesson. Seems like a lot of work for one box, but a real time saver if your making many. Think I need to start working in metric, fractional inches complicate the whole process unnecessarily.

Sehr interessante Fräser. Die stehen auch noch auf meiner Wunschliste 😊👍🏻

Brilliant video, Marius. Thank you!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Given the fact the draw would have a base, this joint seems to well strong enough for any draw.

I'm definitely thinking like a proper constructor now. When Marius was explaining how the calculations work, it immediately occurred to me you could use the second mode to make a single-piece drawer front. If you were to want a permanently captive drawer, you could also do it on the back (and then build the cabinet around the drawers to capture them). If you were building something like a component/fastener/hardware cabinet, this would be ideal as such drawers don't need to support heavy things and you usually need to make them in quantity. This would make turning out a few dozen small drawers a LOT faster than most other joinery methods.

Really enjoyed this especially the testing

I have this bit and have not used because of the lack of competent instructions. I will give it a go. Thanks

Awesome stuff Marius! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Holy math Batman that is alot of setup but once done and figured out makes setup for the future projects. You could setup a spreadsheet with the formulas you use and have it done all for you faster. Great video and great explanation, thanks.

I would rather overcut it slightly, so you have a little overhang on the end side. That way you can easily remove and make it flush with a router bit. Nice video again!

With some ply on the base of the drawer that failure mode would be eliminated, I'd reckon. It'd be interesting to see how the joint would fail when you load a drawer up with a load of junk, I'd reckon it'd be plenty strong.

Lots of numbers but stil worth to watch. Nice job Marius

Wie immer Top Marius👍 Mach weiter so

Im really enjoy your video... Its awesome your explanantion its very clearly ..

great video....thanks for the great design experience you shared. Which version of solid works you use?

Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. I have been wanting to pick up one of those bits and you just saved me hours of experimenting :) Do you feel that reinforcing the joint with a dowel would mitigate any of the weaknesses, or would that just be overkill in your opinion?

@MariusHornberger

4 жыл бұрын

I don't think it's worth the extra time.

I used a similar miter lock bit to make boxes - all eight edges were cut with the bit. The interlocking of the pieces was such that I had to assemble/glue all six sides at once. Your bit would allow for two steps, which would be much easier. Another thing to be careful of when using either bit style is that water based glue causes wood to expand. When the joints are long (>300mm, 12") you need to spread the glue and assemble quickly or the joint surfaces swell before you finish and may not fit properly. It's really bad with MDF.

Love the outakes, very funny(humoures)

Superb explanation.

I'm curious but confident all the drawers I made out of 1/2" baltic birch for clients over the years are still working just fine and I just did a simple rabbit joint and pinned from the front. Todays glue is amazing and when you use mechanical slides I just don't think there is much force on the joints. The expense of making box joints or dovetails on kitchen drawers Is high and honestly how often do you open a drawer and admire the dovetails... once, when the manufacture points them out after installing the kitchen.

But lovely details make the difference from a craftmansship master to a capatalistic user. Glue in the end is not more than plastic and basicly turns ur wood into problematic waste. Depends on ur working-philosophy.

For such a complex setup I wouldn't be inclined to use that router bit honestly and then to get such test result as you displayed to us on the stress test, I'm not seeing how this would be of any use to cabinetry joiners and makers. Thanks for the information though. I always enjoy watching your videos ever since you were making them in German.

Great details very well explained been following your videos and all great detailed information on your channel. What's the name of that router bit and where did ya buy it? Think dove tail jig will go if I get this

Very helpful. Thanks.

Marius, could you make some screen shots of the cad drawing withe the dimensions showing the relationship of the bit to the stock. In the video it was difficult to see the numbers.

Hello Marius, I've been making KZread videos for several years. But only recently have videos about woodworking! One of my first: The drawer gluing cutter from ENT. I bought one and had problems with the setting. Unfortunately, there were few solutions among German-speaking KZreadrs. After I posted the video online a few days ago, I received a reference to your video!!!😍 The surprise was great... given such a spatial and temporal distance... still the same solutions and ideas! I would like to add your great video as a link to mine, if that's ok with you? I think your channel should definitely become better known in German-speaking countries! Kind regards from a pensioner in Odenbach, Germany🙂 P.S.: The first thing I did was of course subscribe to your channel!👍

I'm using this platform to ask a question: I watched your video on the Scissor lift a couple of years ago. I would now like to make one now, so I was hoping that you might have released plans for yours. I see a lot of plans on the internet but they don't go as high as yours. If you do sell the plans I would really be interested. I have also copied this request on the original lift video. Thank you.

Best video... greetings from Pakistan.

Great video! Loove the fact that you did not shy away from what people seem to call math (calculating is mechanical, math isn't). But I have to say, this: length and width end with -th, height ends with a -t, so you pronounce it HAYT with a TEEEEE! I know you are not a native, and neither am I. I have heard native Anglophones make this mistake, and it makes me cringe every time. That being said, keep up the good work!

Nice! Unfortunately I can't find the router bit anywhere. Care to share the article no. or a product link?

Thanks man this drawer bit is the perfect solution to a problem I have been having I re finish and re purpose alot of old furniture that the drawers have been misused the dove tails are broken someone has tried a bad repair on it ,, now I can simply rabbit out bad ends glue up new piece leaving the drawer front alone use your new router bit idea !!

The dove tails are the ideal joinery system if you have and Incra Joinery System, quick easy and dependable. But not everyone has the Incra System. I have both and believe me the Incra is easier to set up than this bit.

I think that their instructions account for some sanding to make the joints flush. You wouldn't do that on veneered plywood, but if you were using solid wood you probably would. Either way, this video is just superb.

Teacher: "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Kid: "Dunno... defenitely nothing where I'll need maths... maybe woodworking..." Marius: 🤔 "Hold my beer..." 🤭😅

Hallo Marius, ich nehme an, du nutzt den ENT 16270. Für diesen Fräser muss die Höhe genau 9,79 mm sein. Der Teil vom Ende bis zur Schrägen ist 3.97 mm. Die Schräge hat einen Winkel von 30 bzw. 90 Grad. Die Höhe des schrägen Schneidenteils ist 1.85 mm. Diese Angaben hat ENT mir zur Verfügung gestellt. Ich habe es auch ausprobiert. Ich nutze, wie du eine digitale Lehre und stelle damit auf 9,80 mm ein. Dann passt es perfekt.

Sounds like a bad bit company if they can’t even get their own math right. Then they don’t respond. This is a perfect video of what NOT to buy. Thanks! I will avoid this like COVID-19! lol

Excellent video Marius. This bit has been around for some time now along with the Lock Miter bit. They both have some of the same characteristics in set-up. However, even though I have used both of the said bits for many years now I have stopped using them in drawer construction for the reason I have been complaining about for years now of having mortise and tenon joint so tight that they must be hammered into place THUS "Where is the Gule going to go?" That's Right Pushed right out of the joint itself where it is supposed to be to keep things in place. Look at your joint it is wood to wood there is no place for Glue. And are you totally agreeable with a .003mm film of glue in the joint? Do you really think that that thin film is a sufficient amount of glue to do the job it is intended for? I think these bits are really good inventions but should be pinned with gun nails or brad pins because there is no good space for any decent amount of glue to do its intended job of bonding the two surfaces together as one piece. No, dovetails or box joints for me in drawer construction now and forever. These bits are used with gun nails no glue is needed because there is no place for the glue in this tight joint. I know it still works and has been used for many years now but I'm not talking as a customer buying home depot kitchen cabinets but as a knowledgeable woodworker of good cabinetry construction not just how to make something and sell it and hope it holds together for a while.

That is a good thing to think about. The glue line thicknesses for wood joints are generally from 0.13-0.18 mm (0.005-0.007 in.) thick for glued assemblies. That is optimal according to my searches. I wouldn't think these joints are tighter than that... If they test fit that tight, can't we adjust and leave a little room? I suppose its also a bit of a factor of how much clamping pressure you use and how it affects this joint. Since there is a ramp in this joint. that area would take most of the pressure first and it may be thinner than ideal, but I think there is a fair bit of glue surface. and the joint itself is designed to resist twist and be self aligning, which is pretty nice. the bottom should account for the kind of forces he used in this video to break the joint.

Would this bit work with a plunge router? I unfortunately do not have a router table. But I do have a festool plunge router.

I see no reason why it shouldn't work

Because Marius is an incredible genius, using math comes natural. Sadly, MOST woodworkers (and many others); could never use math, let alone understand it. So most woodworkers are going to use "trial and error" until they get it right. If I was younger (I am 88 now), I would use the mathematical system as Marius so eloquently demonstrated. But sadly, I am just too dadgum old to learn the math, even though I was a math "nurd" in school. On well.

You could always add a couple of splines at 45 degrees to increase the strength.

Suggest a roll of pain paper to cover the bench when gluing stuff up . . .

All draws only experience stress in 2 direction, push or pull and not from the side or diagonally. If you always orientate the draw so that the longer 2 sides are the front and back, the shorter sides literally hook into the front and back giving more than enough strength against the push pull stress. I have this cutter gathering dust in a draw because it had no instructions of how to set it up and I got frustrated trying to work it out This joint should give years of service if done correctly. Thanks for showing us how to. As an edit ENT is something different in England so I couldn't look up there website

I do not think a stop collar is a good idea, why? The bit would be raised higher leaving less of the bit in the bit holder this would create a high mass high center of gravity swinging around at about 16.000 rpm. Not very safe. Large bits need to turn slower have 1/2 shank or larger and sit as low as possible in the collect the mass of the bit below the jaws of the bit add stability when rotating. The answer to your Dilemma is to get the bit set up properly height and fence depth for your stock thickness and make and save setup blocks for the next time you use this bit.😁🛫

personally I have the chinese version of this type of router bit .. the setup is also a crazy thing .. it's helps for making joint ... but you always need to make some tests before making the real cuts .. also I think that it is necessary to slightly reduce the wood before attacking it with the bit .. it is a little hard
