The TRUTH about the carbide insert router bits
In this video, I am reviewing and testing these router bits which have been sent to me by Findbuytool and they asked me to share my thoughts on them trough a video. They've been pretty useful so far especially the one with carbide inserts. I hope you enjoy the video!

Easy to make wooden clamps (version 1.0)

I am on a quest to create the best shop-made clamps so these are my first version that you can make with cheap materials, also they are easy to make even for a beginner woodworker. In my second version, I will use bolts for even greater clamping pressure, which you can tighten manually or using a wrench. Stay tuned! Thank you for watching!

    I think the burning is because you ran to bits too fast with a slow feed. Reduce the depth of cut and move faster

  • @smithy5822
    @smithy5822 9 днів тому

    Hey, manual machinist here. HSS can cut mostly just as good as carbide, though heat kills the cutting edge like nothing. Carbide is wonder for wood cutting, cause it doesnt experience same thing as in metal cutting such as chip welding itself to the cutting edge and etc :D Endgrain black marks from cutting are due to cutting edge is rubbing againts the surface or improper feeds and speeds.

      @MadebyNiclas 13 днів тому

      Thanks! I am not using it daily but so far they hold their sharpness pretty well and I have 3 more extra edges to go. 10 carbide inserts will be around 20$. On this bit, before buying it you can select a second option with 10 extra carbide inserts and I think they will be cheaper. You can checkout on the first link in the description. Thank you!

    Have two of these bits , they are awesome !!! One is 3 inches and the other is 2 1/4 inch tall. The bigger one vibrants a little bit. But cuts and leaves a smooth surface. I make small parts for children's chairs.

  • @MadebyNiclas

    This is an update About those lines along the cut. I checked the insert bit today and the problem was caused by two inserts. They were not placed correctly in their sockets. I readjusted them and ensured that all of them were sited correctly, I made some other test cuts and the problem is gone no more noticeable marks. Unfortunately, the video is made. I take this on myself I should've checked things twice before starting filming but I hope you still find the video useful. Thanks for watching! God bless!🙂

    Care needs to be taken not to over-tighten carbide inserts. Two years ago I installed a helical carbide cutter in my thickness planer and had to remove all the inserts in order to put the cutter into the planer. Two of the inserts were already broken in half. The manufacturer recommended using a torque wrench at a specific setting.

      Thank you! Make sure that all the bolts are tight. Not going to lie, but I had mixed emotions when I first tried this thing. If you are not scared it means you are not focused enough when working with your tools:)

    Nice review. I would have liked to see a test cut of your big HSS bit as well. That would have given us a baseline of what your router and jigs could do with steel to see just how much of an improvement these are. I do note a line in some of the cuts from the insert bit. Any chance that there's a chip under one of those inserts?

    • @MadebyNiclas
      @MadebyNiclas Місяць тому

      Thank you! Unfortunately, the HSS bit is dull and wouldn't have been a good comparison with the inserts one. Those lines are from the inserts, they are not perfectly aligned with one another.

    • @bobmazzi7435
      @bobmazzi7435 Місяць тому

      @@MadebyNiclas I know. Just a question of if the alignment issue is a chip under an insert, an insert not seated correctly, a insert that's thicker, or the cutter body that's mismachined. It's close, and if you are willing to sand a bit, not a problem. But, if it's just a bad insert it could be fixed very easily.

    6:05 I always prioritize the grain pattern (looks) over the smiley face, sad face rule. By the way, if you run the boards 2 and 2 sideways in the thicknesser, you might get good results without a fence. It is a kind of in-out method, or the same as planing 2 boards by hand at the same time. Any error cancels out.

    • @MadebyNiclas
      @MadebyNiclas Місяць тому

      I think the boards will cup or crack even with the sad face smiley face rule if the lumber it's not dried properly which is the most important thing. That's a great tip! It make's sense why I didn't know about this earlier! Thanks! :)
