    Slim Spiral down cut with a bottom bearing.
    Much better than anything you used on this video.
    Good work by the way.

    Great video as always, very inspiring. As a future idea, I've heard spiral flute flush cutters are the way to go for that, but a little pricier than normal bits

    Really useful tips and info! For a few seconds there I thought the 3rd bit was gonna be the winner for me, but I have to say, I'd still prefer to predrill and use a bit with a bearing 😋 But would be very interested to see another such video with a better quality bit without bearing.

    If ever you have watched any Matt bangs wood videos, you will have seen him use this method of cutting out window and door frames, with a half inch shank router on very large builds. Worth a visit.

    I've tried a few of the cheap weird brand router bits from amazon, and all of them I've had the bearings fail really quickly! I bought a pack of 4 that looked very similar to the ones you had. I was cutting ply lining for a van, and didn't even manage to do one full panel before all 4 bearings had fallen apart

      I find some UA-camr’s volume low (Samurai Carpenter springs to mind) but I have no issues with this channel. Maybe worth getting some headphones. Laptops often don’t have a great speakers. Also maybe you’ve turned the laptop volume up but make sure the volume is turned up in the UA-cam controls too.

    Hi, I did the same when I boarded out a garage including the door. I don’t think I would do it any other way unless perhaps a roughing cut with a jigsaw or recip saw before tidying up up with a router. It was murder on the blades though. I think the glue in the OSB probably didn’t help. I also started with a smaller router and didn’t like how the motor strained so moved to the big boy router which had no problems at all.

  • @Duaneoca
    @Duaneoca 2 роки тому +1

    I’m thinking that a part of the reason that 1/2” bit is working well is that it’s got the additional horsepower of the bigger router behind it. That bit in 1/4” or 3/8” size would likely bog down.

    Did you try going anticlockwise. Not so important for slot cuts but going in the same direction as the cutter rotation normally produces a better cut.

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  2 роки тому +1

      I did both but everyone I’ve seen does clockwise. No sure it made much difference in speed. Always a debate when it’s a slot rather than trim/edge. 😀

      @@TheRestorationCouple I think the way you did it would tend to push the bit towards the outer frame - which is what you want in this case.

    That plunge point router bit is best suited to drywall and of course, small numbers of plywood/OSB openings I think.

  • @tmmtmm
    @tmmtmm 2 роки тому

    A quality 1/2" bit on the corded router will make all the difference. Avoid the cheap ones because the cutters are usually poorly aligned so one cutter does all the work leading to excessive heat and vibrations. I've never had much luck with 1/4" bits. They fatigue and snap.

  • @SamHughes89
    @SamHughes89 2 роки тому +1

    Tim your cutting OSB and not a finish wood like pine or oak, so using a larger bit which is designed to spin at a slower speed but peel more material cleaner, is completely different to how the Americans like to cut out their windows with really rough, small bits which can just nicely rip their way through on battery tools no less. Comparable problem to using a fine tool saw blade in a track saw for ripping instead of a larger tooth blade.

  • @robgullen
    @robgullen 2 роки тому

    I was surprised that the small router bits did as well as they did given that OSB is pretty solid stuff with the masses of glue used to make it - I'd have gone for probably an 8 or 10mm bearing cutter in a 1/2 router.

  • @tonyjover
    @tonyjover 2 роки тому

    I think that little yellow bit without a bearing would be better suited to doing the same job but with plasterboard as opposed to OSB. OSB is way too hard for it.

  • @gingerelvis
    @gingerelvis 2 роки тому +1

    I think would have just gone at it with a hand saw from the outside running along the stud. Make an opening for the blade in the corners with a multitool or a router. Not fun in this heat but probably quicker and definitely quieter and less vibration on the hands.

  • @dannymurphy1779
    @dannymurphy1779 2 роки тому

    It does seem rather alarming you had a router bit sheer off, you have put me off using routers even more! You are clearly very good with it though Tim. However you were yanking the extension chord at one point, previously others noted you were using the mitre saw and circular saw in a bit of a dodgy way. I am not meaning to snipe but building is dangerous, Roger Bisby of Skillbuilder had an accident quite recently, be careful not to get over confident when using power tools.
