Sink-Insert Cutting Board with Festool OF 2200 router

A counter-space-saving, sink-insert cutting board is made for a friend from reclaimed maple balusters custom fit and routed to insert into the sink. Scott cuts the balusters to size, preps them, and does a glue-up using his R&R Stackable bench clamps. After planing and sanding the cutting board to a smooth finish, it is cut to size and then the shape of the sink lip is routed with a Festool OF2200 router using a template made from melamine. The cutting board travels 3500 kms from Thunder Bay Ontario to Smithers BC - and fits perfectly. Scott's friend will apply a food-safe finish to the cutting board. Tools used for this project (also listed in the video): Festool OF2200 router, Festool OF 1010 router, Festool CT 36 dust extractor, R&R Stackable bench clamps, Festool TID 18 impact driver, Festool MFT/3 table, Festool Clamping Elements, General International band saw, Veritas low-angle smooth plane, and the Hammer K3 Winner cabinet saw.

Nice craftsmanship! I agree those routers are a beast!

What kind of router bit were you using? Looks great and I'd love to make one myself

[@scottearlsmithFTC]

That bit is either a Dimar 101RC8-19 or a 101RCL8-19. www.dimarcanada.com They're nice bits. I find I get more life out of them than Freud bits. Thanks for commenting! Scott
