Yes, that is their air base and it make the router slide right across the surface with no resistance. The base has tiny holes in it for the air to pass.
Hello, I did have the cove router attached but one of the v-groove routers broke so I had to replace it with the cove router. It does work really nice. You first run your splash to cut a 7/8" v-groove. Then tape it up and run it through. Works way better when you are doing lots of it because the setup is time consuming.
Art us long gone, is Betterly company still around or did Penske purchase it? Remember Tom saying he was talking to them, years ago. Always a great job Andy..
The number one thing I see when people work with solid surfaces is that they are scared of it. they are afraid to get in there and work it. Now, like all materials, you need to take care but these solid surfaces are not that hard to work with and they can produce stunning custom results.
@@AndyGraves No, it was just a thought. I did some solid surface work like 20 years ago . Pretty much did my coves the same way as you, but still remember not loving the process. I thought maybe with some of the advancements in tools there might be a better way and the LS130 peaked my interest with the ability to even make custom profiles. I thought it might do good in straight a way's. I doubt there will ever be a good option for the 3 way corners.
It's not required. In food service it's sometimes required but granite isn't used in food service areas. Hospitals love coved countertops because they are super easy to clean.
@@vicohernandez6244 Oh, I see, that is a router you buy from Betterly Tools. They make them so you don't have to try to make the base. You will also need to get their router bit that has a longer shaft than a standard bit.
It’s lighter cause you routed it too hot, it discolors every time, make light passes in that corner n back out n let cool down, n repeat, it sucks but u will never have inside corners burn white
Sorry about saying something about scribe strip in back, and also sorry if I said anything bad, I’m not here to bash on people, this line of work is limited on UA-cam, just searching to see what’s out there..... veined stuff is the worst n we do at least 5 a week n the edge we rabbet in so it matches the deck.... it’s a pain cause we need a rabbeting bit, I route it down to an 1/8”
Amazing router
Thanks, it works great
A thanks from Brazil! I'm starting to work with solid surface and your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you!
Thank you. So glad they could be of help.
The air nozzle mounted to the router is awesome. Is that part of the betterly router, or is that something you added yourself?
Yes, that is their air base and it make the router slide right across the surface with no resistance. The base has tiny holes in it for the air to pass.
Need more install content like brackets and cleats
Hey Andy, awesome video. Do you happen to have a video of the Monument V-groover running the 3/8" cove cut?

Hello, they are very instructive videos. Where do you buy the drill tool?
Hello, thank you. betterleytools.com/products/coving-router.html
@@AndyGraves Thanks, I'm looking for the tool that comes out at minute 10:35 in the drill
Oh, got it. That is a burr grinding bit. Here is the link - amzn.to/3sGYSmG
have you ever tried to use a festool ls130 to sand the cove?
No but I've tried a cove sander and I feel like it just wears out the sand paper really fast.
Have you tried one with better results?

plus the dust collection would be a welcome addition.

In marble/ granite countertops they don't have any cove. Why is a cove required for solidsurfaces?
It's not required. In food service it's sometimes required but granite isn't used in food service areas. Hospitals love coved countertops because they are super easy to clean.
It's not you can do a but splash like granite also.

What is the name of machine ?
It's a Betterly Cove Router
Betterly coving routet
would like to provide me with how to prepare a base like this to be able to make the sanitary basement on the decks please I hope you can support me
I'm sorry can you please clarify, I'm not sure what you are referring to.
Ok I would like to know or could you tell me how your base for the rauter is to be able to make the sanitary curve of the solid surface cover
@@vicohernandez6244 Oh, I see, that is a router you buy from Betterly Tools. They make them so you don't have to try to make the base. You will also need to get their router bit that has a longer shaft than a standard bit.
Ok thanks for the information greetings
The cove is lighter in color. You can clearly see a color change.
I think it's just the shadow. In person, you can see the cove strip but it is the same color after sanded.
It’s lighter cause you routed it too hot, it discolors every time, make light passes in that corner n back out n let cool down, n repeat, it sucks but u will never have inside corners burn white

I see the idea you are suggesting. The cove strips are all the same color after sanding. I haven't experienced a color issue like you describe.
Oh it's no problem. I learn a lot from the comments. Everyone has ideas and some are better than mine. Plus it's part of posting to UA-cam.
