Thanks Garrett Another great video on round overs bits. This would make better use of my time by using theses bits rather than on the router table. You made using the bits easy and instructions were right on
Ralph, you're so welcome brother! You're absolutely right, the round over bit can definitely save you some major time with your projects. Happy cncing!
@IDCWoodcraft Coming back for a refresher. I'll be adding beading to future projects... these videos aren't one time resources - they sort of grow as we grow. Hard to believe I'm almost three years into my journey - I keep growing with experience and through you and your videos.... new AND old!
Awesome video. There are times I want to use a roundover on the CNC, but for the most part, I find it far faster to do it manually with a trim router, which I can do in the time it takes me to change bits and set the Z.
oldNavyJZ, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You're right; sometimes a trim router can be much quicker for those roundovers, especially when you're looking for efficiency.
Another great video, Garrett. I was familiar with roundover bits, but I learned a few new things. Also answered a question I was wondering about, which was using router bits with bearings. Thank you!
Awesome info, yet again! I found I was getting excessive tearout from my pointed roundover bits. I ended up slowing the feed rate, and making several shallow passes. It did help some, but it's far from perfect, and fairly slow going.
spunkybrewster1972, I'm glad you found the info helpful! Slowing down and making multiple shallow passes can definitely reduce tearout, but it's great that you're experimenting to find what works best for your setup. Have you tried using a climb-cutting technique or a different type of bit? Sometimes switching to a compression bit can also offer cleaner edges. Keep at it, and you'll find the perfect solution!
Hi Garrett, do you have a tutorial on how you created the gear style for the clock face? As with all your info a great explanations. Keep up the good work, looking forward to Wednesday with Kyle.
eddiejones4708, Hey! I'm glad you enjoyed the content. Unfortunately, I don't have a tutorial for the gear style clock face at the moment. Kyle and I have some exciting projects planned, so stay tuned!
Great informative videos! Thank you! What's the best way to eliminate witness marks when routering HDPE is it the same idea as changing to a shallow last pass depth? Using an o flute up cut bit. Thanks in advance
KaseyLarson, great question! To minimize witness marks when routing HDPE with an O flute upcut bit, a shallow last pass is effective. Additionally, ensure your bit is sharp, your machine is stable, and the feed rate and spindle speed are correctly set to prevent the plastic from melting. A consistent cooling method to keep the material cool can also help achieve a smoother finish.
Garrett, great video on the round over bits. Question did you cut through the material with a profile Toolpath prior to using the roundover? If yes, what kept the material in place? Tabs, Instant Glue?
JS111952, I sure did use a profile toolpath to cut it out prior to using the roundover brother! For this project I used the painters tape and super glue method.
Great video. Which I would have seen it earlier cause I have a question... If the radius is the same as your stock thickness, can you use it to cut out your piece at the same time?
JavierDeJesusSr, you sure can brother but for the cleanest cut and longest life for your bit I suggest you use a seperate profile toolpath to cut out your project first.
Very nice video, thank you. I haven't tried this yet but suspect that any unevenness in the CNC bed will cause noticeable issues when using these round over bits? Also, very much looking forward to the day America adopts the metric system 😅
craigmc2223, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Unevenness in the CNC bed can definitely affect the quality of the cut, especially with roundover bits, so it's great to make sure everything's level before starting. And adopting the metric system would certainly simplify things for many woodworkers!
Nice I just bought both round over bits when I got the badger and wondering how to use them, now I don't have to experiment as much. I was going to ask With the bead - do you need to run the round over tool path first or can you run it as one but I see you already answered that question below - Yes Multiple passes
Brother, this one really depends on the wood, grain, and specific project you're working on. In some instances yes, but its a little tricky to walk you through over comments. I recommend joining Kate and I for our weekly live sessions we host every Wednesday at 8PM EST and we should be able to give you some tips!
I have not zeroed from the machine surface before. When doing so, do you set the material depth at its actual distance or add a bit? AND when using the rounding bit in this context, and considering the cutting depth for the roundover bit is critical, causing the appearance to vary with small changes, do problems show up if you are cutting stock with slightly different thickness... or How critical is consistent stock thickness when zeroing off of the machine bed and using form tools like the roundover bit?
PaulSchuster-yj4zb, great question brother! Zeroing from the machine bed can be super useful, especially when your material isn't uniform. You measure the material thickness, tell your software, and you’re good to go. This way, even if there's a little inconsistency in your stock thickness, it won’t mess with your cut depth as much because your starting point remains the same. With a roundover bit, getting that cutting depth just right does matter a lot for that perfect edge. If your material thickness varies and you're zeroing from the bed, you might see some differences in the profile. But if your pieces are pretty close in thickness, it should all work out okay. If you’re really looking for precision or your stock varies a lot, zeroing from the top might be the way to go for each piece, particularly when you're aiming for a flawless roundover finish. It's a bit more work, but hey, it can give you that consistency. Hope this helps, and if there’s anything else you’re scratching your head over, just holler. Always here to help out!
billholt5573, The muscle chuck is currently not for sale. Some CNCers were having problems with them and I want to make sure the product is perfect before releasing it again brother!
Hi Garret, great vid as usual. One question about using a round over. If you have a finished project eg a cutting board and you wanted to round over the edges, is it possible to measure so accurately that you can achieve a consistent round over? John
Garret one further question. Is it advised to protect the edges of an end grain board in case of chip out and if so, how? What settings would you advise eg feed rates etc? John
it seems to me that I could put a round over bit in and use the 1/4 inch endmill tool selection as long as you are cutting on the line and remember to set your depth of cut for the roundover bit. The simulation would be different but how would the machine know the difference. Also can the muscle chuck be used in a 3 hp spindle. Thanks
JamesLinger-wl8sq, that would be a great call for a setup brother! As for the muscle chuck, not yet Ive been working directly with muscule chuck to provide more options for spindles in the future. Ill keep you in the loop!
bubba6945, That's a great approach! Adjusting the offset helps achieve a cleaner finish by compensating for the slight imperfections left by the round over bit. It’s always interesting to hear how other woodworkers tackle similar challenges. Happy machining!
sinsofvorador, not yet brother! I have been working with muscle chuck directly to develop something like this for your ER11 collet. Ill keep you in the loop!
I am posting this here because this channel seems to be very knowledgeable in the field. I want to punch very precise multiple holes (0.5 - 1mm diameter) on a sheet of substrate (similar to PCB but softer rubber like) reproducibly using a cheap chinese CNC machine. The sheet is already marked with circles where the holes should be made. I am aware that the XY 00 can be set every time i place a substrate workpiece on the bed. However, the substrate overall dimensions are not always accurate and therefore, there will always be some rotational misalignment of the entire layout each time i place a new substrate. I am wondering if there is any way of manually providing the software 2 or more reference points across the substrate (e.g. one at xy=00 and others at the far end of the substrate and the layout) so it knows the angle of rotation and maintains the alignment and hole locations precisely within the circles on the substrate matched with the CAD drawing? The second part of my question is whether i can connect an automatic center punch (with a hole pin instead of a solid punch pin) instead of a drill and tell the machine to simply lower down where holes need to be made. Then move up, go to the next position and lower again and so on.
SA-wp4vt, This one is a little tricky to walk you through over comments my friend. I recommend joining Kate and I for our live sessions we host every Wednesday evening at 8PM EST. We should be able to help walk you through it then brother!
cablsurfin, Excellent question brother! It all depends what you're trying to do with the cut. A V bit would be able to make the same cut, but the edge would be straight. I was looking to get a gentle curve in the Ying Yang design. That's why I chose to cut with the IDC 1/8 Round Over bit.
timothyburchfield2220, We've discontinued the Muscle Chuck due to changes in our product line. Our current focus is on providing the best woodworking tools and accessories for our customers. Thank you for your understanding.
@@IDCWoodcraft I understand. But, perhaps you should remove the reference to the Muscle Chuck from the video so others do not go on fruitless searches like I did. BTW, excellent video otherwise.
Not yet! I have been working with muscle chuck to provide more options for machines like yours so thanks for your feedback on that one. Ill keep you in the loop!
Sometimes it feels like magic brother. If I understand your question, you're asking why I used the 1/4 inch round over on about 3/4 inch material. The 1/4 inch refers to the cutting radius of the bit, not the bit length. I was looking to get about a 1/4 inch radius on this project in addition to the Bead cut. To Accomplish this I used the IDC 1/4 Round over bit for the curved edge. At the end of the video I show that extra little line on the project that you can sand off, that line is where the tip of the bit stops. That line shows where the bit stopped being able to cut. Hope that helps!
You did not understand my question. It appears on the video that the ¼ inch roundover bit, when used to create the upper 1/8-inch step, is cutting through a ¾ inch material. That is not possible. I have used roundover bits for many years on a router table to achieve an similar appearance, such as on the edge of a dining table. I feel that a second cut with any vertical bit would be necessary to complete the separation of the pattern form the stock. It appears to me that you used MDF for the video, I assume for ease of demonstration. I only am working in hard woods; therefore, I believe your presentation is either incomplete or disingenuous for folks new to woodworking. I do not intend any disrespect for your bit. I have used it and it delivers the expected round edge. I am now trying to perfect the so-called bull-nose with your bit on the Longmmill. Respectfully, John Garnett
Garrett mentioned that he is doing the cutout first and just shows a quick video if that process as it was NOT related to the roundover bit toolpath. He used a strait bit and you can see it briefly after he mentions that he was not going to show the cutout process in detail. You are correct that a roundover bit is not the correct bit to use for a cutout, but please remember that Garrett is professional and is well aware of this. There is no need to leap to conclusions and accuse him of being "disingenuous" when the video shows that a strait bit was used. @@JOHNGARNETT-r2z
