I work with very expensive veneers. I use the techniques in this video but I like to also lightly dampen the wood and give it a little time to soften the wood. I then set up a straight edge and use a utility knife to lightly score the veneer before running my router bit on it. This has helped me many times with veneers that tend to have, "Micro" tear out as well as the larger damage as seen here.
Fantastic advice Keelan!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! 👍
What a clever idea, I am trying to use a diy box joint jig to make plywood drawers and will apply all your ideas to minimise breakout. I particularly like the idea of scribing the wood
Thank you for the very genuine information and guidance. Appreciate your all videos. Only an expert and down to earth person like you can share such a insightful information. God bless you 🎊💐👏👏
Thank you.. and God bless you too my friend!
As usual, very nice informative video. Thank you.
Thanks, good information....I'm relatively new to wood working...this is very helpful.
You are amazing!!! Ive learned more from you since last night than in the year I’ve been teaching myself how to do woodwork 😮
That is awesome! I'm happy for you!
A very valuable message for new and old woodworkers alike. Nice recap when you don't use plywood every day. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the tips. I was having bad tearing issues with routing a channel in cherry plywood. I was trying to do a deep channel in one pass and it was ruining my surface. So based on your suggestions, I did more shallow channel passes while doing a climb cut. It worked great!
This was great! Very well presented and explained, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always and awesome tips. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Very informative as always.. keep sharing bro.
Great video. Thanks for all you do
Excellent video!
So glad I found your channel, God send , thanks for all your info, invaluable,
Amen and praise God!
Thanks for the tips. I have been struggling with tearout on some plywood & tried everything from painter's tape to swearing & cursing! Neither worked, but now I can try the Climb Cut after watching your video. Who knew you couldcut that way? Only your video has shown me how to do it, so thank you. It was very timely for my project.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the video.
Genius! Thank you!
finally, I find this solution for trimming plywood edge after so many search. going to try tomorrow.
Please let me know how it goes.
I recently put a project on hold because of such a challenge. Now I can start thinking about it in a more positive way! Many thanks!
Wonderful!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy - Indeed… That was also my excuse to get a rabet plane!
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, very helpful, thanks so much 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching Eddie!
Thank you for the tip.
No problem!
Well explained! Your tip will help me immensely. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
@@TrainingHandsAcademy You're very welcome.
Great advice.. Thanks 😎👍
You bet!
Fantastic explanation
Glad you liked it Anil. :)
Got myself a pencil router...gonna practice these techniques before I go to a full size router...thanks for tutorial 👍👍👍
My pleasure Justin... have fun!
Good explanation, would yoi teach us how to make moldings. Thanks!
Thanks for the videos. I wonder if you can show how to make a rabbet cut on the inside to inset my stove without having the wide corners like a 1/2” to 1/4” corner
Cool dude
😎👍
I’d love a simple diagram of your shop layout. I’m trying to design a shop for myself to use for the company I work for. Thanks
Also, don't use dull cheap bits. There's a massive difference in sharpness, and therefore amount of tearout, between a $4 bit and a $40 bit. I've also found covering the wood surface with painter's tape helps reduce tearout a little.
Thank you, just learning
Wow, just had the flush bit disappear completely from the router! Scary, found it in the garden but never saw a thing!? Obviously not tight enough even thou I used spanner’
Wow! BTDT
Happy Easter. Thanks for the video. I just read your reply that you are in Nvl. I'm in M'boro. Wood shop seemed like too much work in HS, but I would like to learn now. Do you happen to give classes, or know any adult classes in Mid-TN?
Happy Easter!! Yes, I'll have online classes coming soon. The only local place I know of to take physical classes is at the Woodcraft store in Franklin.
Hi. Great video as always - I'v elearnt a lot! One thing I am struggling with is getting around corners when, say making a rabbit on a lid or a base for a box. My bit invariably takes off the corner rather than cutting straight. I'm thinking I may need to use a sacrificial piece to prevent this; or is my technique rubbish? I know it's been a while since this vid was posted, but I would appreciate any assistance.
Could be technique... but using a sacrificial piece is a great idea. I do have a routers course that walks through so much about router technique... there might be something in there that helps. Practice on some scrap wood and adjust a few things... maybe direction of feed, maybe the amount you take off, maybe router bit speed? Try and few things and let me know what works. Here is the course if you want to check it out. bit.ly/3DcIeE3
Great video my friend. I'm cutting a rectangular hole in 1/2 birch ply. I was told to "score the rectangular hole to be routed" and also go in a clockwise direction. Do you agree? Thanks, Steve in FL
Hey Steve! I never score... but it will help with tear-out. Yes, clockwise. If you want to learn more about routers, I do have an online course. You can check it out here. bit.ly/3ytpf4V
Is there a router type that you recommend for someone who is a beginner to get comfortable with routing? ie plunge vs fixed? Is one easier to learn maneuvering around the stock with?
Hey there! I started with a smaller fixed based router like this one. amzn.to/3geJaw0 Smaller routers (fixed or plunge) in my opinion are easier to start with... less weight is less intimidating. Hope that helps.
I would like to use a router to plunge cut a mortise into veneer plywood. What would be the proper method and can I still use the climb technique to minimize tear out?
Check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/Im-Gv_bQ4AM/v-deo.html
What kind of bit should I use for plywood? To flush trim
The one in this video works great. ua-cam.com/video/FZ2Ia0EFYRk/v-deo.html
what about how to avoid tear out making box joints?
I'm thinking I should do the push cuts for now... to be safe. Gill (Just signing off with Gill cause that channel I'm signed into is called something else lol)
Ano way to prevent tears in plywood - especially exp ones - is to use a utility knife and a straight edge to "mark" (shallow cut) the cut line first.
How do you prevent tear out on a the end of a curved piece of black walnut?
Hello. What type of cut are you doing? What bit?
I have a question, how do I avoid this by doing notch cuts?
Hey Jesse! Can you give more details of what you are looking to do? Find me on Instagram if you'd like to send me photos or a video.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy I am not a very good wood worker, but i am trying to make a couple notch cuts. I think it is called finger notches, but when I put them onto the router. They tend to tear out and look awful. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I will try to send pictures on IG
Where to start router on square piece of wood?
Fantastic question! I recommend starting on the ends (end grain) first, and then move to the sides (long grain). Always remember to rout in a counterclockwise direction around the outside edges of a piece of wood. If your interested, I do have a beginners hand-held routers course coming out soon. If you want to be notified when it launches check out this link --> bit.ly/2I8vT9k
climb cut is what is used in the cnc milling, so why wouldn't it be possible in wood working?
It is possible, just not recommended in most cases. Metal is metal and wood is wood, this is the reason.
Metal and wood have difference reaction to cutting forces that is why in my 2c opinion 😁😁😁
With CNC milling everything is locked down. Using a router the concern is having the router pull away from you.
Hi where you are located I am from INDIA
Nashville, TN
i just started, yah i trouble tearing out on the corner lol

lay plywood flat rotate your router 90 degrees to where the base plate is on the plywood will stop almost all your blowout problems a short back toward you at the end before you complete the route will stop all of that
How to reduce router noise? That thing can scream.
I know right... ear protection is the only way. :)
Using the router on the flat surface is not the way to go with plywood, or any veneer. You want to rout from the edge instead. And, with solid wood, you can sometimes use the grain of the wood to your advantage, if you lay out the work in the right way, you can rout going with the grain, rather than against it, this will eliminate most tearout. But, of course we all do the climb cuts in the way that is shown.
Thanks Keith for adding your input. :)
