A better way to do kerf bending
Вставка

- I briefly explain hows and whys of using router for kerf bending. And make 2 stands with live edge in process.
One big plus of this approach, I forgot to mention, is ease of calculations. You just get a certain bend angle per groove, regardless of groove depth or part thickness. - Навчання та стиль

I like the tapered bit idea. I think this is my fav. so far. That on top of a few other methods, I think you could make it seamless. Thanks for the idea.
This is a fantastic concept. A slight outward taper towards the "mouth" of the kerf makes so much sense.
Ну наконец то, хоть кто то, юзает конусную фрезу от ЧПУ🎉 а не циркулярку. Самый аккуратный, и почти везшовный метод. Особенно если брать с наконечником 0.25. Автору Респ.
Dude, you're a wizard. Good job! And thanks.
That is such a clever idea - why haven't anybody thought about doing kerf bending that way? Great job - thanks for sharing! 👍
Wow! This is so good, gonna do this method for my VW restoration project, thanks for sharing!
This is a great idea, Ivan! Smart thinking. And thanks for the buying tip (no pun intended)!
Awesome! Seems so obvious now you have explained it!
Ivan you have my thumbs up and im definitely subscribing !!! Looking forward to more great tips .. pun intended 🤣
I wish I have found this video 4 months ago, when I was struggling to search a good concept like this, and didn’t manage to
i really like the angled idea to make the cuts more clean when bent i may try adding some bevels to some saw blades i have and see if i can get the same effect
Cool, let me know if that works. Doesn't the saw cut with it's tip only? On the other hand you could get an even thinner tip, if you have a custom made tool. Would look better
@@ivanmakes957 yea it seems the only way would be with a custom blade since there are no blades with teeth deep enough to do it im thinking of trying your way but using the circular saw with a thinner blade and not cutting as deep so the router bit doesn't have to struggle going through so much material and im pretty sure i can easily use the existing cuts with a jig on the router so i dont have to reset the straight edge for every cut with the router
That's a great idea. Router should folow the groove cut with a circular saw without a jig(maybe not any groove) And it is certainly easier to cut straight line with a saw
Nice! I think for most situations with plywood it won't crack like that.
Outstanding!👍👍👍
Very nice! I have a question. When you glued the wood, it still was wet because steam or you let the wood dry before glue?
Still wet. IDK much about glues, but there's a chance of water based glue having better adhesion/fusion with wet surface
Хорошая идея. Можно почти идеально сделать. Класс.
Amazing
I'ld wish you could provide a link to a bit like that. Im using a 8mm router, and cant find anything like this. I came up with the same idea, that this could make seams almost invicible. The concept is great for high end furniture from plywood.
I've bought mine here frezycnc.in.ua/category/251434/1102675
Mine has R0.5, but I'd buy 0.25 now. Site not optimized for international delivery, but it says they can do it.
Genius!
is there any tips on how to calculate how many cuts and gap distance needed to make certain angle? fo example how many cuts and gap distance needed to make 45 dgree bend.
You can divide tip diameter by your piece thickness, and get arcsine of that value. Add that to your bit angle, and you get angle of each cut. But you'll need to test it on a scrap piece anyway, so it's easier to just measure it on that scrap piece.
But I've just calculated, and this seems to add up. 1 mm tip diameter on 20 mm piece = 0.05 = extra 2.86 degrees = 8 cuts for 95 degrees instead of expected 10 for 90. And those 5 extra degrees spread on each cut are not noticable
And the bit itself has a constant angle, which would get constant angle for 1 cut if the tip was infinetely thin. In my case 9 degrees
👍👍
Hello, thanks for sharing this method.
But where can i find the good 😀😉conic tool please? There s alot of choice on the web
IDK, I bought it from the closest store. The quality is good, but international shipment from them is not straightforward (local was ridiculously fast tho) I don't think I'd bother ordering from them from abroad
What the type of router bit's name? It's hard to find it at hardware shop..
It's a carving bit
@@brubilucoteclado i'm try to search at Shopee and Lazada, I didn't find similar like that carving bit..
Where I bought it, it was just called "cone bit". Some guys on reddit said it's called "tapered endmill" or "tapered ballnose" in US
Yeah, carving. But there's a ton of different carving bits
@@ivanmakes957 thanks for your information.. Got it boss 😁
What does it look like on the cut side ?
Like glued wood. Mine's a little dirty, glue melted when sanding. The gaps get bigger towards the face side, because the bit tip has some width
nice idea... but if there is tapered circular saw blade, it will be great
Of course. Let me know if you find one
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No glue? If not, how is it so strong?
It is glued, obviously. Have I forgotten to mention it?
Hi
While contemplating using a v-groove router bit to do the same, I came across your video. Looks exactly like what I want to do.
I think I'm going to harvest the saw dust to fill in the gaps on the edges for a more seamless look. Thanks for validating my thoughts!
Just fill the gaps with glue/sawdust mix. Cool concept though.
That makes for a weak ugly joint. Fine woodworking is about doing things better.
But he wanted to talk about "a better way." Not the same ol' way.
