Very good idea, thank you. I would suggest getting a camera support to avoid the dizzying movement and then you could use 2 hands. I'm pretty sure you'd find it easier. Also the long period of watching and listening to the router could be shortened and made quieter. Just some ideas for you.
Thanks. It's just a simple straight fluted cutter with cutting edges on the bottom/end edges, I think most do. It doesn't matter what size bit, ideally one wider than the edging strip being trimmed.
+Rantz2040 Fair question - you'd have to run the router on the thin edge, maybe with an extension type fence to keep the cutter square to the face, when cutting wide lippings like this, the chance of wobbling & making mistakes is greater, on wide boards standing them on edge isn't always possible, I have many flush trim bits, a flush trim guide designed for this laminate trimmer router but i've found this better, it's hard to get this wrong if it's set up correctly. There's a few other "edge banding jigs" that I'm sure work well but this is a simple board that unscrews, hangs on the wall & is easy to set up again, most of all it works.
I wrote below in the description bit, - I ran the router in the wrong direction to stop the edge breaking & splintering, this way the blade is cutting into the edge rather than shearing the edge away,
Darren Jowett Thanks, I keep the base board on the wall & have used it several times since making this vid, always a good result if the cutter is sharp, it just needs sanding or a light pass with a block plane :)
Good idea, thanks for sharing, (have someone else hold the camera)😊😊😊
Ok next time, i'll have to get someone in tho 😁 thanks 👍

Thanks, I uploaded this 2014, I have a tripod, I now turn the sound down on the machining parts & put more effort into my videos since then
I may be the only one who can't see the bit very well, What type bit are you using? Very cool jig.

Thanks, Gid!
Excellent. I think I will do this! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I hope it worked for you,
why not use a flush trim bit?

i think the router direction is false, as the router bit is swing clockwise so it should push rather than pull it toward our body in this position

Youu are good. Thanks for the "lesson".
Thanks, You're welcome
the video and ad did not play atall.
Don't know what to say, it plays for me, i did have to click on the screen to activate play even tho autoplay is on
Looks good but why no explanations or commentary?
Thanks Neil,👍 Sorry this was back in the time of silent movies 🙊
Brill.

Beautiful jig. Marginal camerawork.
Thanks 👍
Yeah sorry my camera operator was off that day so had to do it one handed with my phone
