At last someone who knows what they are doing, beutifully done, excellent job..well done,..first class video..
Great vid. Never knew about the height gauge, always just measured it. Will have to get one of those. Thanks heaps.
Glad I watched this, I have one but haven't gotten around to playing with it. Thank You Very Much
Where did you get it from?
Yernando, you can purchase these on our website www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-adjustable-finger-joint-set-506656 Thanks
what is the router speed to be set at? you said you checked it but you didn't say what is should be
Good work learned many things very clearly explained thank you
very nice job, thank you , i learned a lot of your work , it's a very useful bit thank you very much
What if you need to add the extra cutter ring. The centre is then between 2 discs ? I have the cutter but haven't used it yet.
How things are mad find it
im not an expert and I love this joint but it seems like a lot of work adjusting the height from one piece to the other
- Very good, helpful info. Thanx.
Hi, great vid, thanks.
Can you tell me is there a larger one for 50mm timber?
Thanks
Hi Adam I'm afraid this is the only one we stock, for max thickness of 47mm www.axminstertools.com/axcaliber-professional-finger-joint-cutter-head-702469
Thanks for the video but the alignment of the height gauge and the center cutter is unclear (hidden from camera). The cutter is tapered - so are you aligning with the bottom of the thin end or the bottom of the thick end?
Hi, Thank you for your message. I can advise that alignment would be with the bottom of the thick end. If you require any further assistance, please contact our Specialist Technical Team on 0800 371 822. Kind regards, Caroline, Customer Service.
Increasing the glue area isn't really that important. The glue will hold with just edge to edge joint. The biggest problem is alignment. It looks nice at first glance. It's a a little bit on the expensive side.
can't you skip the height gauge and just use the board to adjust the router?
Hi, Yes you can skip the height gauge, this was used in the video to show how it can be done, it depends on your personal preference. Kind regards Tracey Customer Service
Do you set the height gauge? Is the tip of the gauge set in the middle of the center cutter or bottom? Thank you
very useful
Hello, good video. Only this is not a fingerjoint router but a gluejoint router. Fingerjoint tools are used in end grain operations. The confiusion is understandeble because of the conical execution. Best regards.
hello Jason who makes that height gauge,,thanks great video.. j.
Tell me how to buy this finger joint bit...I want this bit for my workshop.
Hi, Please contact Axminster Tools and Machinery who will be able to advise purchasing this set. Kind regards Tracey
What is the rpm of this setup?
I set my Bosch 1617 between 4 and 5 (under 20k rpm I believe) while using this bit on 3/4" pine. Otherwise I'm not getting a clean cut. I would probably go around 3 for 3/4" hardwoods.
Finger joints are for end grain. Running them along the grain like that is weaker than simply gluing a butt joint. You're far better off using a biscuit or loose tenon when joining boards in this situation.
Too much bla bla bla...
