After experiencing what the Flai blades can achieve particularly with respect to finish, and therefore the quality and sharpness of the carbide I was rather interested to see what their router bits could achieve, and I wasn’t disappointed. They don’t have a particularly large range of profiles sadly, but what they have does work particularly [...]

Otherwise known as “The Grand Rabbet” (Probably better known as the “Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh”, but that is another matter). The kit from CMT (sold in Oz by Carbatec) consists of a 2″ rebate bit, and 16 different sized sleeves to produce a wide range of rebates, with a final sleeve with a matching [...]

Crocodile “Stu” Dundee: [chuckles] That’s not a router bit. Crocodile “Stu” Dundee: Now THAT’s a router bit. Bloody heavy thing too, and it seems as real as you’d imagine. Still looking for a router to fit it! Or an adapter collet

Got out to the shed for the first time in ages (been busy with work, family, and the TWC assembly manual), and even that was a small window. Decided to tackle (at least start) a small project that I’ve been meaning to do for ages (since June 2008). Getting my router bits into this cabinet. [...]

Had an interesting revelation tonight about surfacing bits. While Ivan was visiting, having a look over the Torque Workcentre, the discussion turned to surfacing bits. I was thinking the 3 interchangeable flute Carbitool bit had its carbide tips misaligned from use or something – they didn’t sit flat on the table. But when I got [...]

Each of these will be looked at in more detail shortly, and put through their paces. For Tool of the Month, I’m going for the Vac Clamp – another Aussie product. It uses a very simple method for achieving a vacuum – using the venturi effect to draw down a vacuum from between the clamp [...]

The router bit for this month is the Carb-i-tool Multiform Router Bit. As you can see, it is quite a complicated profile, and it almost looks like a combination of a number of different profiles. That is exactly what this router bit is! It is designed to produce a number of different profiles based on [...]

Rosettes are not a feature found on most items, or in most rooms these days, but sometimes they are the ideal feature to set a piece apart. In more elaborate pieces, rosettes are hand-carved, but simpler ones can be machined with a rotary cutter. This bit is dual fluted, tungsten carbide tipped, but it is [...]

I’ve always considered that the real tool when routing is not the table, or the router, but the router bits. It is the bits that make contact with the timber, and as the collection grows, it is the bits that make up the majority of the cost of a router / router table (although it [...]

Unbelievable. Plenty of stuff to look forward to this month I think. In the next day or two, I will be starting a new section on here for “Timber of-the-month” as I start to try to improve my knowledge of all things wooden (or at least get to know some of the range of timbers [...]
