Hi Folks
I want to share with you a problem I had with a router bit.
I have a couple of half circle pieces of plywood laminated with formica.
I want to copy their shape onto plywood and then make another pass with a
camfor router bit. I will not need the half circles originals after I am
done.
I used a streight bit with a ball bearing, and the bearing lifted up and I
did not know it was loose.
I screwed the half circle onto the plywood and went to work. The bit tore
into the formica edge and left a gouge on the edge. This was a benifit
for this job but I did not want to do it this way. But since it started
this way, I finished it this way.
The ball bearing lifted up above the original piece of wood and the quarter
inch shaft replaced the ball bearing.
From now on I will check, and I am fortunate that it did not hurt this
job.
John Sherrer.
