Video

I was given one of these today….thanks for sharing the info as trying to find out what it can do and I’d like to think I’ll master it but time will tell…

Your video has been great! I've been making canes on my regular lathe and using rasps to do spirals and thought there had to be something better. Found out about the router crafters then this video and I picked one up yesterday. It's missing a couple of the hex heads and the bushing for template but I don't need to start out. What would you recommend I do to be able to hold 1.25 round spindle at the maximum 36" length? Did you ever fabricate something like that? I saw the extension, but I need the longest length possible so I don't want to extend with a chuck and shaft. Maybe a modified spur drive somehow? Not sure how I'd get it in the 1/2 square hole.

good morning! I can't find the pdf link in vintage machinery, and the a1cfs page is unavailable, could you make the files available?

Great work. Definitely making one of these.

This is a great vid. I got my crafter two or three years ago on an online auction . Just got around to opening it 😂 missing the handle but no big deal. I’m glad I watched this before hooking a drill up to it to drive it back and forth 😂

@5:18 thats a core box bit not a round over bit 😀

Sorry OP! I f you set the watch speed to x2 around the 5:00 mark, it's Much better if one is in a Hurry! Stunning machining BTW!

Labor of love.

Nice work! I may be picking one up today and was wondering what fenders you used?

What is the blade?

11/25/23. 1050 Thanks for making this video. I needed it to make a rounding device for my lathe. Now to start making it.

Fantastic video packed with information. Now to find a machine or build one.

That was awesome

I use to do that to my mustang fox body headers. I did my by hand with a die grinder and Sanding roll. Absolutely gets more flow.

Gorgeous work!

I acquired a Crafter some years ago at a yard sale. Now that I have seen your channel I can make some gifts for family and friends. Thankyou for doing these videos.

Impressive work, very finely tuned craftsmanship. Having tried this machine, JC makes it look easy. ...i ended up doing a lot more sanding than yourself!!,,😉. Thanks for sharing.

Excelen Video, How much does this machine cost ?

This kind of feels like cheating, but I want that so bad haha. What takes you a half hr- hr... It would take me 3 lol

Чистота обработки и сама конструкция - полный отстой. На обычномитокарном станке, с регулируемой подачей, всё можно делать намного аккуратней и быстрее. Зачем надо было мастерить такой геморрой, не понимаю 🤦

I just finished building the handrail on my deck czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z and used this great little router to clean up the top rail before the final sanding and stain. It was light weight but packed lots of power. Either size battery didn't seem to make it top heavy and I'm a 64 yr old women so I really appreciated how easy it was to use...................... CORDLESS only way to go !!

too much bs you also need a lathe ,welding, shaping parts and more.

A dremel would have made that easier. I want to do that and porting my dr 650 too. I want to have more torque

Can you control the spiral length ? I am looking for having 45 degrees rotation of the piece of wood, while the router moves 6inch during this 45 degrees rotation. Is it something that can be done out of the box ? Or do I need to 3d print or machine some parts ? Thx a lot !!

This only works when there is a hole in the sphere.

I bought two such machines thinking that I could get twice as much done, but after using the duplicater part, it's too easy. I'm going to sell the second unit, I saw three others on kijiji, and the prices are through the roof, one in Calgary for $600, and another in Newark for $345, just crazy prices

What bits are you using?

Wow this is a great video

Guau!!!, muchísimas gracias por este vídeo tan sumamente bien explicado!!!. Te escribo desde el sur una isla de España llamada Gran Canaria y aquí es literalmente imposible conseguir el usillo del enrutador Craftsman router Crafter, intenté comprarlo de segunda mano por internet, pero me costaba más de 184$ y el transporte me costaba 259$ a parte de tener que pagar aduana después de llegar a la isla ... total, una locura!!!!. Por eso estoy intentando fabricarme yo uno mirándo este y otros vídeos en youtube, el problema mío es que mi inglés es muy malo y no consigo entender muchas cosas, a parte de la falta de orientación con el diseño y medidas de los soportes de los tubos porque jamás he visto este usillo en persona, pero..... MILLONES DE GRACIAS POR ESTE VÍDEO !!!!. Un gran saludo para ti y JC Torres de un seguidor y admirador desde las Islas Canarias ( España).

You should use a better stain than MinWax.. try General Finishes or Old Masters gel stain on pine.. it will finish so much nicer than MinWax.. shame to put so much time and craftsmanship into something and then finish it with a bad product

Muchas Gracias por todo to our subscribers and viewers for over 400k + views on this informative vid!!!!!

We are so humbled by our views and especially subscribers! Thanks extremely much to all of you subscribing especially asking pertinent questions! Sincerely all at A1CFS

Está en venta te la compro

Awesome video. I had a crafter many years ago and never fully explored its potential. After watching this video, I found one on ebay. It'll be here Monday.

No such link can be found at VintageMachinery can you please supply link

Very nice

Hi, I have a lunkenheimer royal no.1 ,very nice condition and nice glass, could you tell me what the value of this piece is? Thank you

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I didn't know how to use it, so I left it for a long time, but now I can use this great device. Thank you again.

This instruction opens possibilities. Thus far the best on the router crafter I have looked at. The presenter is superb.

This is awesome!!

I had a few of those oilers for so long. Found it in an old warehouse renovation. Wonderful to see it in use!

Bought one some 45+ years ago amazingly I still have it, now that the sands in the hours glass are running out for me it would be nice to pass it on to some one who would really appreciate rather than being passed over and tossed out with the rest of my estate.

Acabo de comprar una máquina igual y QUIERO aprender gracias por esplicar mui bien

la buscare por ebay

Thank you for this video I am glad to watch it and can't wait for the next one

Just amazing video, very well made ando very informative. Congratulations

Wish I could do this. My dad wants a walking stick with a spiral. Probably not the whole thing. Was thinking the middle.

muy bonito el video ?la maquina donde se puede conseguir gracias anticipadas
