Appreciate you taking the time to show this. It helps when you’re a 62 year old rookie such as myself .
I found this particularly informative because--although I make furniture--my work is a non-traditional style, so I've never used moldings like these. This video may be a catalyst to jump start my thinking toward different design styles.
I’m 63 years old and haven’t done any woodworking since leaving school, but I’ve just done a couple of projects and I’ve made a few mistakes, but I’m really enjoying it and hopefully I’ll get better, thanks for your advice.
Custom moldings can really take your project to the next level!
Thanks for sharing this info Jon! Those are definitely great bits to have. Sometimes I forget what nice molding can be made from them so I'm glad you reminded me!
Watched a lot of your projects. You always made your own molding. I thought how come I don’t do that. Well I do now. Adds such a nice touch. Spot on match for the kinda of wood you are using. Good videos Jon. Thanks
I could watch this guy all day, and I might.
Thanks Russel! That’s really nice to hear!
The best tips on blades are in this video. Thanks for sharing your helpful experiences.
I'll have to pick up one of those cove bits. I can see some cool moulding stackups being made with that one.
Enjoyed Your video on moulding ! And demonstrating the looks of the different bits.
Great video on useful bits John.
My most used are similar, but I don't use a beading bit all the much. In its place would be basic straight bits; I use them a lot for template routing with guide bushings and for things like slots, rabbets and mortises. Straight bits are my most used, followed by flush trim/pattern, then round over, chamfer and cove.
Definitely! The straight bit is must have
Thank you for the great ideas in the video. When I see one of your videos show up in notifications, it is the first one I watch.
Thanks Chuck!
Great video as always Jon.
Brilliant tuition, thank you
Awesome video on Router bits. Thanks!
As always John great stuff. I guess its your "artists eye" but your use of mouldings gives pieces a simple elegnce.
Great video Jon 👍
Really excellent tips, Jon! Thanks! 😃
You know, I used to paint... And lots of my paintings got a broken frame... So I'm going to use your tips to make some!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
Great Video. Very informative!! 👍
Simple work done creatively makes product very beautifully complex
Wow very awesome just started doing little projects and you do such great tutorials
The idea of experimenting is crucial. It just takes a second to mill up some profiles from scrap wood; then you can sit at the bench and play. And meantime, you’ve honed your routing skills.
Great tips. Can you use a 1/4 round over bit to make 1/8 round over cuts (i.e. use 1/2 of the 1/4 bit)? I ask because I am new and plan to get the 1/4 bit and was wandering if I can get two cut options from the one bit. In other words, is it better to get a larger bit and also be able to make smaller size cuts? Also, when do you choose to use the smaller hand held router vs the larger router and 1/4 and 1/2 shank bits?
Thank you and have a great day.
Thanks! you too
nice summary! thanks
If a chamfer bit states "1/2 inch cutting height" that would mean that is the maximum amount cut out/chamfer of the two corner edges, but you have to drop your router bit down far enough to get that amount from the bit?
Great video! I'm not seeing the bead molding bit in the link you provided, am I missing it or perhaps do you have a model number? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the great ideas! Did you manufacture the base cap molding for the blanket/toy chest this way?
Thanks, no I bought that at the home store
9:53 This would make a very decorative backband as well, could be configured different ways.
I could live with pretty much just them... I think, for me, the "bead" would not be critical... gotta try it sometime ! Nice video.
Regarding the bead molding router bit...is the radius (of the cut on the bit) 1/4"? I picked one up and it looks a lot bigger than the one you use in the video. The shank is 1/4". Its the CMT 861.064.11 corner beading bit. Thanks for any help.
How would you make the bead mould on the top side of an arched trim?
Question for the expert (you): Would I be able to se my 1/8" shank Dremel bits, with a 1/4-1/8" adapter, to use with my DeWalt DWP611 palm router?
Please advise, thanks!j
I love CMT Orange bits
Thanks that was a great video My friend 👏
Thanks! I appreciate the comment
What model router do you use for the mouldings?
Now you can see just how great the Kapex is.
How are the circular CMT blades? I was gonna give them a try on the table and miter saws.... shockingly Menards has been carrying more and more of their products!
How can I trim sharp corners off my desk?
Good idea I do that, I have 9 routers each with a different bit and tables

Great tips, thank you for the video. Is that a Milwaukee router? How did you like it?
Thanks, yes I really like it 👍
What are the main differences/ advantages or disadvantages of 1/4” vs 1/2” router bits?
Great question, Joey! Larger 1/2" shank diameter is exponentially stronger than 1/4", so it runs with less vibration and deflects less with the strain of larger profile bits--say anything over ~1" diameter. That said, less raw material costs less to produce, so 1/4" shank bits are less expensive (and perfectly adequate) for smaller profile bits.
@@branchandfoundry560 Thank you
I have a router just needed to watch to learn a few tricks.
Very well
Some may call me crazy for trying this. I use the Dewalt DCW600B trim router. Anyway, I needed a 45 degree chamfer bit at a client’s home. The Freud I bought has a 1-3/4 diameter which did not fit the base plate opening. I installed the bit & lowered the base plate with the bit spinning at full speed. 45 degree chamfer on 27 LF of hard maple later with my palm router, makes for a successful, less frustrating day. Yes, I have a spare base plate for smaller diameter bits 😊.
Wow, Jim, that's a large bit for a palm router! My hat's off to you for having the cajones to try that gutsy maneuver.
@@branchandfoundry560 Thanks Branch & Foundry, I appreciate you and that.
Wow ...Getting router for each router bit can be quit expensive.
It scares me to see you routing without clamping down the work....i wouldn't do it..
