Does that router not have different size guide collars, they fit into the base plate then you just need the template with out the bulky additional wood bits
I believe that's a half inch router not that it matters.
Just get the kitchen fitter to counter batten off the end of the unit, then fit the end panel and you can run your cables under the units and up to the void to the patrice….? Fitter can then fit a infill piece to front of unit/end panel…
If you would’ve got a flush cutting bit you could’ve done the actual size
Use the final cut-out version as your template with a top bearing mortise bit in the router ,job done .
Ain't this where you need Robin Clevett
Couldn't you find a longer extension when you screwing those screw. , surely it would have been safer if you were on a step ladder 8ft of the ground
They are both routers. Rooters are pigs rooting around in the dirt. Or a tool that plumbers use to clean out pipes. Roto-rooter.
If only you messaged me about this idea. All you need is a guide bush that attaches to the router. Depending on what one you get and bit you use you can just use double sided tape to stick on a hand cut rectangle of material. It would just need to be thicker than the guide bush. You could make it as a template also but without the hassle of what your trying to do.
Before you router the panel, Stanley the laminate.
Would you not be getting the kitchen fitter to do this? If I was doing a lot of these I could justify spending £250 (£300 inc VAT) not including some sort of extraction. Look forward to see you using it at the kitchen
I can’t believe you have not done it this way up till now
Nick the chippy 👏
Blimey Nick absolutely spot on finish with that jig….. not many people would take that time and effort 👍
Kitchen fitters job, one wrong move and you got new panels to pay for.
Use a trimming cutter, apply a fence to the edge of where you are cutting using double sided tape. Cut the opening, no screw holes in board preserves the finish of the surface.
volume still low mate, have to turn it up for yours, and then down for others… good vid tho
I try to dissuade customers from having sockets in end panels. It's an absolute certainty that one day a child is going to pull a hot fryer or boiling kettle onto itself. If they say go ahead anyway, what can you do?
Sockets in end panels NO. // no matter what the customer wants…./ YOU will have to live with it… when a child is scarred for life…
Should have made the chippy cut it out
You want to be careful of tear out on that end panel. If you want a clean finish then score the finished side as deep as you can with a knife first so as to break that surface, otherwise your router is likely to chip the finished panel to bits. Trial your jig on a melamine sheet before using it on the customers kitchen panel if you want to see what I mean.
I’d also recommend a compression cutting pattern bit which will save you having to make such a huge jig. You can just screw your wooden batons around the outside of the back box.
Have you ever seen a multi tool
Thanks for all the fun videos Nick, happy new year to you and yours!
A wee tip, buy a guided bit (one with bearings) or guide bush, will make using and probably making jigs easier and less chance of accidentally going too far and or buy a laser cutter or wood CNC like the ooznest workbee to make the jigs. Also you should check out the bench dogs router base, not sure it fits the 1/2" but they do Milwaukee bases either way. Recently bought the 1/4" for my work to use for hinge jigs when replacing doors or making jigs for other stuff
jigsaw/multitool the bugger out
