What should I use on mdf making joint boxes on a router table?

Great video! I bought a bit using your code to help me with SOSS hinge installation.

awesome video. great info 4 a beginner novice woodworker dude.
how about making box joint with spiral bit?

Really Great. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤

Excellent content. Very informative

Hope somebody can answer this. Used an upcut bit on my router table. Tried to remove 1¾ inch of material. It yanked the pc right out of my hands and threw it across the room. Am i trying to remove too much? I quit because it scared the hell out of me!

Hi. I find your information on these bits great. I do a lot of template routing and dadoes. Which bits would you recommend?

If you reverse your motor, does a down cut become an up cut bit?

That slomo is beautiful!!!

Good video Jonathan. What router bit would you recommend for box joints on the router table?

You're review is amazing 👍👍

AHORA YA SE PARA QUE SIRVE
GRACIAS

Great video. The discount code is for a 10% discount. I'm happy for the 10%, but wanted you to know. Cheers!

I make these lol

which bit should I use to dig a 3/8 deep hole 3/8 diameter

Good intel, much appreciated.

Excellent video, thanks!!!

Is there any video on setting up a router fence? For the life of me, I can understand why it wouldn’t move or lock in parallel like the rip fence on a table saw. Why do both ends move freely?

Just getting into shaped objects inlay work and inlay banding projects. My brother is also interested but would rather I make all the mistakes first to educate him properly. Ha. This video is priceless for getting new woodworkers up to speed on the performance of various bits. Shared video with a number of friends. Thanks!

What bit is the best for box joint in 1/2 birch plywood ?

I'm attempting something very specific... can these bits go completely through a work piece ( say ¾" cedar) and then move the bit through the work piece in a freehand design(specifically a spiral) ... i have a plunge router and a router table so i could use either.... i can send you an image of what I'm attempting...

Can you touch on the RPM's based on the different bits

By far one of the most useful videos on this topic. Seeing what the bits are doing really makes an enormous difference for understanding what is being described. Thanks!!

I'd like to see you sharpen them bits, the straight but can be sharpened over and over and over

I don't think there's another woodworking channel that is able to educate so well on woodworking.

Cutting plastic is becoming such a big part of a woodworkers hobby, I sure was hoping you would included a O-flute upcut and downcut bit to show how it cuts through 1/2" acrylic, HDPE or polycarbonate. This would be a great video for you to make because not many are well versed on the newest O-flute bits and not many show how to cut through plastics with such bits. In fact, I haven't found any videos on this subject. Right now I will just have to rely on Whiteside's recommendation of their RU1601A. Also, another subject, which is the best diameter to use for through cuts on woods or plastics 1/8 or 1/4? Thanks,

Hi, can I use a upcut, spiral bit, with a bearing to cut Lifeproof laminate flooring (special project countertop...)? Thank you for the excellent video and information.

Great video!! Very helpful and simple!

Great video! Thank you!

I have one each of downcut and upcut. Don't have the case for them anymore. How do I tell the difference.

Hello, which is the most suitable to use in an inverted router?

Do the Astra Coated bits "last forever" because they pay you to say that or does it really make a difference? How about a video on that? You did it with sandpaper....how about the Astra bits you advertise for?

Probably one of the best videos I’ve watched on woodworking. And he is a gifted communicator and teacher.

great video. would you use a spiral bit for trimming laminate?

Are there any other good companies for these types of bits? Jonathan referenced that these bits cost around $20 when the video came out but now they are more than $80.

Great video, lots of amazing info... If I'm using a guide bushing with a template, what bit is best to remove material in the inside of the original template cut?

Hey Jon! Thank you so much for all you’ve taught us and the amazing footage. This video is new to me but you said there’s a video of you checking the temp of the bits using infrared technology. I cannot find that video. Did you ever have the chance to make it?

You are a great teacher. All the info is presented concisely and clearly. You engage the viewer without being patronising. There's a touch of humour to keep the mood light.
The high speed camera work is good, too - it perfectly illustrates the point you are making. I can't imagine how the topic could have been better explained.

What about when cutting using a template? compression flush trim?

Super helpful video, thank you. Answered all the questions I had.

תודה רבה , למדתי הרבה מאוד

So in terms of compression bits, a 1/4 bit is going to be a benefit for a shallower cut because the meeting of the upcut/downcut happens at 1/4 inch deep instead of 5/8ths. Just paying attention if there is a quiz at the end….

What's upcut, dog?

Very thorough and the slow-motion video was super helpful. Thank you.

Great videographer and quantifiable information that has helped me
