That vid brought a tear to my eyes..... my first trimmer was a makita, it was stolen on a job and I have gone through three more, none as simple and comfy as that one.

John this is a brilliant idea and I have started making one. I have a spare router that I am going to set up semi-permanently. The only problem is that I cannot source a long enough ¼" flush trim cutter, the longest (in the UK) seem to be about 32mm. So I am trying it without the second fence and using the pivoting part as the fence. I have put an extra lock / clamp on it and it seems to work ok. Thanks for the realistic videos. Geoff

It would be an awkward operation on a router table, especially for larger panels. This is more of a very specific tool that is best suited for edge banding and has the adjustability needed for very close cuts.

Dust collection can add quite a bit of complexity to a project but is certainly worth the effort. For something like this, that mostly spits out chips, I would just clean up afterwards, if it is a small run. Otherwise, a 2-1/2" hose could be attached to collect the chips just above the cutter - this should be very effective.
@JohnHeisz12 жыл бұрын
For the sake of simplicity, I went with the cam. The cam pre-lifts the arm to the approximate height, so that when the work is pushed through, it doesn't take much effort to push it. This also reduces wear at the pivot point, as the range of motion is reduced. A more elaborate machine could have a larger roller in place of the cam, in the place you suggest - this would make it fully self adjusting.

That's what I thought. Thanks for making that clear. That feature and the use of a trim bit on the opposite side of the table is what makes this unit so good.
@JohnHeisz12 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I don't think I can claim "invention" on this - there are probably very similar machines available to do this, but in a large production version, for cabinet making shops.
@arkledun11 жыл бұрын
This is an excellent idea. I think that the reason for the edge banding sometimes not to be perfectly flashed could be that, if you have banding on both (opposite) sides of the board at the same time, the unrouted banding that is away from the router will lift the board causing the side at the router to be slanted downwards.and the edge away from the cutter. Once both sides are trimmed, a second pass should correct the problem. Thanks for sharing John.

Wouldn't it be easier to edge band one side, trim if off, then to edge the other side.
@tomwags423810 жыл бұрын
OwLoLz I believe what he means is..when you put an edge on one edge of the board, the flash overhangs the top and bottom of that edge. Perhaps a small groove the flash could :"ride in" would eliminate the problem. Lots cheaper then the $50,000 edgebander I had in my shop :) .....

Tom Wags Or just put your panel on top of a secondary flat surface that would run on top of the table, almost like a sled, then the edges would hange over those and not cause it to be unlevel while going through the cutting head.

Tom Wags you mean like the one in this video?
@frameriteairdrie5786 жыл бұрын
Just a simple watch of the video will show that the white platform does not reach all the way to the fence. This leaves a hollow trench that the bottom overhang will ride through, without touching anything.
@JohnHeisz12 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I often take some details for granted - I should have mentioned it in the video. The table is about 3/4" from the fence to allow for the uncut edge of the panel, so that the panel can sit flat on the table. The gap between the fence and table needs to be wider than the thickest edge banding that will be trimmed.
@toddbailey519810 жыл бұрын
Very slick! I''m going to have to try and make one of these. The only thing I might change is the cam. Personally, I find a round disk with an off centre hole easier to make and the pressure is in a straight line between the bolt and the support so it is less likely to slip. Again very well thought out device.

You should design dust collection into your projects! that would take them to the next level
@ksp12788 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the idea. I would like to do similar, but I've just thought of a design change, and was wondering what your thoughts are. Instead of having the router bit riding on top of the wood, could you instead have it below. You could then use a standard straight-bit, rather than a flush trim bit (which will only ever be as accurate as the bearing is to the blade). The platform your workpiece rests on would be adjustable with screws so you can make sure it's perfectly aligned to the router bit. With the router underneath, the thickness of the workpiece you are cutting doesn't matter.
@ksp12788 жыл бұрын
Actually, just thinking, probably easier to adjust the router height rather than making the platform adjustable. But still, I would be interested in your thoughts on having the router underneath the workpiece.

That's awesome! I've never seen anything like it before. Very original. You didn't say anything about it, and the view of it isn't great, but it seems there's a gap w/ a gutter between the table edge and the fence. That's a pretty critical design feature for this tool. Can you elaborate on that a bit? Again, great idea!
@deezynar12 жыл бұрын
To do this on a regular router table or a horizontal router table, you'd need a false fence w/ a gap. See my comment below. That wouldn't be hard to make or put on when you need it. However, this setup he has here is pretty easy to make & doesn't take up much room. He says he does a lot of this type of work so it's worth making one.
@reunioncommittee37265 жыл бұрын
why do you need a cam? why dont you just free play it since the router bit bearing will automatically follow the thickness of the ply. great idea though
@niklasschenck848610 жыл бұрын
Install the router fixed at the same height as the white board and use a router bit without bearing. It can also be done on any sharper or router table. Or simply just buy a lipping planer. Lamello, Hofmann or Virutex.

Rather than the manually adjusted height cam, could the cam be moved to just before the router cutting bit so that as the work was introduced to the router bit the adjustment cam lifted the cutter to the correct height?

Hi John, was just wondering why you would need the cam, as having the bearing on the flush bit would in essence act as a self adjusting cam at the same time.
@oluyemiogunjimi54910 жыл бұрын
I thought so too. The spring pulls the router down and the bearing ensures the cutting distance. The cam actually reduces the adaptability of the system to any size of plywood.
@JohnHeisz10 жыл бұрын
That question was asked before and the answer is in the other comments. Basically, it pre-sets the height.
@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse10 жыл бұрын
The cam relieves stress from the router bit. I imagine that whole setup with the plywood, the mashine itself plus the spring will put quite a bit of shearing forces to the bit. I can't imagine that would be desirable... or healthy... or sane. Using the cam to preset the thickness should help there.
@paul98139 жыл бұрын
Lucio Carrozzo Imagine if there wasn't a cam...as the work piece entered it would bang into the bearing. the cam sets the bearing height so it's just below the work piece surface allowing the bearing to ride up on it easily. the cam should not be making contact during the cutting operation.
