A couple of things... - Article for this video: jayscustomcreations.com/2018/01/cabinet-doors-from-router-bits/ - This is the bit set I used: amzn.to/2CAoXdF - Link to the router lift build video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIjcgKahd9Wtlc0 - When using the raised panel bit the dust collection wasn't as effective. I'm not sure if that's because the large amount of material being removed, the feed rate, the sliding fence pieces, or if I need to block off the extra air space next to the router. Either way, it's the only bit I've used in the setup where dust collection was not almost 100% effective. - Have a great day.

When I glue up raised panel doors like this, I like to put one coat of finish on the panel by itself before assembly. It allows the panel to move a little more smoothly with expansion and contraction, as well as not leave the “finish line” exposing bare wood with movement. It also makes it a little easier to clean up the glue, not having to work so hard getting all the “nooks and crannies” cleaned out. Loved this vid, great explanations all the way around Jay.

Absolutely Awesome Jay! I'm 62, retired, and in the process of gutting a cheap Delta shaper table and adding a router lift for a Porter Cable 7519.

I used to train in another mechanical field and would have hired you in a heartbeat for your excellent organization, engineering and training skills! Thanks so much for sharing your time and inspiring us!

Glad to have watched this. I have just bought a set of six cutters and three of them are for the doors on cabinets similar to what you machined. The other cutters are a drawer lock joint, a cutter to make a glue joint for the panel and another for a door lip. Your test backer glued up door is a must for these big cutters, so thank you for sharing I will be using your method.

Jay. I have watched many KZbin videos on this same subject of making a cabinet door. This is by far the best one that I have seen. It was clearly explained ( even when you made a misstatement, it was corrected) in both your math as well as the set up and process in the cutting of the parts. Thank you for doing a great job.... again.

Jay, I am half way though a 25 door re-do of my kitchen using a cheap bit set from Amazon and your router lift xl. It has been so darn nice to have the lift. Ease of bit change, adjustment, and dust collection has made the job so fun. My old cabinets belonged in a 1960's camp trailer. Now I have new flat panel shaker doors that look awesome.

Very nicely done and a great explanation. That’s a nice setup if you don’t have stock feeder on a large shaper. We ran so many raised panel doors with a guy I worked for several years back that he dished out the money and bought a stock feeder for his powermatic shaper. It makes it a lots easier and faster, but you just don’t get that feeling of accomplishment with a large shaper and stock feeder. But when you’re making an entire set of cabinets every 1 to 2 weeks for 3 years, it made things a lot easier and mind settling for us.

@HeavyboxesDIYMaster7 жыл бұрын
The details in the video are perfect. I like to use space balls to keep the panel centered and from moving around. If it stays centered, the edges that the don't have finish or paint won't peek through. The space balls also keep the door from chattering when they open or close, just in case the door shrinks or expands non-uniformly.

Jay, excellent job. If you want to give yourself a treat, cut the raised panel by hand. Yep,use planes (beads & coves) to make the profile. Time consuming, frustrating, hard work, BUT of all the cabinets I've built, the two I'm most proud of have hand cut raised panels.

Thanks for going back in time for a "bit" (no pun intended). I've followed you since all you built was 2 by with pocket holes (loved the synced music and driving screws). Anyways, the coping/push block is great. Besides preventing tear out and getting blood on your router table, you get a setup block for future projects and if the edge gets too badly chewed up, just run it through the table saw and good as new. All without spending hundreds at Rockler. Thanks.

Nice job, personally I prefer the Sommerfeld tools matched cabinet making router bits, set one bit and all the others are set too...no messing around with moving the router up or down. I would recommend using a width or 2 1/2 inches for your stile and rails, that size scales nicely (looks very pleasing on any size door) but more importantly leaves plenty of meat for pocket hinges and other cabinet hardware.

This is the first set I am making and I am fairly pleased with the progress. Any way, reason I am writing is to suggest that you could mount a ruler on the side of your router extension, behind the raise/lower bar and add a pointer, if for no other reason then to be very repeatable. Just a thought.

From my experience in Mississippi, we don't have much seasonal expansion and contraction. It's pretty humid all year so I haven't noticed much on previous projects.
