Using a router to give my kitchen shelves a rounded edge detail

I've got myself a couple of shelves for the kitchen, and I wanted to put a nice rounded edge on them. So here I'm using my Erbauer router with a 12.7mm radius cutter by Trend to put a fancy detail on three edges.
Coming soon - putting them up in the kitchen!

I am just getting started in woodworking and the way you explained how the bit cuts is awesome! Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for.

[@crr2762]

Awesome mate. I have been searching for how to do this same type of profile and you got it. Just what I needed to learn before building a blanket storage and match it with the rest of the bedroom furnitures. Thanks.

[@dorsetdumpling5387]

Just bought myself the same router, and am a complete noob, so everything in this vid was really useful and informative - especially the bit about mounting the work to the workbench!

[@glassman20]

Brilliant video, very well explained and demonstrated, gives me confidence to have a go - practicing on off cuts of course! Many thanks

[@bartisticproductions]

Thank you. I actually couldn't remember how the router sticks to the edge and doesn't channel into the wood. I noticed there was a bearing at the bottom of the router bit. Thank you for your work. Very informative. Cheers.

[@davidsutch2823]

Thank you for the video. I made a butcher block top for my kegerator and have little experience using a router. I didn’t even think about the blade rotation and keeping things moving in the same direction. Watching your video and listening to your tips made this project easy 😀👍.

[@JBTV]

Great to hear, thanks David

[@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353]

Nice video thanks! Keep up the good work!👏

[@roberthatcher2773]

A very enjoyable and informative video, thanks! I want to profile cabinet/wardrobe doors using a tiny 1.6mm Radius Trend round over bit.

[@darrenvictor2648]

loved it, mate! Had to sub)) It's just what and how I needed to know! Very detailed! Cheers!

[@baroneblades5386]

Nice. Any tips about going around the corners without making it jump or leave the edge?

[@amjedmajeed3218]

Thank you, very informative

[@pingman2]

I realize this is an older video but, I wanted to say, great job! It was very informative and I learned several key points from you. Thank You! Now! Young man, you wore your glasses throughout most of the video, UNTIL it came time to use the router!! You need to protect your eyes or you may end up being " Pirate Bailly " wearing a patch over one or both eyes. Ok, I said my piece, lol. Again, great video. Take Care!!

[@JBTV]

Thank you pingman2, promise to wear safety glasses all the time 😛

[@paulwilson6298]

Just got the same router as yourself

[@juliansdiamonds]

Great video, thank you!!!

[@JBTV]

Thank you. Keep a look out for 'how to use a router' should be out on Wednesday!

[@juliansdiamonds]

@@JBTV will do !!!

[@sundayfooty]

If I want to create a round profile on 18mm MDF. Is the 12.7mm cutter suitable or get another blade?

[@arbeworks]

hip hip hurrah! hip hip hurrah! eeiling up! ceiling up! rrah rrah rrah!

[@gannong1]

Thanks

[@rogerd6166]

Just a quick observation Justin. There is, what seems to be a directional arrow on the router base. What does that indicate please mate. Great video by the way.

[@davidmiddis8707]

Great video Justin. I have just bought my first router for exactly these sort of projects, so this was so helpful. A couple of quick questions: Will I have success with my router using plywood - thinking about edging? Do you advise doing more than one pass? If yes, will I have to adjust the depth each time? Many thanks

[@JBTV]

Cool, thanks! Check out my Q&A video, I've answered there. It's out today at 4pm

[@Tony-wt1qv]

Nice job 👍🏻 you should wear ear defenders though.

[@MonkeyDoodleCartel]

Thank you. Sorry about the hole in your ceiling. Your video is very down to earth and I like that. I do have a question. How can I put a radius corner in plexiglas (All four corners.) Can a router do that consistently?? --An American fan of your work!

[@7StrokeRoll]

Use a corner radius template and a straight bit with bearing.

[@davidsutch2823]

Thanks for the video . Fir some reading I don’t

[@wrxs1781]

Would cutting in increments give you a better result, just saying I don't know.

[@gilesyone]

What keeps the line straight, have you a guide set up? Also, looks like you could do with ear protection in that place

[@JBTV]

The router bit has a bearing on it, so all I'm doing is allowing the bearing to run along the edge of the timber.

[@hardworker8030]

Do you know what router bit is used to create the profile on stair treads.

[@JBTV]

Something like this will be used amzn.to/2WvzlQD If using this type of bit in a hand held router then you'll need to set up a guide rail on the piece of work, as this doesn't have a bearing on it. If you have a router bench, then you can just run it through using the fence. Hope this helps.

[@roberthossack286]

good video, what is that slip mat called? and where can i get it plz? ty.

[@JBTV]

[@jblu90]

Hey Justin, how do you ensure the router stays at the same consistant line without some sort of line to follow? Is it just all free hand?

[@JBTV]

Hi Joshua, the router bit has a bearing on the bottom that runs along the edge of the board. Check the link in the description to see a picture of it. 👍

[@derrickyeo4451]

Thanks Joshua, you asked exactly what I was thinking!

[@JBTV]

@@derrickyeo4451 it has a bearing on it to run along the part of the board that isn't being profiled

[@derrickyeo4451]

@@JBTV great! Thanks

[@MrSnookerballs]

should keep your mask on when sanding even though it has a dust bag.

[@neochron572]

Yep. Some kinds of wood dust are known to be carcinogenic

[@C4NTFOOLME]

How do you cut in a straight line without cutting too far into the shelf

[@JBTV]

The cutter has a bearing on it which runs around the edge of the shelf.

[@cesaralmeida7185]

you dont use earing protection ????

[@BumpNrun69]

How about EYES too?

[@kennethiman2691]

Hearing protection!!!

[@TheHouseFilesPDX]

Why didn't you just clamp it to the back end of the bench instead of drilling holes in the middle?

[@johnlock3640]

I've heard good feedback about the Woodglut plans.

[@slamak9897]

My wife have done much better job using router for first time...!

[@lerojasr4816]

A lot of unnecessary talking
