Post: RE: Best tool to cut plexiglass
If the stock (http://patwarner.com/machining_plastics.html) is to be shaped/sized after the rough cut, I'd band saw it. Then screw or clamp it to the the sizer/template and rout it with a new carbi...

Might be that a precise & flat base plate (http://patwarner.com/aluminum_base_plates.html) will facilitate routing the pockets (given, they're rectangles). A round plate's diameter is rarely centered...

Post: RE: DeWalt 621 Plunge Router - Still Golden?
They've compromised some, (621). (http://www.patwarner.com/dw621.html) The plunge spring K is way over what it should be. And the plunge glide is less than what it used to be. And, of course it's con...

Post: RE: Router setup for rabbit question
I'd use a short 7/8 CD cutter. Set fence for 3/4". And I'd climb cut. (Practice on scrap).

Post: RE: Drilling screw holes for a JB101 hinge
Good hinges state their specs. If they don't, measure them. (http://www.patwarner.com/measurement_woodworking.html) From those numbers, set up to drill on those centers. Don't use the hinge for a d...

Post: RE: Drilling screw holes for a JB101 hinge
Best to study on scrap. And not use the hinge as a templet. Drill on the centers indicated for the hinge with a new brad point. Then drive the screws home. If it twists their centers may be off! ...

Post: RE: Groove routing question
Moving the fence back means taking new wood from the left of the existing slot, a climb cut. You have to move the fence out (west) for a safe anti-climb cut/

Post: RE: Router bits with Inserts
Big advantage: Cutter life. A superior grade of carbide is used with insert tooling. Does not have to stand the rigors of brazing etc.

Post: RE: Drilling really large holes - how?
Seems like an impossibility. But where in the hell do you get 12" stock? Maybe 6 2" pieces? That could be done. And then pin register and glue or screw the stack.

Why not just tap the thing? (http://patwarner.com/images/tsweb4767.jpg) The pull strength of a no. 10-24 machine screw, 1" into side grain of dry maple, is >500 pounds.

Not a problem to rout aluminum. (http://patwarner.com/images/tswebb4759.jpg) Not necessarily cutter dependent. Nor does it require a lube. Rather, it is highly technique sensitive. Would not try wit...

Post: RE: Cupped Raised Panel Question
Panel cup probably from inaccurate jointing and/or no stickering. Panel should be assembled on a flat frame that won't bend. I'd cut the panels thinner, 9/16 - 5/8. A 1/32 on your 3/4 panel is not ...
