Whats In Store -T- The Many Routes to Great Routing Freud's new Premium Rail and Stile Bit Set Making boxes instead of doors? Rockier Woodworking and Hardware's Box Joint Jig fits on any router table with a 3/4" miter slot, where you can attach one of the three indexing keys (they're provided in sizes 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"), plus a bit and sacrificial fence. After you've tightened the jig, the indexing key is both a spacer and a stabilizer for cutting box joint notches, while the stop dadoes in both grooves engage the sled shortly after the bit clears the cut. The Rockier Box Joint Jig works with stock up to 3/4" thick and sells for $79.99. If it's the bits you need for your router, you can now think small: Amana has produced a series of l/4"-shank, carbide-tipped Miniature Bearing Router Bits that include a 3/16"-diameter ball bearing guide placed at the end of the bit. The series includes roundover, chamfer, flush-trim, bevel and rabbet profiles which will cut wood and plastic. Pricing starts at $18.90 for the 3/8" miniature flush-trim bit (MR0102) and varies with each bit. Rockier Woodworking and Hardware's Box Joint Jig With our annual focus on one of woodworkers' favorite tools, this issue has us rah-rah for routers — and their accessories. For instance, if your project du jour (or, more likely, the month) is making new doors for your kitchen cabinets (or even a new screen door), Freud's new Premium Rail and Stile Bit Set is available to work with a roundover profile, an ogee, a roundover bead or a bevel. It will accept material thicknesses from 5/8" to 1W, through use of an adjustable groove. Adjustable shims also allow the bits to fit correctly on panels whether they're thin or thick, while a unique cutter geometry eliminates tearout. Woodworkers can also choose whether to use long tenons or standard stub tenons in their joints — removing the top portion of the cutter (including bearing and spindle) is what produces the front of the long tenon profile. The Premium Rail and Stile Bit Set costs $99.99; optional cutters for double-sided and glass doors are also available. 70 December 2009 Woodworker's Journal |
