For all members



Hi everyone. I used the scary router bit to make the drawer handle cutouts this week - and shot a video about that bit as well. There’s the nailer draw too, and I’ve been turning the workshop into a boot fair / yard sale in readiness for the great ‘clearance collection’; it was great to see the folks who were able to stop by, and there's a couple of members who have made separate arrangements, but there are still a few quite large lots to be collected, so if you put your name down for items that were marked as collection only please get in touch as soon as you can, thanks.


In the extended version For BTS MO and ATB members I go into a bit more detail on the systainer tote inserts - I’ve emptied the contents into a bucket so we can see them clearly, at least!


Thanks all, for your amazing support!


Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I’ll catch you in the next one.


Best, Peter

Thanks for another great video, Peter! I have been watching and looking at these woodworking bits from the sidelines with interest. I am also a metal worker and the machine-tool industry has moved to these type of insert cutters for their superior wear characteristics and multiple cutting edges. The modern high-speed CNC machining centers that are the production industry standard, do turn at fairly high spindle speeds although probably still somewhat less than a wood router. Additionally these processes are enclosed in a cab, and isolated from the operator and surroundings. I have broken these inserts (most through my own error) on both my manual mill and lathe, but at the slower rotational speeds I normally work at, it pres…

Hi Barry, and thank you! I hadn’t considered the metalworking application of this type of bit - as a woodworker I tend to regard all metals as equally hard, apart from aluminium - but that’s great insight, thank you. And of course, it makes perfect sense that they’re contained in some kind of enclosure.


It’s an interesting bit, and it machines wood beautifully, but I’m not 100% convinced they’re worthwhile in normal use. Great value for a bearing guided bit though! 👍
