Revision as of 23:56, 23 June 2023
Options
- Bauer cordless angle grinder [1]
- Ryobi cordless router [2]
- DeWalt cordless router [3]
- Milwaukee is best according to this review [4]
- Reviews of top 5 [5]
- Bauer is decent [6]
Accessories
- Plunge router base 65 mm [7]
- milwaukee, dewalt, makita - plunge router bases for 65 mm body - [8]. You could get geared offset bases for getting into corners - [9]
Body Diameter
- Many diameters for router bodies [10]
Plunging
- If you know what you are doing, you can plunge without a plunge base - [11]
Window Cutting
The pros use "Spiral Flush Trim Upcut" - 1/4" [12], see vid [13]- Flush trimming bit - can also plunge - [14]
Bit Types
- Closest fixed-base plunging pierce bit - spiral and 1/4" so it's fast, but not up-cut for easier pierce. [15]
- Is it just me or everyone loves to take 2x the time by predrilling a pilot hole for bottom bearing spiral upcut flush trim cutout bits? Why not put the bearing on the top? See
- Up-spiral. 1/2" shank, 3/8" cut [16]. Up and down- spiral refers to which way material is moved out. [17]
- Up-cut (works like a drill bit) pulling chips up, so you can plunge effectively. [18]
- Compression bit has both upcut and downcut sections [19]
- Need: Upcut - Flush Trim Bit - 1/4" Spiral 1/4" Shank - top bearing - Or bearingless with smooth shaft though this will get hotter but acceptable for electrical boxes, like [20]
