In Response To: Strip: trouble with b&c routing (Pascal, in Chile)

: Hi all,

: My routing setup for beadīnīcove is giving me some trouble. Maybe everything
: is alright and I am just worrying about nothing, but I would rather ask
: now that I still have all ten fingers....

: My router is a Makita 3620 plunge router, roughly 3/p hp. When I plunge it
: all the way, the collet nut only just extends beyond the router base. So,
: then insert my Lee Valley large diameter bead (or cove) bit, and find that
: it does not even clear the table surface. My table is melamine 15mm (0.6
: inch). The only way I can get it to proper working height is to partially
: lift the shank of the bit out of the collet cone. When I reach the proper
: height, I have only about half the shank left in the collet cone. The
: collet cone is still completely filled with shank, only there is no more
: shank extending beyond it into the router...

: The router instructions say to always insert the bit all the way into the
: cone. I cannot help the feeling that maybe I am not understanding some
: basic principle here. Maybe someone can enlighten me ?

: Pascal, first time router

: PS: Endeavour 17 is all ready to strip, with forms, inner stems and sheer
: clamps installed.

I am presently working on my 3rd stripper all B&C, but I have to tell you this may be over kill for ALL places on the boat. I plan to try square strips and plane bevel on my next one and maybe some of this one. Most places the B&C is not needed and it is very difficult to make it tight all the way thus leaving spaces when you sand/fair the hull, thus filling is going to be required.

Bottom line, I am not impressed with my ability to close the gaps, and I don't think I could have done a better job of milling B&C strips.
