I apologize for the experience you had in using 84624MC Router Bit. Fortunately, I have a large (1") cove bit that allowed me to tapper the tongues a little bit so the planks would slide together more easily. Check out the Arden Tongue and Groove Bit - 30.1mm Diameter 1/4 Shank for your Routing & Shaping needs. It was extremely difficult to even get my short test pieces together and almost impossible with my three-foot planks. It seemed fine when I tested with soft pine, but with cherry is was a different matter. This seems to be a trend and I see no advantage to it. They are only useful in aligning the router table's fence. ![]() ![]() The first problem for me is the guide bearings do not ride on the stock. I tested the bits when they arrived on some soft pine scrap I had laying around the shop. There are two things I don't like about this set. I covered three sides of the island base with random-width T&G cherry vertical planks. I purchased this T&G set for a large kitchen island project. (The shelves were too wide for the router table & fence.Work OK, But not my preference (3/5), Sep 18, 2021 The flush trimming operation requires a wide base on the router and clamping additional square and true temporary pieces to the 3/4" thick shelves I was making to ensure a wide, stable reference surface for the hand held router base. I personally found calipers better than a steel rule for tuning-in the set-up-more precise and easier to read. I used vertical feather boards on the router table for all operations and horizontal feather boards where possible on narrower work pieces. The cleat or fence affixed to the workpiece with two sided tape is essential (see video). I made multiple passes of 1/16-1/8" on the router table for both the tongue and the groove to reach full depth. Saws View All Router Bits Router Bit Sets Laminate Bits Straight Bits Stile. As others mention, be very patient and careful with set-up on scraps of the same thickness as your work piece-when you're spot-on save those for set-up jigs and to periodically check your finished product to be sure nothing is drifting. A 4 dust port is integrated into the steel cabinet-type stand for maximum. I am very pleased with the #7828 set with the #7733 matching bits and #7804 trim bit. I finally just sanded them off with a belt sander. It helps if you have a fence on the table that you can raise up the width of the exposed portion of the male piece, allowing it to go under the fence. The recommended size for the loose tenon is 1/4' high by 23/32' wide. The Bull Nose bit creates a full half round on the edges of the loose tenon material to make installation easy. (By setting up the fence very accurately, I was able to eliminate that step but it takes a long time to do it.) I also found that trying to use the straight bit to cut off the excess didn't work very well. The bit design is ideal for cleaning out grooves or creating new grooves in flooring that has already been installed. That would allow you to run the plywood directly against the fence, leaving the same small shoulder on the plywood, eliminating the need for taping a board to it. I wonder if it would be a good idea to make the tongue bit cut a a small shoulder perpendicular to the plywood face on each side. I, too, found out that the tear out on the plywood cross grain was bad. /rebates/2fp2fYonico-Tongue-and-Groove-up-to-1-1-4-in-Stock-1-2-in-Shank-Carbide-Tipped-Router-Bit-Set-2-Piece-152222f304970780&. If the bit cuts off more stock on the second pass, it isn't centered and you will have to raise or lower the bit. To make setup simpler, make a trial cut on one edge, flip it upside down and cut the same side again. These bits are hard to set up by the method shown in the video because they have to be perfectly centered on the work piece or the shoulders will be different widths and it won't work it will leave a gap on one side of the finished panel. This does make a strong and pretty edge but it is not a fast method to do it. ![]()
