Here is a trick that worked like a champ
While doing the second area of the recore and at a point where I needed to mix up some thickened epoxy anyway I decided to do the cutout for the water tank deck fill. I was pleasantly suprised to find solid balsa in this area but that meant I needed to figure out a good way to dig out the balsa around the perimeter of the opening back approx 1/2" so the screws holding the deck fill in place would not be in balsa.
I came up with a slotted cutter on the trim router that worked like a champ as you can see below.
The last picture is the area I'm currently working on.
1/4" top bearing slotting bit?
Jerry, That's indeed a gudun! Slot cutter on the trimrouter.
Don't want to hiccup undercutting that hole, you must have nerves of fiberglass.
Most if not all trimrouters are 1/4" collet.
And you had to have used a cutter with the bearing on top of the blade.
And you had to have first cleared the hole out with a topbearing plunge cutter inside a pattern.
(think that's how aye would have approached it! ) Holesaw?
Catalog time of year....
a current MLCSWoodworking.com, don't recall ordering from them....
BUT they haven't got anything like you must have used there. Nor does an old Eagle catalog.
So you must have a Whiteside or one of the big boys. Can't be Freud, Bosch or Grizzly.
Just found an old CMT(OrangeTools), but their topbearing slotters are all 1/2" shank.
So, tell us what the bit is........pulease!:cool:
What's your trim router? ( I have a Bosch with a catchy name(?) It has an alternate opensided base that has come in handy for close work (get to SEE the bit going round!). But with a slotting cutter?:eek:)
