[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3798690, member: 45524"] [MEDIA=youtube]2DCulXOTIJI[/MEDIA] i found this video online, and have copied a bit of his setup. he doesn't mention cutting the bottom of his blank so they can drill "straight" down with his press, but he clearly uses that method and you can see the cut he's made in his piece between the 9:00 and 9:30 mark. EDIT: oh loool i just realized he's using a 1/4'' bit for the 3/8'' groove that's why he keeps moving his piece. well don't do that.....just use a 3/8'' bit...LOL i'm also not sure his method of routing was the best choice. i did use a similar setup with how i have mine set (i can snap a pic of my super simple jig), but i just routed ONE pass and hogged out everything going real slow. not sure why routing one way then turning the piece 90° and routing again until they meet, then repeated until the desired depth makes much sense. i set all my dimensions, mark the lines of my piece of where to stop, set up router bit at the desired depth, and cut. one pass it's done; then just square the stopped rounded end with the 3/8's chisel. usually one or two taps, my chisels are *sharp*.
