Rabbets with the OF 1010 and copy scanner set

[jeffinsgf]

Does anybody know if the current set (angle arm and copier set) will work with the OF 1000?

I believe the answer is yes. The OF1000 has the same foot mount design.

Nice job, Craig.  I'll have to add that to my "next order" list.   [big grin]

Thank you Sir

Very nice Craig.

how does the rabbit stay even as the router moves around the pivot point? how do different size bit deal with the set size of the copier bearing?

Great Question!!!

In this case the 20mm bearng is just a tiny bit larget than the 3/4' strate bit  so in this case  the babbet is deepest only at the apex and you could actually hold it slightly off for the first pass and finish it at full depth.  It is a tactile response that lets you know if you are all the way engaged and if you are not sure just go over it again......

Now if you were to use a bearing that was smaller than the cutter,  the deepest cut would be at a slight angle off the apex  so this would be much harder to get the depth of cut you want...

Hope this helps Craig

I have to say I'm confused about this as well. It would seem to me that you would get a different width of rabbet if the center of your bearing is not exactly at the center of your bit. If the center of your bearing is offset from the center of your bit, wouldn't any twist of the router result in a change of the rabbet width? My point is that your distance from edge of bearing to edge of bit would change depending on how the router is oriented (unless your bit is centered under the bearing).

Your right, it depth of cut does change with the orientation. I've been using the copier scanner set this way for a couple of years now and as Craig says you get a feel for the technique and your able to easily go back for a second pass if need be. I use it for metric and odd size rabbets, it really does work well.

Thank you for those  great videos. I just ordered the scanner set for other applications and now you gave me new ideas of applications.
