Preventing Chipout
开云体育This is just a shelf that goes on top of friends dog crate. I chamfered with Felder 150 mm shear rebate head at 45 deg and got a chip out in one spot. In this particular case, the shelf was elevated by a piece of plywood so the wood was backed up even though there is a gap in the table around the cutter.Is there a way to minimize chances of this happening, like putting a tape on the surface being milled? I know it is risky to do it on the end grain. Perhaps, I should have done it in couple of passes. Imran Malik |

开云体育Good point Brian. Since this was done upside down on shaper, the shear action was in opposite direction than being helpful.Imran Malik On Jan 4, 2024, at 3:03 PM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:

开云体育I do a lot of chamfers like that in chip out prone material and have found saw blades coming down across the material to be the safest way.Brian Lamb blamb11@... www.lambtoolworks.com

开云体育This would be easy enough to do by tilting the blade on your slider and bringing your rip fence in as a stop with fence pulled back just before the blade. I cut all my 45s that way on the slider.? On Jan 4, 2024, at 3:30 PM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:

Imran,
Both Brian and Dan gave you approaches that work well and are simple to implement. For my part, I always like to complicate things a bit ?: I have cut chamfers on my spindle using a single blade from my dado set, angled to the desired slope. I was already setup to cut corner splines on a small box so this was an easy task to perform. The piece was sitting on the slider. Proper safety guards in place and the fence on the shaper hood acted as the stop. It worked very well and saved me from having to switch functions on my B3. Regards, Jacques |
