Posts: 14 06/29/2009 14:24	Tags : None What router bit should be purchased to mortise reel seat inserts for most cap and ring style? It seems that some recommend Venneri's 5/8" modified bit as well as C1215 fingernail bit from Grizzly. I plan on utilizing a dedicated router table setup in conjunction with a jig like in Cattanach's book. However, does the C1215 need to be modified in the form of being reground to the proper profile in order to be used? Also, are there any bits that would work from other places such as MLCS? Thanks. Ron

But whatever you get (even a Venneri modified bit) will have to be reground to the profile that will give you the proper mortise: The following two images illustrate the grinding that is required: The line in the second image shows how that corner should be ground with the extension of the grinding line going through the center of the thumbnail arc. Of course all four corners have to be ground. Here is a picture of the profile of the mortise with unground (right) and ground (left) bits: I much prefer the left profile as it locks the reel foot more effectively.

I have my bits modified to the correct size without the angles for more versatility . These bits can also be used on screw locks and they match the threaded barrel perfectly. I have a few bits in stock but not many . Best Regards Bob V Robert Venneri Venneris 21 Chuck Hill Rd Saugerties NY 12477 845 246 5882 rvenneri@venneris.com www.venneris.com

Use trial and error to set it once they use or make a height gauge to repeat it. Look at a machinist height gauge for motivation but a homemade one will work fine. Same concept as setting a cutter height on a lathe.

But if you use a dedicated set up and reference off of the OD using a v then once the height is set you never have to adjust again . only have to adjust the fence. http://www.venneris.com/fixture.htm Best Regards Bob V Robert Venneri Venneris 21 Chuck Hill Rd Saugerties NY 12477 845 246 5882 rvenneri@venneris.com www.venneris.com
