Tom Cancelleri Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Oh man, I've got a mancrush on this router. 5 minutes for this with no previous removal. Given that I have bad carpal tunnel, this router it's a piece of cake to use, comfortable, and no worries like with the 1400.

..Kev Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Looks awesome! I used a forstner bit to hog the bulk of the material out of the 2 that I built but, that's super clean and well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Do you prefer the 2200 over the 1400? I have the 1010 as my handheld but want another one that can accept 1/2" bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2200 is way more comfortable to use. I see them both having application, especially in bigger tasks. I wish I had this a few days earlier to do the other mortises that took me forever with the 1400 due to lack of power and having to take more passes. The 1400 is a bit more cumbersome with the edge guide. I use one hand to push the edge guide and 1 hand to push the router down with switch held down. I can't grip things for extended periods of time without losing feeling in my hands. I had no issue with the 2200, and was very comfortable and much more relaxed while holding it. If you're gonna be moving it around a lot, keep in mind it's pretty damn heavy, at around 17 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 17lbs! Whoa. Thats a badass router. Im thinking it would compliment the of1010 really well. Guess i will have to hold one of those beasts to see hkw it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Dude that thing is beast. I did that 1 7/16" deep mortise in 2 different depth passes, and the router didn't give me a hard time at all. It pushed through the wood like a hot knife through butter. Completely effortless.

shaneymack Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Is it annoying not being able to plug it into the ct and have the auto on feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Is it annoying not being able to plug it into the ct and have the auto on feature? I plugged right into the ct. It doesn't pull a consistent 15 amps, and it's soft start. I had no problems. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Good to know. From what i saw online i thought it wasnt advisable. Thats why its not a quick connect cord a a bigger gauge. I want this router badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It's not advisable if you're plugging it into a CT vacuum and then plugging the vacuum into a 15Amp outlet. My shop is all 20 amp outlets, sans the ones that were installed when the house was built, those are used for radio, 2 hanging lights, and garage door opener.

Tom Cancelleri Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just kind of puttering today. Drilled the holes for the draw bore pegs in the legs. Went and picked up a 10" long 3/8" bradpoint bit to drill the hole for the CrissCross solo pins. Made a test tenon for the legs just to make sure my draw bore holes were in a place that worked. Might give it another hour or so today and do the tenons, though I'm sure I'll have to adjust each and every one of them to get them perfectly fitting, definitely won't be able to just batch em out and not worry about it.

My ct vac is plugged into a 20amp also. I guess it means im destined to get that router Time to convince the wife.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Should be fine for intermittent use. Stopping and starting to change depths etc. , but if you were going to route using a big bit all day long separate cords would be advised. An all day session with a 1 1/2" roundover bit in my 3.25 hp PC router( 19 lbs) wore me out and that motor was WARM ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Tom. Where did you pick up that big 10"? Seriously, though... that was one of the scariest propositions for me because I had to drill from each side for the Crisscross. It ended up OK, but it was one of those serious pucker factor moments for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up OK, but it was one of those serious pucker factor moments for me. Yea I was gonna do that, wrap the line around the front and sides. Then make my marks, however I said you know what... Long bit is worth it to keep down any chance of any mishaps. http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/158412/FISCH-38-Inch-x-10-Inch-Long-High-Speed-Steel-Brad-Point-Drill-Bit.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 More stuff going on. Cleaning up one side of the chop. So I can run in through the planer Chop lamination. Also milled up some cherry as end pieces to give me the 9"wide top. Blah for waiting on glue to dry. Guess that's it for chop until tomorrow, until I can final dimension the center after the glue cures. Then route the criss cross mortise (yay more playing with the 2200). Then drill a hole for the solo pin. Then more gluing, dominoes to align the wings, then shaping, chamfer and such. Leg vise install is coming. Might do tenons tonight also.

Tom Cancelleri Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 All my mortises are drilled for draw bore pegs. Cut some cherry 3/8 dowel, going to need another dowel, as I only got 18 from the 36" dowel. Need 8 more pegs. Cut the first pin for the leg, tested or the criss cross fit. Tapered the pin ends using a drill and bench grinder. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Aren't you missing the metal plate in the bottom of that mortise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
