recessed drawer pull
I wanted to use some 3.25 inch wooden recessed drawer pulls sold by Rockler for a project. Trying to make a template for handheld routing proved to be difficult and innacurate at best. The "lip" on these pulls is only 1/16 inch, so there isn't much room for error. VCarve Pro turned out to be the ultimate, repeatable answer. The pulls fit like a glove.

Re: recessed drawer pull
Thanks for your post and the files, JBM. Pockets for hardware that normally require a router and template/jig or a Forstner bit and chisel are a great application for the Sharks. In my shop we have Forstner bits from 1/4" to 2.25", but only in 1/8" steps. Yes, you can buy metric versions for most european hardware, but in a few minutes you can draw the exact circle or slot needed and be cutting it perfectly and exactly where and as deep as it needs to be.

Re: recessed drawer pull
Thanks for the suggestion about the Forstner bits. Having only had a Shark for a few weeks, I'm just beginning to learn all that it can do.
Re: recessed drawer pull
Just to be clear, he isn't suggesting that you use Forstner bits in the Shark! Just the opposite - that the Shark can be programmed to cut exactly the size hole you need when you don't have a Forstner bit of the right size to use in your drill press.JuniorBirdMan wrote:Thanks for the suggestion about the Forstner bits.

Re: recessed drawer pull
Dang! All the money I wasted having 30+ forstner bits ground to fit a router collet!
Re: recessed drawer pull
LOL!. Don't worry, Junior. They will still work in a drill press.

Re: recessed drawer pull
It's a good thing because the router sounded like it didn't particularly enjoy that 3.5 inch forstner bit anyway, not to mention all the smoke and fire.4DThinker wrote:LOL!. Don't worry, Junior. They will still work in a drill press.
