What do you think?
Hi,
Just saw this on the UK woodwork forum. The guy on there who put it up was lost for words.

I watched this clip while having lunch thinking that, yes the risk it quite high. But then I walked away and thought about how I would do the job. Basically I would do it the exact same way but with the router clamped down, or most likely in the router table. Anyways, I went back to work and started to apply a 1/8" roundover to some small parts for the handles and side rails of a batch of serving trays I am currently building. I quickly noticed a bunch of similarities between what I was doing and what the guy in the clip was doing. So I made my own video because I have been wanting to see what is involved in making utube clips (its really easy...).
Yes I realise I am putting myself up for a bunch of probably negative commentary...meh

So whats the problem?. I am assuming thats a chunk of aluminum nothing wrong with using carbide and a router for aluminum. You should give it a try

I am OK with it. The cut is very very small. There is no chance for a kickback, and the chance of any part of his hand touching the cutter is almost 0. I'll try it.

Hmmm, my only real issue is the fact that the router is just plonked down loose on a rickety stool. The biggest risk there is that he is trying to control two separate items; if he gets any kickback or just even stumbles slightly there is an opportunity for some carnage.
Kuffy; the only negative commentary I will give is regarding the eye protection; specifically the lack of it. I am fiercely protective of my eyesight and would seriously recommend you at least get a set of safety specs.
I'd also ask; why do you go over the items again; but backwards? There is a risk that the piece can be pulled away from you when routing "backwards".

I used to ALWAYS use safety specs even when just wandering around the factory. But i used to wear earplugs but I found them to be not as good as earmuffs, so I swapped to earmuffs and now I use safety specs less and less. I still use them occasionally when I know my face will be in the line of fire. Gotta buy myself a pair of eyemuffs https://eyemuffs.com/
I am actually doing the first pass as a climb cut (backwards). climb cutting almost entirely removes the risk of picking a splinter out of the edge of the timber creating an unsightly crater in the finished edge. Because the cut is very small, the cutter cannot generate enough force/torque against the weight/power of my arm so I can comfortably use a climb cut. If it was a 3/4" roundover bit, I probably could do a climb cut in a single pass, but I would be fighting it every step of the way. I finish with a conventional cut because climb cutting can leave a slightly furry edge, and the conventional cutting cleans up the furrys without actually cutting anything extra.

Ah; that clears it up.
I have safety specs lying around everywhere; just about every machine or tool that might warrant them has a pair nearby.
Only problem I have now is that my eyesight has deteriorated the other way (I'm short-sighted to buggery & wear contact lenses) and I now need reading glasses to read scales and rules; so whereas I can simply stretch out my arm in any direction and put my hand on a pair of safety specs, I now spend five minutes trying to remember I did with my readers!

Oh man, that is really scary. The leather glove gives him nothing like the grip he needs - he only has to slip slightly and he'd be wearing that ring. Doing the inside of the ring was the worst. I could go on about the router moving around, rickety stool, yadda yadda.
I don't really have a problem with him doing alum on the carbide, as my reaction would be the same if it was wood (although his grip on the job would be a little better I suppose).
He's a kenidiot, and the video should be taken down lest someone else thinks it's a good idea.

I was thinking the same regarding the leather glove - lack of feel and glove finger ends sticking out past the finger ready to get caught. I don't think the leather glove would offer much protection from a 20,000rpm carbide bit.
