Making a sofa with your own hands in a home workshop. Homemade filler router: drilling on a plane. Part 6
A homemade filler mill allows you to make a number of holes not only along the edge of the part, but also on a plane, and at any angle to the edge of the workpiece.
And then I will tell you how to use a homemade filler router for such drilling using the example of making a sofa.
I'll start with the markup for connecting the side of the sofa with the board bnn (see drawing above)and then with parts at some angle: bn and bnv.
To begin with, the position of the board on the sidewall is marked and the position of the first hole in the row is marked. Further from this hole, a point is laid at a distance from the center of the hole to the edge of the router platform (in my case, it is 55 mm), and a line is drawn parallel to the line of installation of the part.

Additionally, I drew a perpendicular line through the center of the hole, it is needed to accurately position the router.
Next, the corner stop is removed from the router, and the limiter is fixed along the marked line with clamps. When drilling, the router rests against it with the edge of the platform.
On the site of the device, a marking was made along the drilling axis, this marking allows the positioning of the router. (Scroll through the gallery)
And after drilling the first hole, a stop is installed in the platform, which is inserted into the finished hole in order to drill the next one.
Next, I made a preliminary assembly of the sidewall to mark out the parts that are set at an angle. (Scroll through the gallery)
With a partially assembled sidewall, it is convenient to mark the decorative inserts.
Then the sidewall was disassembled, the first hole was marked, a stop for the router was installed and a number of holes were made.
When drilling holes in the second sidewall, it must be borne in mind that they are located in a mirror image and the marking must be carried out from one edge, more conveniently from the bottom.
In the rear uprights, holes are also made mirrored, and in order to have something to support the platform of a homemade additive router, these parts must be fixed and drilled together. (Scroll through the gallery)

It is interesting
Last year, the channel had a series of posts on making a bathroom cabinet. Who is interested can see link.
And even earlier, there was a series of articles on making a durable, reliable stool. You can see here.
And more recently it was series about chair making.
