Check out this new DECKNOLOGY. Can’t get more custom than this! 😎 ..#build #builder #construction

What happens here

Begin by creating a precise circular opening and a surrounding recess in a sacrificial piece of wood (or a template) using a hole saw and a compact router. A cordless drill with a hole saw attachment is used to cut the main circular hole, followed by a compact router to create a shallow, flush-fitting recess around the perimeter of the hole. A leaf blower is used to clear sawdust and debris from the work area. This process demonstrates the technique for integrating the wireless charger module flush into a surface.

Goal: Demonstrate the process of creating a flush-mount opening for the wireless charger module.

Tools and materials

  • Compact Router HiKOKI — To create a shallow recess around the circular hole, allowing the charger to sit flush
  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — To power the hole saw for cutting the main circular opening
  • Hole Saw — To cut the initial large circular hole for the charger
  • Leaf Blower DeWalt — To clear sawdust and debris from the work area
  • Quick-Release Bar Clamps Jorgensen — To secure the wood block to the workbench during routing
  • Wood Block — A sacrificial piece of wood used as a test piece or template
