how to ... ""DIG" SHAPES INTO WOOD ???

[Superully]

once again, another popular "how to ..." topic 

here's the question of the day:

which router tool is the best for "digging" holes into wood for e.g. a coin door or speakers?

bruno always shows us THAT he is "digging" holes like on his gauntlet "workshop" https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=6.msg83#msg83, but which tool do i have to install into the router to do so?

pictures / item descriptions would be perfect!

Thx a lot

Good technical term there....dig 

Are you talking about cutting a new coin door, basically a big hole in some wood? If you are you simply mark out the "hole" you want to cut. Drill through a corner of the outline then, using the hole just drilled, you can jigsaw (pendulum saw) the required shape out.

yeah, i'm talking about "cutting", but "digging" sounds like more work  anyway, i was wondering how this could be done with a router, since i don't have a jigsaw and i hadn't planned on buying one ...

Well, I'm using this one for 'digging' big & deep area

@bruno: so you're "digging" holes first and then use a jigsaw to cut out the shape?

i wish i had some serious hardware like that. instead i have a junior hacksaw that i cut my bits with on the floor.

Just use a coping saw then, only cost a few pounds, if you are prepared to do it manually.
