In ShopNotes No. 115, Vol. 20, Shows how to build a milling machine that uses your router to create decorative profiles on a workpiece, like a table leg. The key to how this milling machine works is the router bits used and the setup of the gears. I cut the gears for a buddy.

Great looking gears. How about some details on cutting them and some photos of the jig in action when it’s finished? Thanks for the video link. I wanted one before I saw the video… Now I have to go buy the magazine…

I just saw this set up at the Wood Show here in Atlanta, it looked well put together. They are still working out the details for it but looks like a very promising device.

Very interesting project. I thought, if that have not to me, but i can to make router with gear-feed on base of this idea. It maybe was going back and forth to worktable & cutting witn without the use of a template.

I realize I’m a little behind at making one of these, but I started today and noticed there is no pattern for the main gear.
Do you have a pattern Chucko? Or the info to print one from woodgears.ca?

I had a hard drive crash and lost all the cad drawing for the gears.
Have your say...
