I’d like to share this handy router table jig that enables to use any router bits (think bearing free) to mill edges of round surfaces. Picture #3 shows the results from this particular bearing free router bit I used for this demonstration.
After setting the fence so the piece just kisses the bit, power up the router, lean the round piece on the right fence side, roll it slowly towards the bit, and when the piece makes contact with both sides of the fence (and of course the router bit), pivot it counterclockwise, as shown by the arrow. Several shallow cuts ensure safe work.
It works great and I hope you’ll like it. Feel free to comment.
All construction details and more photos on this page of my blog.
Best,
Serge

@Patron: You’re right, David, that was the goal, as well as flexibility. I try to stay away from stores as much as I can! I have more ideas than cash, or I depend more on my ideas than my bank account!! (smile)
@Kent: Thank you, Kent. I hope you’ll try it too!
Best,
Serge

This is definitely one of the things I’ll put in the figurative file cabinet in the back of my head for later! Great idea.

Thank you all, guys for comments. I rather make what I can and buy what I can’t. And sharing I can do!
Best,
Serge

Same tip/jig was in wood magazine this month, but I do like the addition of the larger hole around the bit :)
