Bevel a Large Radius

A router table?

Cut it close and use a table saw with a pivot point?

I would really need to see some pictures of exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

Would not have thought of the table saw for this type of cut…sounds interesting.

I’d use a band saw, with an auxiliary table and a pivot point. But this is a big and heavy top.

An alternative may be to make a base for my router (wedge angle to match the bevel), a straight bit and a pivot point. I’m sure constructing a base is a bit more complex. I’d look for router circle cutting jigs for ideas.

I read this and had to come back.

I think I would use a belt sander to bevel the edge then a RO sander to smooth it out.

I just can’t see a safe or efficient way to use a router or saw to do that, unless you just want a short bevel for which you can find a bit to use in your router, after you have cut the radius.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

If it were me, I would cut the radius on the band saw and rout the edges.

There may be one of the Jocks that has posted a circle cutting jig here. They are simple to build, probably less than a hour to complete, and will save you a lot of time and grief.

Our old friend Norm has plans for several jigs at New Yankee Workshop which are very useful.
The plans are only $16.00 US
