Topic tags/keywords: question Good morning all, I need a little help. I need to turn down the end of a 3/4” square slat to 7/16” on both ends. I don’t have a lathe. It seems to me I have seen a way to do it with a router table. Did I dream that? Thanks Les -- Stay busy....Stay young |

If it is for a short length, It is pretty fast to do with hand tools. You can use a spokeshave and start by drawing an octagon to approximate your circle. Take the edges down with the spokeshave, then take the new smaller edges, etc.. until you get a round. -- Yves |

Wayne, I am not familiar with that accessory. What is it called exactly and are those easily found on ebay for example? -- Yves |
