Router advice wanted

[mrrusty]

Its not all 100% guaranteed perfect with a router after all the messing about, and things are just as likely to go wrong.

I think we'll agree to disagree. For a regular router user this is a walk in the park. Bit of 12mm MDF to make a corner template and round you go. Nothing really likely to go wrong - why should it? No different to cutting w/t joints and radii.

How can it look pants?.

Because a lot of people simply can't saw straight and plumb

How can it look pants?

Its 35mm thick.
To rasp and sand that after sawing does take some skill. And a lot of time to complete 4 corners with a 4.5 cm radius.
You can always say its hand crafted.
If the edges are already machined to a fine finish, hand crafted corners may look out of place.

Have a set of these twin fluted replaceable blade cutters...

All you need is one template. And the results are quality.
Because the blade makes the cut at about 45 degrees compared to a standard carbide tipped profiler set at 90 degrees.

Do they come with an 8mm shank, though?

 

[Ryler]

Pretty sure they don't.

Not much use to the OP, I'm afraid, his router is 8mm max shank. I have a couple of similar ones from Wealden Tool on 1/2in shanks and for template work they are pretty handy

Maybe, but I did mention the block of wood on the top trick.

I think I'll leave our up to the OP now I seem to be out voted.
