SS at its best

Post by rocke1 »

Preparing to build a peice in mahogany and to save material and figure out the construction I've cut a pattern in pine. Now the how to-set up the bandsaw to cut this very awkward pattern. The photo will show the SS and once again shows that nothing can beat the good old Mark V.

Nice looking shop there, Rock.

Have you thought about rough cutting the finished piece and then cleaning it up with a router - using the pattern as a guide?

You're right on there Rock! The Mark V with a little innovation can do anything you want! Nice set-up and very nice shop!!

Going with Rusty's trimming suggestion with a router, (an excellent suggestion) brings me to think that if one had an OPR, he could use that pattern to make many pieces just like that pattern.

Yes, the pattern will serve to quide the router. I've four to make for this project and the flush cut bit with quide bearing should ensure all are alike.
