Earler in the Thread I mentioned a Table here is a picture of it simply done, there were two 3 Hp Routers mounted to the underside on a piece of 1" MDF

one had a 1" box cove bit and one had a 1' bead bit which is the one I am showing here.

This processed all the plank material for the T-4.

in the next thread I do the Job a little different on my Cat.

I Beams are in place here under the shadow of the eventual T-4 , I just use cheap white latex wall paint in the top flange it holds my layout very well. Nothing is more important at this stage than the base that will support all this work to be 100% level and true and Strong!

"Nothing is more important at this stage than the base that will support all this work to be 100% level and true and Strong!"


That is the absolute truth !!!!! It's amazing how many people do not understand the importance of a flat and level plane to work from.

Dave here is that simple table setup cutting the Bead side of the plank.

 

[Steve 1]

Sharp carbide cutters here ,the Box cove setup was on the other side of the table, I wanted two setups end to end but there was not the room so I flipped the work over and handed it to a helper on the other side.
