A friend of mine has a CNC router for his business and he produces some very fine solid timber cabinets.
He was in the process of routing handles for one of his new designs. (Design enclosed) and I thought it would be a good exercise for all those router fans out ther to see if it was possible to tbe made with a plunge router. I certainly will be interested in trying to solve the problem as I simply love the challenge with the router.
Get on your thinking caps and give it a go. Personally I think it is too small for consideration to be cut with the aid of the router table (I could be wrong of course) therefore it will have to be cut in the plunge mode.
Give it a try and we can report our failures or successes next week.Material size is 152mm x 42mm x 25mm (sorry for the metric sizes to all those who are still working with Imperial)

The drawing that I have submitted shows 6mm radius rounding over to all the top edges though the original design is a 12.5mm radius. Needless to say I will have a go at the larger radii once I purchase a new cutter. Subject to me coming up with a safe method of producing the item
Best of Luck
