(I also see a bowl hollowing bit in there for the background (?) ) 
I can see a board clamped across the workpiece to aid in staying in a nice horiz. straight line, if desired... have you done that? |
Joe, Pardon the late respone. I have not signed on in several days. Have been busy but not in the woodshop......getting withdrawal pains.
Yes, I like the Homier trim router. I have used it to make 5 signs. Two were about 18" x 24". Yes I use str. bites on all the signs. Have tried mill end bits also but the 3/8" double flute straight bit I have seems to cut better without a lot of wood smoke/burn. No I have not tried a straight edge but after I made the two large signs I realized I could have gotten a sharper outer edge if I had of used some kind of edge guide. I plan to try this on a future sign.
BTW Harbour Freight sells a 1/4" trim router that is identical to the Homier. You can usually find it on sell for $19.99 at their stores...watch for their flyers...which is about the same as the Homier with shipping. If you can catch it on sell for $19.99 and get one of their coupons like I did recently, I got it for about $16 at the store. Now I have two 1/4" trim routers. I recently used one of them with a small roundover bit on several pieces of wood and it was a pleasure to use... much easier than a normal size router for job I was doing.
