Finally, here are photos of the "cyma recta" profile and the steps I used to make it:
Photo #1: This is taken from FWW #166, p. 74 (Dec. 2003). This is the built-up molding I want to make. It consists of (from the top) quarter round, fillet, cyma recta, fillet, elongated cove, astragal, and cove. The cyma recta is what I wanted to duplicate using roundover and cove bits.
Photo #2: A front view of the 30° fence and retainer mounted to my router table.
Photo #3: A side view showing how the stock will ride on the retainer and be held against the fence.
Photo #4: The first cut, made with a 3/8" roundover bit with the bearing removed.
Photo #5: After the second cut, made with a 3/8" cove bit (bearing removed) with the stock flat on the table. A 3/4" roundnose bit would have worked here, too.
Photo #6: Showing how the notch due to the overcut of the roundover bit will be hidden when the molding is built up. |
