Keep up the good work, I'm eagerly awaiting you're first project from this set-up Corey.

HI Harry, it definitely will work ... I just fit it to the whole thing but it will be easy enough to pin the stock in it and then get the thing up above the rails like you said. Thanks HArry!

Thanks Bj. I see now. 1/4 mdf and one pass with a pattern 1/4 bit? Is the painters tape to help with tear out... ruffled edges etc.? Thanks for posting this!

Hi Corey

The tape is so I can eye ball the template up but it will help with the rip out also.
Lets say I want the slot 1/2" from the edges ,all need to do is lock the blank down in place and then just move the template around in place and then lock it in place..
In that way I don't need to play around with the blank trying to get it in just the right spot..

The template can just be moved around and I can put it in the just right spot....I could used a pencil but this lid that's in the snapshot is done so to speak but it's going to get the Harrys pattern put in it..

I's going to use the Small cove bit that comes with the TurnLock systems, it's a neat bit and I don't have one like it in my stock of router bits..it's made for the letter kit and comes with it from MilesCraft..

I used a 1/2" trim bit to cut out the template, it's quicker than normal 1/4" bit plus I'm going to use the 3/4" brass guide and it should work fine in the corners...radius thing...

Thanks Bj, have one of those from Eagle America it's in the pic I posted yesterday. It's the upper right hand bit. I read somewhere this weekend.. maybe on the Milescraft site that they recommend EA for replacement bits.

Bj, didn't know if you knew it or not but there is a pdf at the Milescraft site with other designs than are in the instruction booklet. You probably know it already but just in case you didn't, Here is the link:
