| Registered User New Member |  Router Bit suggestion I make custom wood signs out of logs. Logs are cut to about 1 1/2" thickness where actual sign is. I cut the letters out in the log first with a saw and then shape them with the router. I'm just not finding a bit that I can use free hand to finish this shaping with that I am happy with or easy to use. Any suggestions? Logs are of walnut and cedar mainly. |

| Registered User New Member | Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I am shaping wood that is almost 1 1/2" thick after it is rough cut with a jig saw. I don't believe either of those bits will cut or shape what I need done. |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi buckshot It almost sound like you need a Spindle Sander to clean up the letters after you cut them out with a jig saw...the small 1/2" drum will get right in most of the letters and numbers... 1/3 HP Oscillating Spindle Sander http://www.grizzly.com/products/g0538 1/2" Dia. x 4-1/2" Sand Sleeve, Hard A100, 3 pc. http://www.grizzly.com/products/H5433 http://www.grizzly.com/catalog/2007/Main/132 =========== Quote:
