I'm building some 5-piece doors for my vanity and medicine cabinet for my new bathroom.
I successfully set up the profile cutter to run the long-grain profile cuts on my rails and stiles, but am having trouble with the end-grain cope cuts. The pieces are only 1-1/2" wide and even after cutting deeply into my sacrificial fence, I can't hold the pieces square as I move them across the cutter.
I have a router table sled, but the cope cutter won't cut far enough into the sled's sacrificial fence to complete the cut, and I don't have a clamp with a deep enough throat to clamp the work to the fence.
Bill Hylton's Router Table book suggests a coping sled with an integral toggle clamp. Is this the best/easiest way?
What are you folks using?
Thanks,
BTW, the vanity seems to have moved from the "project" category to the "career" category, it's taking so long.
