Hi,
I am building a crib for my daughter, which includes a large curved piece for the "headboard" which requires an edge treatment. I have found the following bit: toolstoday.com/classical-cove-bead-router-bits.html (Timberline 400-20) which I think will do the trick although I would prefer something bigger (open to any suggestions).
My question is about the procedure of routing the edge on the curved piece. I think I can do this similarly as I would on a straight run by letting the router base follow the curve. I have included a few screen shots from the model CAD model for the project. One contains some a representation of what i described above using some red marks. The triangle is intended to represent the router bit the line directly above the triangle is the router base and the line perpendicular the workpiece is mean to represent the router itself.
Will this method work? Can anyone provide an suggestions on how to approach it differently.Thanks for any help.
