I've got a juicy job coming up that got an arch top( it's a door see photo)
my previous spindle had a good solid ring fence. this one did not come with one. am I better buying a ring fence off the bay there's a kity one that's looks flimsy and overpriced at the minute. or making a sturdy one..
I could also buy a bearing with a 30mm bore and make some followers in ally( I've got a myford 7). the radius in the arches corners is fairly small ( maybe 4inch) so a ring fence may not follow it accurately.
I'm thinking I'd need an 82mm 81mm and 80mm follower to get the patterns. as my planer block is 80mm.
and 2 smaller than my 125mm rebate block. to give a 1/2 inch rebate so 6mm and then 12 1/2 mm rebate steps.
does all this sound sensible.
anything I've missed apart from such a tight rad may work easier with a router.
