Hello folks,
I need some rubber to act as a guide for my router:
Basically I make a lot of pine furniture like this:
One piece of 6mm mdf, one jigsaw and a bit of smoothing out the curve I had a guide for my router. Used a V-Groove cutter and routed one pass over the top, then took off all the clamps excluding the one right at the end, then rotated the mdf so that the clamp acted as a pivot point. Then clamped down again and routed.
But I couldn't rout the whole thing (including going right over from the base of one of the legs/ ends & over the top and down to the base of the other leg). This was because the mdf wasn't flexible enough, so I need a replacement.
I was thinking rubber, but all I can find is neoprene sheeting, 1m x 1.4m @ £70 odd quid, plus P&P.
Has anyone got any ideas on an alternative?
(p.s I know that side/ end table in the image is a bit ropey, but it's my first one from years ago, so please excuse! )
Cheers for any info/ replies_Dan.
