I am going to finish a platter with handles. I will need to remove the material between the handles. There are lots of ways that I could do this. I could try to carefully cut with a bandsaw, jigsaw or sabre saw and clean it up with filing or sanding. But I want to make sure that I don't leave obvious saw marks, etc. My thought is that if I could hold a router and cut between the handles that it might be preferable and require less hand work.
So I made a contraption that allows me to hold a router in my lathe banjo. The thing took me less than an hour. It consists of a 1/4" plate welded to a 1" Diameter post that is held by my banjo. When I cut the handles, I'll repost.
