I hope someone can chime in with an idea as to how to do this:
I have a curved piece and I want to make a "matching" curved piece that fits into the original (as a male/female part). Say I have piece "A" below and want to make "B".
138415
Note that I want a glue line joint (has to be perfect).
Also note that I don't want to make an identical copy (so using a flush trim bit to follow "A" doesn't work).
I thought about putting piece "A" on a piece of wood and use a router insert with a plunge bit to cut "B" but the problem is that the radius of the curve "B" obtained is different from "A" by the thickness of the bit and so if you put them into each other I won't get a perfect fit.
Any ideas?:confused:
