Hello all,
New to the creek, ex Ponder, been too busy to sign on here till I had an urgent problem and needed expertise.
I'm making a kitchen for a guy using his Jesada raised panel ogee bit set. I did my kitchen a couple of years ago. When I fit the cope to the stick, the bottom joint is tight, the tenon appears to be tight, but there's this danged gap on the front side where the ogees meet. My set was not as bad, but I remember this same problem
There's only a couple of ways this could happen as I see it.
1. bit set is ground wrong
2. Chop saw is not plumb
3. router table is not flat
4. operator error
5. not flat when glued up
Tried croscutting on table saw, same problem, so no #2.
I know his router table is not flat, area around bit is slightly proud of table, hmmm, that might be it, the cope is done face down, and that would bring the face closer to the cutter, possibly cutting it short. But I did get the same effect with my router table, and mine is pretty danged close to flat.
Checked glued up pieces, and they came out nice and flat, not cocked one way or the other.
Any suggestions, something that I'm missing?
