First time I've used this. Won it on ebay, and cleaned it up tonight and gave it a go.
Its like one of those sash routers. Ovolo. Preston. But, instead of a sash, it cuts a 1/4 inch bead on a curved edge.
Took some photos for something to do, since its too late too turn on the machines.
pic 1 - thats what it looks like.
pic2 - High bed. Shouldn't tear much with a bed like that I'm guessing.
pic 3 - Just cut a mild curve on a bit of scrap with my new bandsaw (thanks Tom. Love it) Just pushed it like a spokeshave. Its got two blades. The blades have the same profile, and I just use the blade thats cutting the cleanest. so your always cutting with grain.
pic 4, 5. a nice sort of detail I thought.
Only worked on a mild curve though I noticed. I tried first with a tighter curve and the sole wouldn't drop properly.
I liked it. Its like a scratch tool, but it cuts faster, cause your not scraping, and the blade won't wear as fast.
Put it on the shelf now, and probably won't use it for 2 years. Better put some oil on it eh.
