Cutting boards.

[Steve H]

I want to get one that would fit my green egg tabletop and use it in place of the existing insert. Do I just need to PM you the dims? I like to support the guys on here when I can and I think it would be a nice addition.

Yes! Please pm me the info. We can discuss this.

I might have a idea.

Tray and bowl bottom cutting bit . Template , and an oversize base .


I use it to do finger grabs , but easily adapted to do a prep tray .
Just have to have a template that matches the size of the tray .

I bought them to do these trays .

Yes! Please pm me the info. We can discuss this.

Will do! I will get the dims in the next couple days. Been working crazy hours!

Thanks! I've seen the bowl bits. Where did you get the oversized base?

 

[chopsaw]

oversized base?

I made that , but it's hard to find the right thickness and type .
Let me look through my Amazon stuff and I'll get the link .

You can also look at the big box store . Just be careful buying without seeing , because some of it is not rigid enough .

This is what I bought . I adapted my router table to the 12 X 12 size , so I can hang it in the table .

I bought some templates , but ended up making my own from them . It's a bitch really . You need at least 3/4's on the template , and the bought ones are thin . Really need to hog out the middle area to use them . It's a messy SOB . Lol .

Hey chopsaw I ordered these two bits:

Rockler Dish Carving Router Bit - 1-1/4" Dia x 1/2" H x 1/2" Shank

Make custom bowls and trays of all shapes and sizes with this bearing-guided Dish Carving Router Bit!

www.rockler.com

Rockler Rounded-Shoulder Juice Groove Router Bit

Specially-designed cutting board router bit creates a round-bottomed drainage groove flanked by precisely softened edges.

And I finally ordered a juice groove jig. Thought about making one. But went that route instead.

ordered these two bits:

Nice . Now depending on what you're going to do , you'll need a base that spans the mortise you want to do . I made one out of 3/4 " particle board . You'll need that thickness to catch the bearing . I'm using double stick tape to hold it in place .


Boy , I like that Juice groove bit . I'm using a cheap box core bit .
Doesn't make a good cut on the bottom , or that slight round over .
I'll need to get one of those .

finally ordered a juice groove jig.

Go to school with it , and practice !!

Multiple shallow cuts , and try to avoid the urge to go one more time .
" Maybe a bit deeper " turns into " dammit !"

Biggest thing is if the guide is on the outside of the cut , your direction is clockwise .

Guide to the inside of the cut , direction is counterclockwise .

I jumped on Amazon awhile back and bought a bunch of parts .


Made a leg taper jig for the tables I make , after I had a leg come off the saw and smoke me in the chest .
I can run this one one handed . Safe and no worries .

Currently working on a sub top with channels , so I can do setups for different things , like grooves .

Thanks chopsaw . I didn't think about the template being 3/4" thick. Thanks for the tip!
