In Response To: Re: Bead and cove machining yields (Pete Rudie)

Dwight thanks for asking and Pete thanks for your response, as this weekend I will be routing the bead and cove on my redwood and pine strips, and its good to know what to expect and how to keep from wasting all my strips finding a solution. I have the good fortune of having access to a shaper with an automatic feeder. I have noticed when routing other items that a constant feed rate and a proper setup with feather boards to hold the stock to the fence and table is the only way to go. I have never heard of running with the bit- I will try that if I have problems. I'd have to say don't have anyone standing on the other side of the router/shaper table!!! (Unless it's someone you don't like.)
