Hello Richard a "V" cutter works well, also something that has a small rounded bottom also looks nice. Remember you are adding details, at least at first I would only do light cuts, And as a matter of coarse you can always go bigger, once you have more time using the set-up and gain more confidence /skills with your new tool.
Something that I do not believe that we have talked about as far as the wave attachment goes. is the way to keep the wave in sink. This is done before you start your first cut. Mark the gears with a straight line (sharpy marker works well.) I like to make my mark off center. Once you get to the end of your cut, stop the router, and bring back the router carriage back to the start. then while the carriage is Not engaged, turn the crank handle until all your marks you put on your gears,are back in line with each-other. form that point you can then index your parts and make the next cut. using this method all your waves will be all the same. NOW there is also a way to book-mark your cuts, so the waves run opposite from each-other, but at this time I think we can just say there is a way, and leave it for latter conversations. ;-) I wish you luck. and enjoy your new tool. Have a Great day.

So went to the old Woodchuck using some rubbish pine wood, put a half inch spiral up-cut Milling cutter into the ER 20 collet extension . Set the limit switches, set the speed on the drive to the spindle. Don't trust the limit switches too much.!!!??? Two inch square blanks, two passes and a fairly clean cut surface. Nice not to crank handles all day---------- just stand back and when near the end of the cuts, just make sure the switches work. Today I will use the Woodchuck again to prepare , size and taper the Dia.for the Revo for testing what cutters I have . I must think about limit switches and a drive for the spindle for the Revo. More expense !! What cutters are you folk using for Wave Patterns ? Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
