Re: Podium Project
Tim, yes I did use a straight cutting bit to remove the center wood first. The router is the standard PC set-up. I purchased it with the mill so I'm not sure how many miles were on it before I got it. It does have a fair bit of play in it. I could make the photos larger, I was just trying to limit the KB size. I'll resize and send. Curt, the other photos are on the other message a little further down. Yes, I did put a routed edge on the top. Roman Ogee on the top piece and a cove on the bottom.

Re: Podium Project
You got me curious. Did you use a straight cutting bit first followed by a dovetail bit when cutting your slots? I've noticed movement in the spindle and hubs that causes the slots to become wider. Not so much in the play of the router. Is this a Porter-Cable router? The pictures are really small. Do you have any larger pictures to make it easier to see some details. 600-800 pixels wide is a good size for groups like this one. -Tim - Original Message - From: "Dexter Bland" To: "legacy-ornamental-mills" Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 4:17 PM Subject: Podium Project > The legs are attached with a dovetail joint.

The legs are attached with a dovetail joint. I cut the groove with the legacy. As has been discussed here before, this machine is not really that good at doing dovetail joints.
