Could you do the birdmouth on the mill too would that be easier than running long lengths of timber over the router table or saw bench to do the birdmouth joints Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of curt george

Hay Bill One more short note. I agree with you about the Donated EVO mill. That is Awesome! But Its the RD that I want to see. My bet would be that those Lin. rails will need some kind of break or ??? to keep the router from taking off like a rocket while free hand cutting. I also belive that
