Thank you Dan. Yes a template would be the best way to do what you are thinking about for the bulged checkering. If you are going to go through all this troubles to make this, You might as well start figuring out a better way to keep the pressure on the spindle when cutting form the side.

Mornin' Curt. The cuts were unidirectional and the router turned off for the backstroke through the fresh cut, no other changes. Except for moving the index pin the sync was not broken at any time until the cross cut setup required changing the reverse gear. Once the RH cuts were done, then

Yes, 720 index positions was my ambitious goal and I realized either a giant plate, a second duplex set, or (Eureka) a 72 hole plate with a 10 hole vernier would get the 1/2° resolution needed to get into the checkering ballpark. Y'all witnessed the struggle. :) This handle took about 2
