BillyJack Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Posted December 23, 2019 For something bigger that would be the ideal. I'm back in the shop these days. Guess I'll figure something out...thx Quote
Gerald Posted December 24, 2019 Report Posted December 24, 2019 Not sure what you are trying to accomplish .For the kits sold to make this type bowl in many shapes you use a bottom bearing bit and a template. The template is mounted to the blank and then either a start hole is drilled or the blank can be lowered into the bit. Then it is just a matter of routing out the inside with the bearing riding on the template. DuckSoup 1 Quote

I think Jack wants a dish/shallow bowl effect. Quote

This jig was introduced on Woodnet by a guy who was going to get it patented. Don't think it ever happened. MAZORLOF or something was his name. Ths is a shallow key or change type bowl. It doesn't have a sharp radius from a router that you are thinking. Shallow as in the picture with no flats in the bottom... Edited December 24, 2019 by BillyJack Quote

Kind of like chair base routing....just spin till all radius are cut out... Did you, by chance, make a template for this jig? I have been trying to figure out the correct arc for both the base and the router sled to make my own. My wife would like some stools for the kitchen island. Grandpadave52, lew and HARO50 3 Quote
