90 degree cutter question

[Arnot Wadsworth]

Arnie, did you get that one made or that's off the shelf?
Thnx.

Here is the link again: http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_ogee.html and the part number is 5432.

Thnx Arnie.

It should be fine for cutting the grooves on any forearm if you don't try to to it all on one pass.

Has anyone tried the female version of that bit? curious as to how clean of a cut It makes. Thanks Greg

I've used those bits many times when doing hardwood edgebanding on bookcases.

The cut is smooth depending on feed rate but I was always impressed. My bits aren't that brand though, they are CMT I think.

Mr.Wadsworth, would that cutter be good for cutting grooves on a square blank for full splice cues? If I read it right the cutter width is more than 1.0" , would the grooves be crossing over (for a 4 pointer) when used on a turned forearm half spliced?

I asked coz using a 3/4 width cutter already leaves a small space between the points base...
Thanks,

Hey, Hadj, long time no visit. Just was reading what you have written. For groving squares, why no use your table saw, if you have one?.This is how I did my fronts years ago, long before I started groving out tapered rounds, with a 90degees cutter. BTW,some guys have there cutters ground to 89 degrees, so there points fit real tight, with a 90 degree wooden angle. Of course if it's all at a 90, you won't have any trouble making it all fit tight, if you take your time.

Tapered rounds is how I do them now. You can build a jig to hold a square front, and set you table saw at a perfect 45 degrees, and cut them very smooth.Make sure your jig is built so your fingers never get close to the blade. Just use a block of delrin or wood, cut a 90degree slot in the [down side, the part sliding on the table] at the proper up angle, and your done.Call if you need more assistance?

Yep, You got me, I'd love to hear someone elaberate on that one. There could be some issues with that though. The mate between the 2 Sure looks good in the picture, if It's actually that good in reality Hmm, wonder if the depth of cut would be a problem, and if they cut smooth enough, I guess some sanding would not be out of the question, but even the slightest bit of tearout would be a concern of mine. The jig would be easy enough.

Maybe I need to get one to play around with. I can always find some use for it, should It not meet My needs on this. Going to have plenty of trim work around the house to do, might make for a fun project on that if nothing else.

Blud,

Thanks.. you've been out for a long time. It would be hard for me right now maintaining that set up. But that thing's cool... and have some extra point squares too.
I've done the tapered rounds... wondered how to get the exact thing on a fullsplice for the prong part... where the length and angle of the prong would fit into the v-grooves

Thanks,
