A long time ago I seen photos and description of a jig using a router with a 90 degree router bit that the v grooves in the veneer(s). The veneers layed flat with the cutter above (if I remember right).

I've been searching thru threads, but can't find it- thought I'd ask if anyone knows what I'm talking about!

Thanks,
Zim

I seen one Dick had made for the table saw! I just found one that is used on a mill and a v groove point cutter... this one I like and could modify for a router jig, maybe!

Lee- I like yours, but currently out of my budget (currently)

Nope...
It showed the router w/bit coming down and cutting a v groove in a stack of veneers. It had a metal frame to hold the router and a metal "brace" jig to hold veneers secure.

Thanks- much appreciated!

Here's one I found after some research... probably could modify this style to be used on a router table.

Take a hard piece of wood, Pink ivory works well, run thru a jointer or plainer to make sure it's square, drill one hole each side for a dowel to be added later, Cut on a 45, run thru a sander or jointer so there's no rough spots on the inner surface. Add the two dowels, the top will fit like a sandwich, You can use a piece of tape on the inner bottom to work as a stop so it lines up consistent. Important note, when running across a flush router, use 1 extra veneer on the bottom of the stack, the bottom one always has a bad or frayed edge so the sacrifice is worth the results. Mount your flush router to a bench so it's stationary and make sure it's straight. You have created a make shift mill for your miters. Personally, the results are more consistant if you tilt your saw and use a sled, or get Lee's set up.
This was my first mitered cue done with the above method.

I know the post (I think). I remember it showed about 3 or 4 colored veneers stacked and clamped and cut on a 45 with a router. Can't remember who posted it but I'll take a look for it too.
 
tape

Zim, I use carpet tape to keep thing put while I route them. So take a piece of wood with a good edge on it I use a piece of formica on the edge .Place dbl sided carpet tape on the face near the edge. Put your veneers on the tape and useing a 45 degree router bit cut you veneers to the edge....Simple...... Next week I can send you some pics if you like...The best thing is you can brake the setup down in minutes....Good luck .....Happy Easter....Off to church we go..............:D:D:D .....Ray

Hey Zim,

Is this what you were thinking of?

It's Lee Malakoff's from his website.

Here are some pictures of an easy jig setup. The pictures are not very good but they will give you an idea.
