Using a hand held router with a saddle type jig or on the ts with a high fence and feather board? These will be to accommodate panels inside a frame, ie. door style build. Assuming your stock is square, I'd use the table saw. Router with dual edge guides would work well too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is the board super wide? If it is just a few inches, this seems like it could be done on table saw or router table easily. If it is a wide panel that would make it awkwardly to guide through the tool, then I'd think about handheld router. If It were me, I would make a couple test pieces of the exact same width. That way you can run them through the table saw forward then flipped around with the opposite face against the fence (to ensure your groove is centered). You'll need to make a couple passes with minute adjustments to get the width dead on, which is why the test piece will help you get the width dialed in to be exactly 1/4".

Larry Moore Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 If the piece is wide enough to set the router on or use the router table with a slot cutter that has a ball bearing guide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like most of that is less expensive directly through bridge city. I know the KM-1 kerf maker is $54 over there LV has it at $61.

Isaac Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Anyone else a little disappointed with the latest issue of finewoodworking with the Adirondack chair on the cover? Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just doesn’t really feel like an issue of FWW to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I gave up on FWW several years back. Just seemed like a parade of rehashed subjects and projects to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 And to make up for all the subs they're losing, they've tripled the online access price. Great move, guys. I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 A couple years ago I picked up subscriptions for a few woodworking magazines. I settled on keeping FWW, while I let the others expire, because it was inspiring, generally showing something for me to strive for, or things to just generally be wowed by. The others generally had fairly simple projects that felt I could probably do without a detailed write up, since the construction was mostly straightforward. The most recent issue of FWW felt significantly less ambitious. The Adirondack chair on the cover is a fine chair, but didn't really feel like it matches up to the high end standard of the other cover projects, to me, that I've seen to date. I'm not planning on dropping my subscription but was curious if others felt the same. I haven't been around long enough to feel like I've seen it all before, but I can imagine how that could happen for you guys that have been at it for decades, especially if you do this full time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 When FWW first came out, I was really excited to get the first issue. Being a customer of probably every mail order woodworking company then, I was invited to be a charter subscriber. I remember the day the first issue came, and how excited I was. I had never seen another woodworking magazine, and never looked at any of the others after they came out. Sometime in the mid '90's, I became bored with what they were publishing. I was probably already a customer of most of the advertisers, and getting their catalogs, so I never renewed my subscription after that. I did keep them, and probably always will, but any I've picked up to look at in Lowes, to see if there was anything in it worth buying it for, got put back in the rack. The only one I can remember buying was the issue several years ago that had the test of rust inhibitors in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be the strangest euphamism I have ever heard. "Putty voids", is that what the kids are saying these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
