Default How to make quarter rounds and to make a diagonal cut with common tools?

Hi,

I have 3"x3" lumber and I would like to do one of two things:

1. Make a 3" quarter round, or


A. Use a router and 1 1/2" radius router bit, $114.71 here...

B. Cut into octogan, quarter it, plane/spokeshave/sand to round

C. Use a lathe

2. Make a "diagonal" cut so that the lumber has a triangular 3"x3"x
profile.


A. Tilt bandsaw table

B. (better IMO) Make an auxiliary table with a cradle of two pieces mounted
at 90 degrees to each other and 45 degrees to the table, use on either
bandsaw or table saw. On table saw, cut in two passes; i.e., depth at 1
1/2" or less, cut once, flip vertically, cut again.
