Ok, *I tried making a few stopped flutes which terminate with a taper
using a wedge as discussed in a previous thread. *(Suggested by
SonomaProducts)


Here is the result:

Came out ok. *You can definitely see where the taper begins in the
flute (not a completely smooth transition). *This can probably be
fixed with a piece of sandpaper or just leaving it alone.


As the router starts to climb the ramp, it is only supported at two points
due to the round base plate. Using a square baseplate will make transitions
smoother.


Yes. I noticed this problem. My router PC plunge is round on one
side and flat on the other. Initially I was climbing with the round
side and it had a tendency to wobble as you stated. I flipped my
fence to the other side of the router and climb with the flat side.
Much easier this way. Good tip.
