Jay - my ISP's news is only current during the day, so excuse what appears a
piggyback.

If you're going to go a full 3", as your most recent post says, and you have
an Oscillating Spindle Sander, you can pattern sand your bandsawn roughs. I
made an insert for my JET which takes the inserts used for a router and
found it a pretty good way to go. Down into the 1/2" spindle size, though.

I flipped the piece and used it as its own template for the second pass
when
I needed a pattern on 2" stock.


What's the minumum diameter pattern routing bit that would cut a full
1.5 inches of depth?
