Yes, I'd missed that bit.

Then it sounds like a job for a router, mounted on a trammel. Use an
extra- long straight bit (used by kitchen fitters to joint worktops -
they're worth having) and make the router sled with a built-in 45°
angle.

If you're hand planing something like this, I'd make a croze for it -
a barrel-maker's plane, with a custom-made one-radius sole. It's
soemthing to do with all the Stanley irons I have spare from upgraded
bench planes.

Oh, for goodness' sake! What a lot of trouble to go to! Why not just buy a
45-deg chamfer router bit with a longer cutting edge? Simple, quick, and
easy.


Thank you Doug. I was reading through the whole thread before beginning a
reply and the very thought that kept haunting me was "is this the Rube
Goldberg newsgroup?". It was worth a good chuckle to see how complex the
suggestions were becoming.
