Custom scotia: router or tablesaw?
I need to make a piece of custom scotia molding for under the treads
of our staircase. I need to match existing trim that is 100+ years old and I have not been able to find the size in the store. The dimensions a 3/4 x 1/2" The lip dimensions are 1/3" on the 1/2" side and 1/8" on the 3/4" side (these dimensions are different from what I have seen on modern Scotias) - What is the best way to fabricate and replicate the molding myself? - If I use a router, what type of bit should I use? cove?? If so, what size. - Other people have suggested using a tablesaw with the wood at angle to the blade. If so, how do you decide what angle to use? Finally what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? |
