Thomas-the-Train-Router-Bits?
 

Has anyone bought any router bits for making Thomas the Train railroad
tracks?

Where did you buy them? Where the tracks produced a good match to store
bought tracks?

Thanks

Woodcraft sells the two bits needed, and they do a good job, (Whiteside).

I think I am being a lot more specific than "plans for a tea cart".

Don't you?

Woodcraft use to sell the bits, but not anymore.

I've made straight track without any special bits:
1. Cut the track grooves using a dado.
2. Chamfer the edges of the grooves using a V-groove bit. Also the outside
edges
should be chamfered to avoid splinters.
3. The female connection is just a hole with the ends cut out, and bevelled.
4. I free-hand cut the male connection; it is supposed to be a little loose,
after all, kids
will be pretty rough with it.


I can't see how to make curved track without something like the
single-groove
bit they mention, though.


Regards,
Gary
