How to make quarter rounds and to make a diagonal cut with commontools?
Hi,
I have 3"x3" lumber and I would like to do one of two things: 1. Make a 3" quarter round, or 2. Make a "diagonal" cut so that the lumber has a triangular 3"x3"x profile. I have a table saw and a band saw. Thanks, Aaron |

I have a table saw and a band saw. If the table of your bandsaw can be tilted 45 degrees from the horizontal, cutting the triangular profile is trivial. Cutting a quarter-round profile cannot be done in a single operation, but you can get there with a series of steps, using the bandsaw. Draw the profile you want on the end of the board, then make straight cuts at various tilt angles to approximate that profile. Finally, smooth it with hand tools such as a plane, spokeshave, drawknife, or file (or a combination of those). There is no safe way to do this on the table saw. |

I have a table saw and a band saw. Get a 3" piece of PVC and cut it in half lenghwise. Duct tape it to your stock. Feed the whole shebang through your table saw with the PVC against the fence. Rotate the stock slightly and do it again. And again. etc. Ultimately you'll have a 3" half-round. Cut in half. I have no idea whether this will work. |

Yet, again, your screamingly obvious absence of good sense or experience fails to prevent you from posting. Heh! I bet you've never made a circular cut out on a table saw. And I have a great deal of common sense; I figured out, on my own, that one should not drink the pickle juice until all the pickles are gone. This prevents being hit in the eye by a pickle. (Except for pickle slices of course. No hazard there.) Bet you didn't know that! |

I have a table saw and a band saw. Triangular cut - flop TS to 45, cut through one corner about 1/4" less than halfway through (assuming normal size TS), insert tight-fitting shim into saw kerf and tape across kerf in several places to hold pieces together for safety while you complete the cut, flip stock over and cut from opposite corner, again just short of halfway, complete cut with a handsaw and cleanup with a hand plane. Quarter round - mark desired profile on end grain of stock, make a cut with the saw blade height just shy of the drawn profile mark (marked curve is facing concave side up), move fence ~1/4" and adjust blade height to just short of the line, make cut, repeat process. The trick is to make the repeated cuts on two sides and try to leave the largest square possible in the area to be wasted. Use the shim/tape to stabilize the kerf(s) as necessary for safety. There are variations on this technique, and safety is paramount, so plan out your cuts before you have an unexpected one. R |

See above. See above what? You left out the best part - where you said, "There is no safe way to do this on the table saw." - referring to cutting the quarter round. If you see above I described one safe way to do it. There are others. I would not choose which tools and method to use until I knew what the lumber was and what the machines were like. I'm not assuming the OP has a Unisaw or a Laguna bandsaw - he could have Craftsman hobbyist machines. You are allowed to assume anything you'd like. That's only fair. R |

You've made up your mind that something that isn't impossible, is, and then you snapped your mind shut - case closed. The center of rotation has to be centered on the lathe, but that doesn't mean the workpiece has to have its center centered. There are a number of ways to accomplish that as well. R |

Is there some rule that only the workpiece can be mounted between the blocks? It's possible to add some deadwood/weight to counterbalance the workpiece, no? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jni6Qnth844 There's nothing to prevent using the concepts of that fack-tree made eccentric chuck and making your own. The counterweights can be attached to the end mounting blocks, they don't have to be full length. Howza bout gluing four blanks together and turning four quarter rounds at one time? That doesn't sound impossible, is it? Let's keep the bar set for the word impossible at its original "not possible" setting. It makes communication easier. R |

A quarter- or half-inch inboard of the corner, I'll buy, but that would leave a radius of less than 3". Afix 3"x6" or thereabouts boards to ends of 3x3. Mount on lathe at board centers. And make sure you're not standing in front of it when you turn the lathe on, 'cause it's coming off. |
