Thread: large bevel/taper under table

That is made with liquid wood: pour it into a mould and allow 24 hours to set.

Okay ... rough out on a table saw or router table (probably latter), then sand (probably edge sander with angled fence).

On all machines, what is needed is a pivot to allow the edge to move in a curve. A full circle is easier.

the length of the taper is huge, must be like 60 degrees or something - I dont think there are bits that size. only way to get that on a table saw would be to have the work piece up vertically. On their insta story its actually a rectangular table with rounded sizes so I dont think a table/panel saw is suitable.

maybe a spindle moulder? I would imagine the cutters would be huge but moving an entire dining around seems sketchy

also just came across this:

pretty easy on a spindle moulder with either worktable side extension or a tenon table, with tilting spindle with large dia disc/cutter to cover the length of the cut required.

There's a video out there somewhere using a jigsaw with a guide like this to do a a circular table top undercut.

CNC router, but could be done pretty easily with a handheld router, a circle jig and a panel raising bit in multiple steps 2 Flute - Raised Panel Bit - Carbide Tipped - Carbitool

he just replied to me on insta - he did it by hand with a plane. pretty good effort

I’ve done a bigger one before, made a moving sled to take the router at the angle and set up a router with a bottom cutting bit and ran it around. The sled was fixed to a centre pivot point, like a compass really. Not overly difficult. You could make a guide for your hand plane easily enough to keep the angle too.

I've done similar with a plane and tidying up with a spokeshave, then sanding. It's not as tough a job as it seems.

I've seen a bloke do this with a handheld router on a circle jig. The jig was just a piece of ply with the router base screwed in at one end, and a centre pin at the other end. He did it in 12 or so passes, starting at the outer circumference (deepest cut), then shortening the radius of the jig (move the board on the centre pin) to take the next pass with a shallower cut depth. That left a stepped finish, which was smoothed to a perfect finish on a ROS (no doubt taking a long time).

I'll see if I can dig up the youtube link.
