Corner jig.
I have the need to cut corners off 3 different widths of timber. So after perusing web I came up with this. I soon learnt just to use the one corner and flip the timber so as not to rip off the edge. I use different cam locks for the each width this allows the fingers to stay well away from sharp bitey things. I have now cut hundreds of corners nice and uniform

I'd like to know what this is about but I'm totally confused by what you are showing us. How does the workpiece fit in the jig, what are the 'cam locks' and what are the two pieces of timber in the last photo?
Cheers

I've made similar but only for one corner; I'd just move it from one to the other.
I'd like to see the wooden camlocks in use; I just use double sided tape on mine and cut really carefully, plus the wooden registration edges stick out several inches past the template so there is always plenty to hold on tight to and far enough away from the bit.
I've also made them reversed too so it takes a decorative scallop from a corner, but you really really need to rough them out first!

Ok maybe a better explanation.
first make a template of the curve needed. I use 18mm mdf as I have heaps of it from other projects. Then attach edging so template fits over edge of work piece. I screw and glue 8 or 10mm hardwood. As I use templates on a variety of timber widths from 32mm upwards I made template 100mm wide I then use another piece of timber of sufficient width to make upto 98 mm and cut a diagonal on this to make a cam allowing me to lock the template onto workpiece fingers are thensafely away from cutter.Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
