I have a LOC VII in the works and wanted to bevel the wooden fins. Thought I would try a router this time, which I don't have. That sent me down this journey like a snowball down a hill:
This all started before Thanksgiving and I finally finished the fin bevels today. I could have hand sanded the damn bevels, saved a lot of money, and finished months ago!!!
I bought a router and table combo.
I bought a kit of bits, plus two more special shallow angle taper bits at 15 deg and 11.25 deg.
Routering fins puts your fingers in harms way, so I bought a nice push block.
I needed a place for the router, so I built a mobile workbench that also doubles as a miter table with folding infeed and outfeed extensions.
As I was building the workbench, I told myself that I needed some new blades for my table saw and circular saw. Saber saw blades, too.
As I was building the workbench, I told myself that I needed a few more clamps.
The routering made a lot of dust in my shop , so I purchased the "Dustopper" and worked up a cyclone separator rig for my shop vac. Bought a longer hose.
