Pros: You may work fast, (but who´s on a hurry).
Cons: Is like going to bed with Catherine Z. Jones with "Iron Maiden" music. |

Greetings Olaf: I am but a fledgling rodmaker with only 16 completed rods, all rough beveled with a Medved style beveler. It works great. I simplified the
design by bolting the beds to the face plate. Instead of the bed raising or lowering, the router moves up and down in wooden raceways affixed to the back side
of the face plate. The housing of the router base rests on a 3/8" carriage bolt that is affixed to the bottom frame, fitted with a hex coupler. The weight
of the router keeps it firmly on the hex coupler. The 3/8" bolt is 16TPI. Therefore, each flat of the coupler rotated to a designated spot on the bolt
circumference will raise or lower the cutter 9.6 thou. I showed my unit to Al at the SRG and he said it was the best modification of his design that he has
seen. The only criticisim he had was " I wish you would varnish that thing". I did not see the need since the entire frame was made from scrap
plywood.
Pros: The entire beveler cost only $35.00 to build in 2005, exclusive of the router. Although I am likewise not in a hurry to complete rods, the beveler is a great time saver. It produces very uniform strips. The square bed can be utilized to mill nodeless splints to perfect widths. Cons: I cannot think of any, except that it is probably slower than production machines, but who cares. Good Luck, Lou B. |
