Re: Opposing Arches

Ooops - Sorry forgot the other dimensions of the arch:
48" length, 1 3/4" depth (at fat part) tapering to 1 1/4",
2" wide tapering to 1 1/4"

Re: Opposing Arches

Thanks for the response. I want the arch to taper toward both ends, both on the faces and on the sides. If possible the 'fat' part would be at about one third of the total arch. Total length of the arch would be 48".
The arch would be for the upright back leg of a rocking chair design I am trying to develop.

You guide video on the arches is great - I have Tony Killen's guide to Sketch Up and note that you now offer one so am wondering if it would be a good addition to my how to library.

How do you taper an arch?

Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?

RAS was the first 'big' power tool I purchased and would not be without it. It is very versatile and you can use the power take off as a drum sander.
Nothing like it for accurate dados.
Yes you do have to be careful on the set up, but once set it is a breeze to repeat accurate cuts.
Like all tools, powered or not, safety should be at the forefront of your mind BEFORE proceeding.
