Fluting Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
Fluting is an operation that is so seldom required that it does not warrant buying special equipment for the purpose. So when I needed to flute some short columns, I made this fluting fixture from a drywall-trimming router, hardwood scraps and Plexiglas. The construction details shown in the sketch can easily be modified for your particular needs.

Ridgid EB4424 Oscillating Spindle/Belt Sander
With five spindles sized from 1/2 in. to 2 in. and a 4 X 24-in. belt, this sander has become a staple in many a shop Fine Woodworking visits.
Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
MicroJig Matchfit dovetail clamps
These unique clamps have angled tips that hold templates and fences in place without getting in the way.
