In Response To: Re: Strip: cove & bead on 3/16? (Rob Macks)

When I milled the cove and bead edges on my last batch of strips, I centered the bead bit on the strips, then measured its height above the router table. Then when I used the cove bit, all I had to do was set it at the same measured height. Even so, I noticed some variation because the strips weren't perfectly uniform in thickness, close but not dead-on. For this next batch, I'll run 'em through the thickness planer first (recent acquisition ;)).
