In Response To: Strip: routing bead and coves - centering (Gordon Snapp)

I think the toughest part of getting good cove and bead is not with the router but with the table saw. The strips have to be of equal thickness. Thats tough - especially if you con't cut them all at once and break down your strip setup. That's where a planer or surface sander is a nice luxury.

Be as careful as possible and make a strip thickness guage that you keep and get used to how tight you position it against the saw blade. Once you have equal thickness strips, centering them in on the router is actually easy as the others mentioned.
