In Response To: Tools: tandem bead & cove cutting (Douglas Lee)

: Hello,
: I have a Veritas router table with a Porter Cable router (no micro
: adjustment), I dedicated this for bead cutting and locked it in.
: Just assembled a Bosch table router using again another Porter
: Cable with no micro adjustment. dedicating this one for coves.
: I tried every which way to tandem cut the strips but can not set it
: up so that the bit will cut counter clockwise into the strip
: for the bead and cove. One bit will cut counter clockwise but the
: other cuts clockwise into the strip.
: How do you all set them up to cut counter clockwise to the feed
: direction on both bead and cove?

: Thanks,
: Douglas

a k is right, one router has to be mounted up-side down and the other one right- side-up so both cutters are turning into the stock.
You keep talking about Porter Cable routers (no micro adjustment). I am running two P C/Rockwell model 100s (maybe 40 years old) and can adjust them to within a gnat's eyelash. We can put 360 feet of strips through this fixture in about 20 minutes, once it is dialed in.
