In Response To: Strip: bead not coming out right on router (Marc)

It sounds like the strips are slightly thicker than 1/4". If you use the thick strips with the ridge, the joint will fit fine, but you'll do a lot of work to fair the strips down to flush. Moving the fence back may have eliminated the ridge, but only because the bit isn't cutting full depth. Strips with a flat spot are NG, because unless the gap is full of glue, you risk an air pocket. If the ridge on the thick strips is only very small, you'd be better off using those and fairing the ridge out than having a joint that doesn't fit properly. If the ridge is bigger, (and you have a surface planer) you could go ahead & cut the coves & beads, then plane all the strips a little thinner to save fairing work.
