Cutting channels for inlay banding
Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 4:52 pm
It's been very quiet on this site lately. I'm sticking my neck out here, but I am genuinely interested, silly question or not:
How do you cut the channels for the banding inlay on the aprons of the steel? Do you:
a. Hold the wood still and pass the router along it, or:
b. Hold the router upside down in a jig and run the wood past the cutter?
I have opted for the second and think it is stable and easy to use. But I'd love to know how others do it.
