In than case your best bet might be to clamp the book between two sacrificial boards. Don't know how well it may work. Cut quality may leave something to be desired. Be sure to use good sharp carbide tooling, an O-flute might work well.

Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. -John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968) On 07/26/2016 03:34 PM, Todd Zuercher wrote: > I'll second the guillotine.
