I tried to trim down some wheels on a table router about 3 weeks ago, cutup my finger and nearly took the top off. I wont be trying that again

I did use the router to round the corners of the wheels once they were cut out using the table saw. The table saw method was much easier than I had imagined once I built a jig and clamped it to the saw. I did round the wheels as much as possible by making straight cuts near the traced pattern lines before cutting them on the tablesaw. Just because I couldn't get the router method to work, doesn't mean it's not possible. I just wasn't possible for me to do it. ;) Derek T065 On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 8:36 PM, Gregory Pwneror <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Why don't you just cut the basic shape and use a router? I believe that's what Marc did for his sons tank. -Gregory On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 2:43 PM, Clark Ward Jr <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Good master Neil, I do believe that I have such a chop saw in my shop. Why it hadn't occurred to me to use it for wheels is a mystery. I know what I'll be playing with when I'm off work (paid time off, even!) on the 24th :) Mayhap even over this weekend! -- Clark in Georgia -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
