Hi, I am going to make a mess and make a couple of sanding dishes. 15' and 25' the usual sizes. what I want to do is bang 2 nails on a straight line (24" diameter of the dish size) and flex a piece of dowel in the middle @(12" point ) to get the correct radii. My question is does anyone know what the measurement I would have to make 90 degrees from the straight line to get the correct curve for 15' and 25'when i flex my piece of dowel to draw the arc? failing this i could always get the tape measure out and do it that way but i think the first method will make making the rails a little easier. thanks for any help |

all great methods guys..thanks Larkim your right that is to easy...i like it and rod i like the idea of the 30" rails...thats what i am going to do ...this gives enough either side of the 24" dish for the base of the jig to be stable while routing i think... I used larkims link to the spreadsheet and came up with these figures if anyones interested. for the 30" rails (measuring up from centre point @ 15" mark to get the point to flex my dowel to get the arc) 15' = 0.62" as close as can get 25' = 0.37" |
