x-no-archive:yes
I have just completed my cutting board. My book says to ro over it with
a "roundover" bit. I think I have one. How is the best way to do this
and set it up on a router table?
Also, when I ran the cutting board through the planer I got a little
snip on one side. It does not look too bad but is there a way to make
this look better? Sanding maybe?

That was step #4.

Also, ALWAYS test the router table set up with a scrap before routing
the real project.
Also, use a straight edge to line up the bearing of the router bit to
the fence of the router table.
To get rid of the snipe, you could run it through the planer again with
a better technique after the machine has been adjusted if necessary. On
long pieces, it is good to slightly lift the board as it is coming out.

Considering the question source, I was keeping it simple. Hell, he'd be
happy just to get *any* cut :)

If you'd bothered to read further, you'd have seen that I admitted to not
reading about the use of the planer.
Looks like both of us need to read a little more carefully before
responding.

You're right, I didn't see that. I read 'roundover bit' and missed the rest.

I guess I was wrong about your having reading problem. It's quite obvious
you have an arrogance problem.
No problem at all.

1. Insert bit into router
2. Adjust protrusion of bit beyond base plate to give desired cut
3. Turn work piece upside down
4. Move ends of workpiece along router bearing or fence (right to left)
5. Repeat #4 with work piece sides.

So how long should I wait to reply? A week? A year? Maybe if I wait long
enough, you you will figure it out on your own? No, I'm not the one with the
reading problem.

He missed step 2A
Run a scrap piece across the bit to check for proper adjustment.
If unsure, keep the bit low and bring it up a little at a time until you get
exactly what you want.

Snipe is caused by the outfeed side of the fence not being exactly flat
against the cutting board as you pass it by the roundover bit. To prevent
this, you need a shim along the outfeed side equivalent to the thickness of
the amount of wood you're removing with the roundover bit. Or if both sides
of the router fence are independently adjustable, then run the cutting board
a few inches past the roundover bit, adjust the outfeed side of the fence so
it is flush with the part of the board that has passed by the router bit,
then continue pushing the rest of the cutting board past the bit.

Step 2B. Do crossgrain cuts first.
So, what does all this have to do with planer snipe?

No problem. Sometimes it happens! :-)!!! But coming from the source you
know?????
