An old one, but WAY too wide, or not nearly deep enough for poker
chips, unless you have very large poker chips.
Dan.
Gosh Steve,
What kind of router does it take to swing that bit? Does the 1 1/2" indicate
the radius or diameter of the cove?
:-)

Well,
Norm had a 1 1/2" radius ovolo bit. :-)
Some of these panel raising bits scare the p.. out of me. I can't imagine
using a 3 hp power tool that's not stationary.
That's why I like your jointer plane. It has hp that I'm comfortable with.

This article might be of use:
"Cutting Coves on the Tablesaw," in the January/February 2004 issue of
Fine Woodworking (#168).
I'd start with wide stock, use double fences, push blocks, and very
light passes. You'll want all ten when you are done :-)

Why would it be way too wide? It seems like if you set the fences at
about 18 degrees from the blade path and raise the blade slightly in
passes till about 1" depth you should have a cove about 1" deep and
about 2" wide.
I've used this method successfully, although I admit I've only used it
for edge coves.
Cheers,
Nate

Not sure it you can buy stock of the specific size you need, but you can
purchase a router bit to cut the groove that you want. Of course, it depends
on the radius of your chips, but there's a variety of sizes you can choose.
Here's a few samples. If these aren't large enough, then it's a simple
matter of making two parallel cuts instead of one exact cut to fit.

I think I have a whiteside 1 1/2" cove bit I could sell you.

OR use a drill bit the size that you need , drill into a over size block
of wood, then cut in two.

Just one more point:
Make the stock thicker than needed for handling over the router (or
shaper?) ...for safety. Then cut down to size on the table saw. If
doing 2 or more, it's handy to do one side, turn over for the other,
then saw down the middle.

I looked I only had the 1" and the 2" i think the both are 2" around and have a
2" radius. but I use so little it is not scary at all. I will wear the thing out
one of these days but only the tip will be worn (G)
