Now, the actual cutting.
Before someone starts ragging me about having no guarding, I want to say, when using a wood shaper even well designed guards will only provide minimal protection. The best protection is to have a clear mind, pay attention and keep your hands far away from the cutting head. One mistake and your fingers will hit the wall before you know what happened. You can see I am using a very large guide board, this allows me to keep my hands at least a foot from the head. The work piece is screwed to the guide board, the guide board runs along the rub collar to control the depth of the cut.
Making the cuts.
Using the table saw with an axillary fence and a push block to part the trim.
After parting, you can see we have a small step top and bottom that will be removed on the table saw
The steps are sawed on the table saw then the last bit is removed on the belt sander.
The finished trim.
