Lathe of the router. Practical experience.

There was a task to make a round table with turned wooden leg at the bottom. Lathe, and I do not have to think of something. I remembered that Pinterest I saw the idea as a milling machine can be used instead of turning. Looked... and I found here a pin.

I tried to realize this idea, and that's what happened:

I think to tell in detail how it was done.

First I prepared a blank - 150x150 mm glued beam birch board. This blank cut corners to get the octagon for a more comfortable treatment.

Before turning to the grooves made for fastening the legs Frazier and workpiece ends in the center of the stud twisted plumbing. This axis of rotation and turned simultaneously process the workpiece mounting in the box with the template.

The box is made on the basis of both the first photo with Pinterest.

In the box marked out and drilled centers pins. On the one hand by simply inserting a pin, and the other fixed circle of plywood, to him it was possible to rotate the workpiece.

Top boxes fixed table leg pattern, that is, turning the profile of 6 mm plywood.

Put cutter 10 mm long shank. By abutment fixed router board with bar and screwed into the bar inserted 10 mm drill shank down. The drill took because it's the first thing that came to hand with a suitable diameter.

Board and the emphasis placed so that the shank of the drill was just above the mill.

Next is itself turning. I switched router and manually rotating the workpiece gradually sought to drill shank reached template.

When the upper stopper become fully touch template, without disassembling the box started grinding.

The free end of the stud jammed in the drill and drill include manually brought to the table leg result.

It also will offer to look a little video about the production of the table legs.

Of course this does not replace the lathe and the time this process takes more than to do the same on a lathe.

On the other hand for occasional use of this method is quite suitable and produces good results.
