    Every time I thought there weren't swirl marks, there were. I can't imagine me using a lighter touch or a slower movement. Darker stains tend to magnify the swirles.

    Do they ever loosen up? The lock lever I mean. It's pretty stiff. Do you use two fixed and two swivel? Or all 4 swivel? I have all four swivel. Kind of wish I did two fixed.

    It's a cabinet. A media console of sorts. Roughly 36"Wx34"Hx24"D. The piece with the radii is a corner joint that holds the sides to the top and bottom. Decorating yet structural.

    I just ordered the Carvex last month. After adjusting the blade guides I was able to get a better cut. However, I would not be confident using the Carvex for what you are planning.

    Hey guys!

    How would you go about making this roundover corner piece? I can't tell from the pic if the inside has a radius to it or if it's square.

    What would you do? Besides CNC.

    Thanx Doug! Like the 'rush-tic' stain? I didn't take the time to sand adequately. Not like I would on a paid gig.
