I don't have a bandsaw and wondering if I messed up making this curved cheese board.
I made a pattern on 1/2" mdf (should have used 3/4) then cut the pattern out with my jig saw. I then sanded the curve section on the mdf smooth so the bearing on the router bit will follow nicely.
I clamped the template down, followed it with my bearing bit cutting about 1/4" into the cutting board. The picture shows the channel isn't 100% even.
I then cut down the middle of the routed channel with my jigsaw so make halves.
I then used a bearing bit on the router table to flush trim the left over from the jigsaw cut.
I clamped it together with the 2 scraps I have noticed a gap in the middle. Will adding another piece of thin stock fox that?
Not sure what happened. Guessing the jigsaw or sanding the mdf template wasn't right.
Do each halves of cutting board have to fit together/line up in order to for the final glue up to work and match?
I can always square the board off I figure. This lil project makes me want to get a bandsaw and an oscillating sander.
