johnsilver Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 OK, my binding is all installed and scraped flush with top and sides. I'll want to roundover the edge before applying finish. Anyone have a favorite technique or tool for doing so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Cabinet scraper and a light touch, followed by 320 grit paper (also with a light touch). Did I mention 'a light touch'? It's easy to remove a lot of material very quickly, so you'll want to use.... a light touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 ...or you could do it the easy way and use a 3/4" roundover bit in a 3HP router. I KID, I KID!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 ...or you could do it the easy way and use a 3/4" roundover bit in a 3HP router. ← Dang. And my router is only 1 3/4 horses. I can't get the picture out of my mind of a 3/4" roundover bit "softening the edge" of my new binding job. What I did was use a single edge razor blade as a light scraper and with a LIGHT touch went around the binding roughly at a 45 angle. Then I followed up with a piece of 1000 grit I had laying around once again using a LIGHT touch. It worked well. Next time, I'll look for a piece of 320. Thanks guys.
