DOUBLETAPER. Black Decker and
Porter-Cable
routers both have a double
tapered collet. A taper o n

over 3 taper
on
the collet.
And then
a
second taper on the collet fits into a

MmR AND SPUNE JOINTS
Aiter ~he cove is seraped ami sanded
smooth. cut the workpieces to get a I:rand
9'length o ut o f
each
piece. T he -e fo ur p ie ce s
are then mitered to get two front-back
pieces (A) 1 2 V long and two end pieces (8)
SV.long.see Fig. 5.
CUTTOLENGTH.
To
miter these pieces to
length, I added an auxiliary fence to the
miter gauge and used u stop block (:IS
shown in Fig. 6) to make sure I cut match
ing pieces to exactly the same length.
S ta rt b y

a

end of
each workpiece. Thcnclamp a mitered stop

aux il ia ry fence

fron~ back pieces (A

length of8\,
GROOVE .OR SPLINE. The sides are
joined with the aid ofsplines. (Spline. add
strength
to
the miters and keep the piece.
aligned as they're clamped together.)
1bmake
this joint,
~'UU
have to cut a
to,.
deep
groove
ineach mitered end, see COl
ner Detail in Fig. 5. Keep the saw blade at
a 45' angle and slide the rip fence over to

~ote;It helps here to use

lest piece to
m ak e s ure the groove is no t cut too deep so
you don't cut through into the cove.
TRIM TO II'IDTlI. After
the
grooves are
c ut. th e fo ur sides ca n be trimmed t08 final
widlh ofZV'. Trim a little offbclh ed~ so
there's 8 ~ -wjdc border above the cove
and a
\
-wide border below the cove, see
Fig. 8.
SPLINES.
The last step is to
CUl
the
splines. Since the spbnes
will
show on lhe
top edge of the ease. I decided 10 make
them out of walnut (using scrap left over
f rom mak in J ( the sides) .
The splines are cut so the grain runs
across
the
jomt line (for grearest
strength), ~ the blade a little over .
high (the combined depth of the gro ov es in
the mitered ends). and set the fence '.
from
lhe blade tthe thickness of the saw
blade kerO..... . Step l in ~ig..
Now stand the workpiece on end and
make cuts on bolh ends, Then re-sdjust the
fence to cut off the 'plint'
