Hey CF - would you be able to post some photos of your set-up? I've heard this method described before but just can't visualise it - probably because I don't have a router at present. However, it's certainly a consideration if it works as good as you indicate.
Thanks, RobMy service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

Something was missed here:
Remember to drill your pin holes while both scales are flat!!
And, watch what you are doing while pinning..blade in upside down....don't ask!

Thanked: 2027A bastard File and sandpaper is all you need.Learn to trust your eyes,the contours will turn out perfect.
My Dad was a master machinist (Gunsmith),First thing he taught me is your eye will always center.
I never measure wood or metal stock for lathe work,and I know I can get within .002 just with vision.
Same holds true with contours and Curves IMO.
If you were making scales on a production basis,than get a mini shaper,with bearing Guides.
Oh an Richard,have been there done thatCAUTION

Thanked: 20I'm wondering if you have any pictures of the router set up you use that you could post? Dremel makes a router adapter
Dremel 335-01 Plunger router

And a small, corner rounding bit. Dremel 615 1/8" piloted corner rounding bit.

My question is how do you hold a scale/s in place to pass the router along the edges?
Scales are usually in the neighborhood of 0.100 to 0.150.
Curious about how that would be accomplished.
