I want to edge the the bedposts I've made, with the "profile" starting and finishing 6" before the ends of the posts.
One obvious choice is a "cove" bit [in my case a 1/2"R] which gives a symmetrical entry and exit. The "cove and bead" bit gives a terrific look but unsymmetrical entry and exit [I believe it's the 'nature of the beast' and not due to an adjustment I haven't tried?] ... high precision handwork, of which I am not capable, would be required 8X on each post!
Any ideas on other decorative router bits that would make short work of this task?
