Title: Tangential knife design
Post by: elpablito on July 21, 2010, 11:13:16 AM

Hi,

Im planning to make a tagential knife to use with my router.
I have a servo that I think can handle the knife rotation.
Does anyone have pictures or drawings of a tangential knife mechanism in order to get started?

thanks for your help

This video was posted here a little while back. What I learn't from it was using a wire spring to hold the work down (hadn't thought of that before).

Good fortune with your project.
