Abstract

In one example, a machinery fence support system comprises a base providing a substantially stationary position relative to a cutting tool; a moveable fence for guiding a workpiece relative to the cutting tool, and a linear motion mechanism between the base and the fence. The linear motion mechanism facilitates motion of the fence in a direction substantially perpendicular to a length of the fence. Examples of this disclosure facilitate notching a workpiece for a beaded face frame using a rotary bit.

Claims (34)

1. A woodworking kit for cutting a beaded face frame in a workpiece, said workpiece having a width and a face and extending a length between opposing ends; said kit comprising:

at least one rotary bit having a distal end and a proximal end;

at least one router bit having a distal end and a proximal end;

said rotary bit having a shaft adjacent said rotary bit distal end and a cutting element adjacent said rotary bit proximal end;

said router bit having a shaft adjacent said router bit distal end and a cutting element adjacent said router bit proximal end;

said rotary bit having a trapezoidal profile for cutting a notch in the workpiece;

said router bit having a profile for cutting a decorative beaded feature;

wherein as the trapezoidal profile of the cutting element of the rotary bit extends from said rotary bit distal end to said rotary bit proximal end the cutting element extends from a first width to a narrower second width; and

wherein the first width of the cutting element of the rotary bit corresponds to the width of the workpiece.

2. The woodworking kit of claim 1 wherein the profile of the cutting element of the rotary bit is symmetric.

3. The woodworking kit of claim 1 wherein the profile of the cutting element of the router bit is symmetric.

4. The woodworking kit of claim 1 further comprising a bearing connected to the router bit.

5. The woodworking kit of claim 1 further comprising a bearing connected to the router bit adjacent the proximal end.

6. The woodworking kit of claim 1 wherein the second width of the cutting element of the rotary bit corresponds to the width of the workpiece minus twice the width of the beaded feature of the router bit.

7. The woodworking kit of claim 1 wherein the cutting element of the rotary bit extends a height from its distal end to its proximal end;

wherein the cutting element of the router bit extends a height from its distal end to its proximal end;

wherein the height of the rotary bit corresponds to the height of the router bit.

8. A woodworking kit for cutting a beaded face frame in a workpiece, said workpiece having a width and a face and extending a length between opposing ends; said kit comprising:

at least one rotary bit having a distal end and a proximal end;

at least one router bit having a distal end and a proximal end;

said rotary bit having a shaft adjacent said rotary bit distal end and a cutting element adjacent said rotary bit proximal end;

said router bit having a shaft adjacent said router bit distal end and a cutting element adjacent said router bit proximal end;

said rotary bit having a trapezoidal profile for cutting a notch in the workpiece;

said router bit having a profile for cutting a decorative beaded feature;

wherein as the trapezoidal profile of the cutting element of the rotary bit extends from said rotary bit distal end to said rotary bit proximal end the cutting element extends from a first width to a narrower second width; and

wherein the second width of the cutting element of the rotary bit corresponds to the width of the workpiece minus twice the width of the beaded feature of the router bit.

9. The woodworking kit of claim 8 wherein the profile of the cutting element of the rotary bit is symmetric.

10. The woodworking kit of claim 8 wherein the profile of the cutting element of the router bit is symmetric.

11. The woodworking kit of claim 8 further comprising a bearing connected to the router bit.

12. The woodworking kit of claim 8 further comprising a bearing connected to the router bit adjacent the proximal end.

13. The woodworking kit of claim 8 wherein the first width of the cutting element of the rotary bit corresponds to the width of the workpiece.

14. The woodworking kit of claim 8 wherein the cutting element of the rotary bit extends a height from its distal end to its proximal end;

wherein the cutting element of the router bit extends a height from its distal end to its proximal end;

wherein the height of the rotary bit corresponds to the height of the router bit.
