Fluting Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
Fluting is an operation that is so seldom required that it does not warrant buying special equipment for the purpose. So when I needed to flute some short columns, I made this fluting fixture from a drywall-trimming router, hardwood scraps and Plexiglas. The construction details shown in the sketch can easily be modified for your particular needs.

Milwaukee M12 23-Gauge Cordless Pin Nailer
This tool is designed for convenience. The battery and pins are easy to load, and the safety lock operates with the same finger you use to pull the trigger. The depth of set is adjustable, there’s a work light, and there’s a hook for hanging the tool on your toolbelt. A gauge lets you keep track of when you’ll need to recharge.
Makita SP6000J1 Track Saw
With enough power to slice through thick hardwoods, the Makita makes smooth, chip-free cuts in all materials.
Double Sided Tape
A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
