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.

Festool Rotex FEQ-Plus Random Orbital Sander
The Festool Rotex is a top-of-the-line choice. On its coarse setting, it removed stock nearly twice as quickly as the second-fastest model. But that speed doesn’t mean you’ll have to wrestle with it. It’s no huge task to control it with two hands, and its long body gives you plenty of room to find a sweet spot while holding it.
MicroJig Matchfit dovetail clamps
These unique clamps have angled tips that hold templates and fences in place without getting in the way.
