  1. Personally I would go for the straight 6mm one, I have some bits I don't use that your welcome too if you want. I'll put pics up in a bit if your interested.
  2. Baskerville old face and papyrus is probably my favorite, but using that cutter I would say your limited to one type of font. What other cutters do you have.
  3. A pass again with the router or use a chisel and sand, I would of thought it would be easier to make a mistake with a bullnose than a straight edge. I'm going to have to test different cutters now . How deep are you going, I very rarely get the burns now tho
  4. Yes I would say 90% of it with a straight cutter 1.5mm to 3.5mm trend cutters.
  5. Burn marks usually means, blunt or going to slow. As for the levels I find that sometimes it's just that your not adding the right pressure when your going for the second pass. I always use a smaller cutter anyway I find it easier, I also use a chisel to to get rid of burrs and then a light sand.
  6. For the lettering I print it off and copy it on with carbon copy paper, using a ruler or free hand. What marks are left ??, is it a round like burn mark or slightly different levels.

  13. I'm just a miserable old unsociable fart who got invited in 07 and haven't left since, I post now and again. I make stuff, kill stuff. So now nothing much has changed I still make stuff, not so miserable and unsociable and made a great bunch of friends.
  14. I would say about 20years easily, same with sweet chestnut. Spoke to an old guy once and he said he's had his sweet chestnut posts in for 50years pulled them out cut the bit of rot out and put them back in:001_smile:.
