Small Job, Need Done

[Nemo128]

I don't have access to a curve planer.

I need a 2x6 curve planed and routed. What I have in mind I have as a 3D PDF I created in Solidworks, so I can supply the plan. I need someone that can do the planing and routing, or at least the planing.

Anyone interested who can do this? It's basically a custom door saddle to route my cables. No saddle I've seen can accomodate what I want to do, but it's a very simple design.

I'm not sure what your wanting from the description. But I'm thinking what you want can probably be done with a good bit on a router table.

Can you post the pdf?

It sounds like you want a cove cut in the back of a 2x6, am I correct? This can be done on a table saw by clamping a guide across the table at an angle, over the blade. If you squat down and look across the blade from various angles to the side, you'll eventually see the one you need. Otherwise, you could do the same thing with a dado cutter.

3D PDF is up.

Can you post a true cross section? The right end showed a partial section and it's pretty dark, so the details don't come through very well.

 

[Nemo128]

3D PDFs can pan, rotate, and zoom. You should be able to get all the detail you want from it.

The updated file is a section of only one end of it. The channels are 1/4" radius routed. The PDF won't embed dimensions, but I can supply the Solidworks file.

It can be made from a 2x6 cut to 31" length.

Aren't you a clever one? I think that is very cool.

I don't know if I can help you but I'm gonna try. That's called a threshold. You would want the top flat with bevels or champhers cut into the edges sloping up to the flat part. Don't start the bevel at point zero but allow for a 1/4 inch of rise so that the wood has some strength. Use a 3/4 inch piece of hardwood like maple or oak. Typical 2x6 stock is pine/coniferous/softwood that won't handle the wear very well. If you don't get a response through here look at your local Craigslist. It is my understanding that guys advertise their services for hire through there. Anybody geared up with a table saw and a router should be able to spit that out in an hour and might charge you $25-$50.

Do you need it to be rounded like the diagram or can it be as described by Alex,which is a typical threshold which I can make for you no problem,oak , mahogany , so on just give me exact width x length should be 4 9/16 wide for standard jambs x 31" as you quoted you pay shipping and material cost I'll whittle it out of a chunk of 5/4" send it to you if you like it you send me one blu ray disc of my choice ??Within reason of course.

Home Depot has a door saddle that has an acceptable shape. The woman told me to stop overengineering simple stuff...

If I can get the channels I want routed into the Home Depot saddle, that will work fine. I can't find it on their site. Basically this is being used to conceal the wires going from my HT setup in the living room across the door into the bedroom. I currently have a rubber threshold from work that looks like crap, so I wanted to do an oak one with routed channels.

 

[sawzalot]

Just for your own info,most threshholds are hollow on the underside anywho so if you buy yourself a round 3/8" or 1/2" file you could file your in and outs for your wires no router needed and you would have the nice clean round outs that you seek.

I didn't even think to try pan, rotate, etc. If you're going to walk on that, would a flatter top be better?

What kind of wood matches your trim?

The profile you mentioned (The channels are 1/4" radius routed) is called a 'dish cutter', most likely to be used for plate rail. The top one would be easiest to use because it has the guide bearing.

Since you want to use a threshold for the doorway, would it be practical to route the wire path in the floor instead? That way, you could use a piece that's off the shelf at the supplier.

Yeah, you're right. Woman said the same and it's true. I'll go with a standard saddle and try to make a channel in it.

Flooring and frame are oak. I don't have a router unfortunately, or that dish cutter would be perfect for this.

I rent.

I may buy the Home Depot one I saw and see if I can cut the channel by hand. If it doesn't work, it's little money wasted, no biggie.

Check out ebay. CPO sells refurb tools for a fraction of the retail cost. I got my router there. Of course it's a bit more than your probably looking to pay.
