Following on from Tuesday's Zoom discussion I finally got round to finishing my router bed and sled and gave fluting a try on a roughed out bowl that was in the firewood pile.
For a first attempt it didn't turn out too badly but like all of the first attempts at something new Murphy's Law came into play, whilst routing the last flute I got grain tear out between it and the first flute.
What I have found is that I need to anchor the indexer better as the rare earth magnets I have on it are insufficient and I need to remove some of the width of the sled.
