Introduction

Shape and smooth wooden spindles with a router for consistent profiles and clean edges.

  • Carbide bits handle both softwoods and hardwoods without burning
  • Adjustable fences and templates help replicate identical turnings for railings or table legs
  • Variable speed control reduces tear-out on detailed contours

Select the router setup that matches your spindle dimensions.

FAQs

Core-box, round-over, and cove bits create the classic found on turned spindles.

Use sharp bits, moderate feed speed, and take light passes rather than forcing the wood.

A lathe or router table provides better control; a drill press lacks the necessary stability.

Templates ensure uniform results when making multiple matching spindles.

Wear eye protection and a dust mask, and keep hands clear of the spinning bit.
