Mini-Router for limbs on glass bow question???

[warden415]

I have a thought or idea and wonder if anyone can tell me if it is feasible? I was looking at a Dremel type tool and noticed it came with a router base attachment. I saw were you could get a mini 1/8" round over bit. I got to thinking and wondered if after the bow was cut out and tillered, if you could run the mini router up all the edges of the limbs to round them over? I'm not sure how the bit would hold up to the glass though? Just wondered if anyone has tried this before and what results they got? I just thought you would get a quick and consistant round over of the limb edges this way. Steve

Fiberglass chews the edge right off most power tools.

If that thing grabs a strand of glass and pulls wrong, you will wish you didn't do that.  It is not so difficult to round over the limbs with a file and a strip of sand paper, or run a palm sized orbital sander along the limbs.

Good idea... but it would scare me I think.

I used this very system on a strip canoe to round the gunnels over...it worked ok but I sure wouldnt use it on a bow of any kind.

I'd be real worried about it tearing out or chipping.
