  • Patent number: 9475207
    Abstract: A wood working tool for cutting flutes on a curved profile, used with a wood lathe. The wood working tool includes a vertical mast secured to a base. A cutting tool holder is attached to the mast and can be connected at different positions to adjust the usable height to accommodate different size lathes. The tool holder supports a cutting tool such as router. The tool holder also supports a depth control bar with a roller at a working end of the control bar. The control bar is positioned such that the roller is near a cutter of the cutting tool. The depth control bar can be adjusted to allow for the cutting tool to cut a surface at a variety of depths. Moving the wood working tool along the length of the turning with the depth control bar engaged allows for cutting of the flute.
