Key Bushing Cauls-sizing wrecked mortices

[William R. Monroe]

Ric,

Have you done this?  Am I reading correctly that you would rout a channel,
glue in "shims", and then rout the final product to the proper dimension?
Or are you machining inserts that are properly sized?  I would think it
would be rather difficult to machine inserts, glue them in and come out with
a properly sized mortice, no?

I'd appreciate a clarification.

Respectfully,
William R. Monroe
