Doy you have a solution for putting a chamfer on 1/8" thick cast acrylic strips that are 1" x 12". We want to chamfer the long sides only. I need recommendations for the programming and bit selection using Gerber Artpath & a Demension 200 Router

Yes...invert your router up on a router table...attach a piece of 1/2" duraply about an inch wide and 12 " long so that it will swing from one end and meet the router blade at center...now put a router blade slightly larger than the blade you intend to use and ease the "slat" of duraply into the blade to cut a notch into it, (the full depth of the blade)...(turn off the router)now change to the blade your going to use for chamfering and swing the new "slat" (now fence) to the desired depth you want to cut the chamfer and clamp it into place with a c-clamp...voila yer on yer way...It will take a little experimentation but you'll get the hang of it...be sure to wear safety goggles and watch yer fingers!Oh and make sure to push your work into the cutting action of the blade or it will yank it out of your hands and kill the shop kat when it goes thru his head...only kiddin!
