I have used a 3/4 round or round over bit to take off / round over the edges. I  now use a 45 degree router bit on a router table,  and finish it with a spoke shave to get to a "D", done by by eye and feel, I keep meaning to make a template .

Good luck with the operation, fingers crossed.

Wow that made short work of it, I still like the idea of the fixture, as it will give me more control of the work piece
Thanks again

On my previous reply I said that i used a 3/4 inch round-over bit, but on reflection it is more like 3/8 of an inch. Struggling to find a bigger radius on a 1/4 spindle.

Back again, just by way of explanation, I got given the router and table a couple of weeks ago, by an old friend, but I had never used one before
and,didn't know about the direction of the tool etc and it snatched the blank and because the router bit comes in from below the table I couldn't see the cut happening. One scrap blank.
I bought the palm router to, put a Small rebate in the front and back,to fit the 1/8 ply into the front and back panels so as to hide the edge of the ply.
Wood is pretty new to,me, I'm used to turning metal, milling drilling and welding. Etc
Anyway thanks again
Phil

Is the a 3/4 inch round over bit, and are you using it in a pillar drill?

First, many thanks for taking the time to respond, it's much appreciated.
I do have a pillar drill, and I have a plunge router and router table, and recently bought a small Palm router, only £30 off that well known bay.
Both are 1/4 shanks. I'm a time served tool nut.
Thanks Again

a few? That's a few months worth! :) 

Yeah, I'm looking towards to meeting you guys too. 

If there's one thing I've seen characterising all the people in here it's sheer bloody mindedness and a headstrong will to keep things going to reach goals and accomplish things that other people only dream about. Your here so you must have that same drive as we all do.
