      Hey folks, I'm in the process of making a fireplace surround and I'm looking to utilize some curved rails that I intend to make with a rail cutting router bit. What I'm having a hard time doing is having the attached profile follow the contour of the rail. It's a bit hard to explain, but the pictures should make things clearer. Can anyone help?

        I would suggest making a profile and then using the follow me tool.

        FYI: You'll get more advice adding photos or screen shots because people are too lazy to download the file and look.

          I wouldn't necessarily say lazy, I often answer from my phone and am unable to look at the skp, so both a screen shot and skp are the way to go.

              Box, I know you're on your phone in bed with a bag of cheetos and a 72" wide screen watching Finding Nemo for the 800th time.

                Almost, I'm on the beach about to go for a swim having just finished a 5k run, so there are some clowns and fish about. God knows what cheetos are.

                  5k? Are you insane? I only run if something is chasing me and it better be really big and have sharp teeth or something that goes bang bang.

                  Cheetos...
