Wow, the tube looks like it’s made from strips. Do you mind elaborating how you created the tube. Looks very good.

I am not going anywhere near that bit - that’s one mean looking bit! What did you use it for?

And what’s the thing in the upper left hand? Looks like it has 3 rollers.

My guess is it’s like a fancy finger board.

I normally post all the pics, but I thought people might be getting bored of my work, but since you asked…

The tube is 4 pieces of 3/4” MDF glued together, rounded over all four sides with a 1.5” roundover bit. Top is drilled with a forstner bit for the tweeter body and the rebate is made with a router on jig for each size tweeter.

Again, this is just a work in progress, maybe this is good, maybe it sucks, will know when I try them…

Thing with wheels on router table is a power feeder. The router table is the only machine that has ever bit me, so I bought it 20-25 years ago. I use it for repetitive cuts on long stock, like trim or cabinet door rail and stile stock.

If you are really bored, here is a little clip of it in action on an older table I used to have,
