: Hi John,

: If you're using a tablesaw to trim the bead off, you could use a 1-2' strip
: as part of a temporary fence. Then slide the strip you're trimming with
: its cove against the bead of the fence strip. You might want to raise the
: fence strip off the surface of the tablesaw by 1/64" or 1/32" so
: that the cove strip doesn't bind against the tablesaw surface.

: Ross

May I also suggest that you make sure you have a ZERO clearance plate on the blade. When cutting anything that narrow, there's always the chance of binding, or tilting at the Cutting surface. Just a thought.
