Do you have a photo or drawing of the profile in hand? Maybe we could give you some advice in cutting it yourself if we know what it looks like. |

Jigsaws blades bend and can cause crooked cuts. Use a router with a 1/4" (I think) rotozip bit. Thats what Ive done when I wanted to cut curves. Cuts like a hot knife thru butter. Or, you might just get a rotozip tool. Ive not used one. The bits are a little thinner, and prone to bend a little - unlike the larger 1/4" size that will fit the router. However, even a little flex is not bad compared to the flex and trouble with jigsaws. Rotozip bits cut much faster and less effort required than using a standard router bit, or jigsaw. Though, just about anything you use will most likly need a good sanding and final shapeing with sanding tools. (unless you have a perfect rail guide template) A simple drum sander attachment that will fit a drill may work ok. Finish with hand sanding. |
