Would this tool be capable of fully rounding over the tops of 6" round fence posts? Any other suggestions?

I would say yes. I bought out to use to make a neck for a ukulele and it worked great. Keep in mind though that i was working with hard wood

I would rather use saws to rough it out first. Then use rough wood files for further shaping. Then finish it in with a sander with 36 grit sand paper and continue with finer grits. The microplane is not one of my favorite tools. Also check out youtube for tips on your project.

Yes, but it would take quite awhile to do so. I'd use a sander or a band saw to do most of the work first.

I'm no expert, but if I was using a hand tool I'd use the Stanley Surform 21-296 plane with the Microplane 30004 Replacement Blade. I think that would get the job done quicker that the rasp.

Absolutely. It will take a bit of work, but the Microplane can remove material quickly across the grain as would be the case in rounding the top of a post. I would also cut away as much sod as possible with a skill saw, etc., before rounding. How the majority of the wood could be removed the most efficiently would depend on if the post is already in place or if the posts can be rounded before installation.

They are adjustable ang go almost to the fence. You should have no problem. I put up about 500 feet of crown and would be no way without this tool. Love it.

The angle of the T-Post will have marginally affect the performance of this tool. We have some T-posts that were driven it at an angle and others that were severely bent. Whilst this posed some "hooking" issues, the end result was the same. The posts were removed with minimal to moderate effort. I hope this helps.

It would probably work to measure in between poles using the site hole it could work to measure up the pole but may be harder due to the size of the target you are trying to hit.

It may if its round. I have a couple of these on 4x4 square posts (actual 3.5 each side) and they really only cover 3 sides well.

Since each round end is 4" in diameter, you would have to go bigger than that. I understand the standard tile sizes are 4" or 6"; therefore I would say 6" tiles would work.

No it will not fit over a post. This works with Liberty Hardware's APANCHR-HSG-U Vortex Mailbox Ground Anchor

If you had a large enough drill bit i think you could drill afew holes in a circle and "connect-the-dots" with an electric jig-saw. Thats an idea :)

Yes. I don't think this will be the right tool. It only cuts in circles and is hard to cut where it breaks evenly.

I cannot say with certainty, however I will say the fence is very versatile and quite easy to modify which is what I did rather than modify my saw. I would suspect you could make it work for your needs. Sorry for the delayed response.

Yes that would work. You have to Physically bend each piece a little to open up the radius.

The holes would need to be no more than 1/4" around. Hope this helps. It is a great tool!!!

Yes , it will cut trim for outside corners with the trim held vertical against the fence. here are the rest of the spec. Vertical Capacity: Baseboard Against Fence 6-1/2" Vertical Capacity: Crown Molding Vertically Nested 5-1/4" Horizontal Capacity: Baseboard Lying Flat 8" Horizontal Capacity: Crown Molding Lying Flat 6-1/2" 45 Bevel Cut Capacity (dimensional lumber) 2x8 90 Cross-Cut Capacity (dimensional lumber) 4x6" 90 Cross-Cut Capacity (Max Width) 2x8 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max Height) 4x4 dimensional lumber 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max Width) 2x6 dimensional lumber

I think a 5" post would be pushing the limits of the clamp width. I would step up to the larger size.

Thank you for your inquiry. Many clothesline posts are round, not square. If this is true in your case, you will have trouble getting this to install properly. Each end needs to install securely to a flat surface in order to pull the unit out evenly. If you are unable to apply tension evenly, it can eventually develop wear points and fail. If you are attaching to a 4x4 post, first install a larger flat surface that you can then attach the unit to.

I am doing the exact same thing to make poles for deck railing. How did this work out? A vice would be necessary. Did you get one ? if so what one would a person suggest ? I am drilling 75 poles. with a total of 2 1/2" holes and 11 1/8th" holes. Would this do the job ?

it will drive 2/12" finish nails without hesitation. Fencing may require framing nails which would be another tool
