How to make quarter rounds and to make a diagonal cut with common tools?

This is how I would try - caveat emptor!

First, drill a hole in the exact center of the 3x3 at both ends. Scribe a circle around the center, and remove as much waste as you can with the bandsaw. Build a support so that the wood sits like a barbecue spit, suspended from the centers. Mount over a router table, take very fine passes, spinning the wood....

Which is how the Sears Router-Crafter operates.

BTW, no need for bandsaw.

I don't think it is even sold any more, at least new, maybe used on eBay.

Correct :-)

Totally different hardware and Operating system, what I think today would be described as a "minority platform".

And hopefully it's now sorted

If you can find one with all the pieces in good working order. Sears dumped it a while back. Trend in the UK doesn't have it anymore. The Canwood is gone. Entry level for such a device now appears to be a Legacy Ornamental Mill for 1500 bucks and up. I understand that Router Magic

has a chapter detailing how to make such a thing from bicycle parts. I've seen a site with plans for one but can't find it again.
