Yes, even the S shape. I couldn't make that out. Router tables make it easier to work on small pieces like the concertina but it is not necessary. If I was routing the piece you show and didn't have a table, I would just clamp the piece to a work table, route one edge, unclamp and rotate the piece, clamp and route the next edge, etc. You can find a nice palm router to do that piece for under $100 U.S. Here is a picture of some more router bit profiles. Perhaps "F" is closer to what you are looking for? Any profile you see will come in different sizes. And these are just some of the many router shapes available.

Yep. That's one of the many uses of a router. The edge you show could be routed on all six sides in about one minute. The number of router bits for different shapes seems limitless. Here is an example that is close to what you have.

You should reread the first six words of my post that you are responding to.

Pithy statement that sounds profound yet has as much substance as a fart in the wind.
-
It would make for a better debate if you would address the points I've made instead of making judgements about me.
-
Sorry, I think we may be talking about two different things. I was referring to taking out the leadership of terrorist organizations, not regime change. Can you explain that to me please? Feels like you are calling me some kind of Trump supporting troglodyte.
-
Can you explain to me why those two examples should cause us to not consider any contrary data? Ah! So simple! And when is the most judicious time? Not a date and time of course, but what factors tell us what the most judicious time is? How do we 'manage the underlings'? How does knowing the size and trajectory of their game plan ensure we've reached the optimal time to kill the leadership?
-
So based on these examples we should not target terrorist leaders?
-
Iraq and Afghanistan are not the sum total of global terrorism. Keep distorting the facts if you wish but you are arguing from ignorance.

I'm curious what version of history you are reading. What do you think is so magical about terrorists that they cannot be defeated. They are people, just like everyone else. I think it is perhaps you who is being delusional. https://ctc.usma.edu/app/uploads/2010/08/CTCSentinel-Vol3Iss2-art6.pdf

Love to. You are making the assumption that the replacement is as effective as the original leader. There is usually a reason the one who is in charge has that position; it is because of their ability. Underlings are typically NOT as good as the person they replace, or they would be in charge in the first place. That is of course not always the case but in the military very few lieutenants could step in for the generals and be as effective. An example, in WWII the Americans decided to kill Isoroku Yamamoto despite the fact that by killing him the allies risked the Japanese discovering that their encryption code had been compromised. Yamamoto was immediately replaced but no one else was able to achieve similar results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Vengeance

Your comments are misoginistic and indefensible. Please stop trying to defend them. You are only making yourself look worse.

Un-fucking-believable. I was going to ask what decade you rolled out of but perhaps I should ask what century.

Red herring #3.
-
This is twice now you've dragged a red herring across the path. It's getting old.
-
In what way does that negate the fact that killing ISIS members has severely weakened them? Where do you think we'd be in Iraq and Syria wrt ISIS if we hadn't been hunting down and killing every one of them that we could find? How active has al-Qaeda been since bin Laden was taken out?
-
You might want to look at a map of the territory ISIS controlled in 2015 and how much they control today.
-
I of course didn't know al-Baghdadi but I'm guessing from your description neither did you. This sounds like you got your information from a very biased "news" station. Reality is always more complex than caricatures.
-
It is interesting that you think "killing our enemy" "DOESN'T. WORK." when it comes to ISIS. I don't think many would agree with you.
-
'Not scaring or killing civilians' is not the opposite of 'killing the leaders.' It sounds like it is the methodology we've used to kill past leaders you are opposed to.
-
You are certainly not required to network and can function just fine without doing so. It is simply another method to help you improve your overall success. Personally I don't think I know anyone whose networking involves drinking other than perhaps a drink or two at certain functions. I'm not sure what kind of networking involves gossip and drunks. Sounds more like a social party involving young people.

I'm sorry. Just now having my first espresso of the day. 🤕
-
I'm confused by the subterfuge. Was Trump's concern that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi would somehow know Trump's whereabouts and would infer an imminent attack if Trump were not golfing, or was Trump concerned that Pelosi would somehow know Trump's whereabouts and would infer an imminent attack if Trump were not golfing, thus allowing her to, I don't even know what.
-
I can't tell. Was this post tongue in cheek?
