<div>If I understand your description, it may be an issue changing the base plate size. As the base gets larger your ability to follow detail on the pattern may be lost. I would make a pattern for each shape and use a "pattern follow router bit" or a Flush trim bit. http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Types_of_Tools/Routers_and_Bits/Bits/Ball_Bearing_Router_Bits.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=2016-12-gp&gclid=CKWHpL6V_NACFcS1wAodV3wP-g</div>

The shape is composed of several<br /> different ellipses but shouldn't matter. I plan to make a template of<br /> mdf - this is in the range of 4 x 10 feet - and I'd like to cut<br /> "concentric" versions of the shape all within 2-3 inches of the<br /> smallest. I thought I'd make template based on stock router base and<br /> smallest piece, and for larger, make larger round router bases. I<br /> never for a second thought this was a new idea so went googling and<br /> can't find anything on doing this. Lots of different sub bases - but<br /> none that would follow a template on this scale. I could look at two<br /> rollers or pins but seems nothing would be as simple and safe and<br /> accurate as larger round bases.<br /> <br /> Probably missing the obvious, but most seem much more expensive for a<br /> one time diy home project.</div>
