I'm currently on step 6 of the masterclass and I'm a bit confused. Step 6 has several sub-steps using the G-rasp and sanding block. Then it shows the use of the Rail Runner on a board with square rails that have not been hit with the G-rasp and sanding block. Is this an either/or scenario in which you either use the G-rasp and sanding block OR the Rail Runner. If so, which sub-steps does the rail runner replace? Sub-steps (that involve cutting) in step 6 are: 1. Doming the Deck 2. Primary Rail Band Layout 3. Secondary Rail Band Layout 4. "Corner Cut" Rail Band 5. Blending the Deck 6. Elliptical Bottom Rail Tuck 7. Round Bottom Rail Tuck with Rail Runner Tool 8. Screening Rails Round 9. Final Rail Shape Touch Up If I'm not mistaken, sub-step 7 would replace sub-steps 2-6. Correct? Therefore, if you have the Rail Runner tool you would complete steps 1,7,8,9 Or am I mistaken? If so, please clarify.
If my assumption above is not correct, then I believe the Rail Runner replaces only sub-step 6? If this theory is correct then someone with a Rail Runner would complete 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 (skipping only sub-step 6)... I look forward to your response

Also works great with poly.
This tool is a must have for me. Works like a champ!
I use this tool on every board I build and love it!
Thanks for the comment and being a Greenlight customer!
Excelente!!!!!

What the shape first, concave or tuck under edge? Thanks
Concave first Step 5, rails step 6
Hi, why did you choose 60 degrees for the angle of the tuck part of the tool?
It creates a slightly elliptical rail tuck shape
