    Without the right tools like the curve cutter then you can template with a bendy pole. Takes some practice still.

    If you coming off the actually riser with a scriber then you'll struggle as I've never come across a complete natural curve on any riser

    Even with the curve cutter it can be tricky because of the above.

    Yeah, kinda figured it would need to be some kind of jig. There’s carpet on the riser so I wouldnt be scribing off it. Got decent routers so I’ll have a few tests on some scrap. Cheers

    Yeah, posted reply above. There’s carpet so scribing wouldn’t be my choice.

    I see some fitters use a plastic pole with some pins to hold it in place until they see some of the kit I use then the pole gets used for mixing rapid :D

    Or you could use dividers, compass, etc and make templates from tiles

    yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It will need to be a negative/postive template to account for the router bit width to get a seamless join.

    We all thought you were talking about lvt because of the photo,with wood i'd make mdf templates and like you said use different size copy rings and bits to put back the material the initial cut takes out

    Sorry, its a wooden floor and I thought as this was the wood forum it would be taken for granted. I did wonder when the link was posted. Fun and games. :)
