Try one of these mate http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2mm-Slot-...pervan-T-Trim-Edging-Router-Bit-/361270979422 Cheers Benj Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
WHS... I used a small hand router I borrowed off a friend. Much easier and more confident at cutting into your newly assembled furniture!!
That's ideal cheers both, i was looking at the drill attachment one and a dremel cutting disk. Do you need a router table to use it properly?
Ideally yes a table means you can take the work to a stable surface and run the piece through it but you can construct a jig out a work bench and some g clamps if you're a bit creative Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
I did mine free hand without a table and ended up with a couple of wonky bits and a noticeable mistake.... but i'd already made the mistake of building the units first!
I need to adapt the front of my main unit by cutting the grill front a bit lower 'in situ'... and will therefore need to rout out a new t-trim groove without taking it all to pieces. Any top tips? Also, does anyone know if you can get one of these t-trim router bits that will fit a dremel? And if not, anything that will do the job? Ta.
@scrooge95 Sarah I wasn't aware they come as a attachment they normally come as a complete power tool, but I'm probably wrong
Get the piece of furniture as flat and stable as possible. work your way around the piece with the router and make sure you can move without hinderence or snagging. Unless the dremmel has a flat plate guide, I'd advise a small hand held router... they have very fine adjustment for getting the groove the right distance from the edge and the flat plate stops you going all over the place!
Ah okay, I was probably thinking of something else! Only just inherited a dremel so I'm a bit of a novice with it's magical powers!
What you need is one of these : https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/1422642059...3D710-134428-41853-0%26rvr_id%3D1225837583297 Inserted into one of these : http://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gkf600-600w-palm-router-240v/68002 Put the dremmel on the shelf... not the right tool for the job!!
Looks a nice bit of kit, but a tad pricey for a one off job.... I only need to slot about 18"! I'll see if I can borrow one from someone
Or one of these woodcraft 3001000 that attached to a regular drill Wolfcraft 3001000 Wood Shaper Drill Attachment with Cutter/ 8mm Shank (CE) for Power Drills https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001S2R5HU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xs-nzbFYNJ06T
Or buy a cheapo one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Palm-Rout...992898?hash=item5b35a46fc2:g:RVEAAOSwB-1Y3YAc
I saw a bloke use one of those drill attachments on youtube once he did all his cabinets with it. Yes I was bored.
