Specifically using a router to cut a slot along the edge of some MDF for t-molding? I've never used a router before and am planning to borrow one at some point for that purpose. |

its not hard to use.... just if possible... also borrow a goggle (for eye protection..), ear plug... and try it out on a piece of scrap wood.... (you might want a mouth mask also if you're routing mdf...) and you'll be all set.... |
| Santoro:
Not very hard at all. Just practice on a scrap and place a small test strip of t-moldimg in to be sure it is centered. I eyballed the center of the MDF and consequently the t-molding is slightly off-center. Make sure to take into account the Laminate/formica if you have it. |

Practiseon scrap wood first and DO IT OUTSIDE. I cannot stress that strongly ehough, lol. |
| Howard_Casto:
Your biggest problem will be borrowing a router with access to slot cutting bits. They are used for t-molding, biscuit cutting and that's about it. Also the particular size you need for t-molding isn't readily available. :( All of this is just a warning.... perpare to fork over 40 bucks for a bit when you borrow it and prepare to order it from an online store, most likely t-molding.com |
