Ryobi Router hacking me off fixing to return it!!!!
NightGod:
Thanks for putting the pretty frame around the pics for us! :laugh2:
And yeah, wood putty for that little nick there-that spot will be covered with T-molding later anyway, so it should be an easy repair.
MikeDeuce:
Yay, progress!
If you happen to have a jig saw around, you may want to try rough cutting it (say, around 1/8" away from the line), before flushing it up with the router. There's a lot less burning, it's quieter, and it's easier and a lot less stressful (IMHO).
It may be a matter of preference, but I feel it's safer than removing a lot of material with a router bit (especially if you did that in one pass).
DrewKaree:
To add to Mike's comments, it's also easier to deal with those large panels of wood and perhaps having something fall after (or during) your cut that you didn't expect. Not entirely a big deal, and it appears as if you'll already have it cut out, but something to consider.

Yeah I was also thinking the same thing. I did do a little rough cutting to get those other big pieces of wood out of the way. Guys I am also done with pattern/flush routing part for the 2nd cabniet side. All I need to do know is some minor sanding. I did have one issue. You can see it in picture #2. When I got to the right angle you know where the control panel is going to sit? On the bottom cabniet piece it is a little curved due to the circular nature of that bit. So I used the jigsaw a tad to try to square the angle. What would you guys do. I figure I would try to sand it down to flat instead of the little curve it has on it. If I do sand what grit should I use for this?
Also when I get to my T-Molding I was wondering. Should I put T-Molding on that right angle since the Control Panel Box is going to be sitting on it, or should I go around that part, and not put T-Molding there? Rather out the T-Molding above the control panel box, and below the control panel box. Thanks.
NightGod:
No t-molding, use a corner file (it's a file shaped like a triangle) to gently square off that corner.
That's how I would do it, at least.
