control panel edge chamfer
(1/2) > >>
clickhea:
my control panel is 3/4 i cut out the slot a bit off center so that the t molding covers the plexi.


now iam not sure what to do with the part underneath the tmolding, is it suppose to be chamfered?


i tried on scrap pieces using a chamfer bit.. but diddnt like the way it was looking..

anyone have pictures of this?

its a 45 degree chamfer bit.. should i be using somthing different?
NickG:
I am not sure what you mean by "part underneath the tmolding"  If you upload a picture it may help.  You should not have to chamfer beneath common flat t-molding; are you using a "lipped" type of t-molding to retain plexi at the edges or something?
fjl:
Yeah, you can simply chamfer it. What some people did as another option was to use 1/2 inch wood for the CP instead of 3/4 so that that the t-molding covers the wood and the plexi. This way there is no extra lip of wood to deal with.

If you do it that way does that mean you have to cut the t-molding slot off center? If you do then wouldn't that leave the piece of wood be pretty week?
