Can you borrow a lipping planer?? Perfect for such jobs.? To attach, sounds like an application similar to how I like installing face frames, I use biscuit jointer referenced from adjustable plate to plough groove and them random biscuits on the applied edge to freely adjust left/right (it leaves a consistent reveal).? Make sense??
I need to make a replacement table top for a friend. He wants ply because he is going to paint it. Finished size is 20¡±x53¡±. So plan to use 3/4¡± ply to which I will apply 1¡± wide solid wood edging. Edging will be profiled. Mitered corners for edging. I can round the sharp corners.
I was excited to finally use the MFK to trim edging flush with the top but it can only do 5/8¡± (3/4¡± tops) wide edging. That means I have to clamp a wide board to the edge (for stabilizing a router) and use a flush trim bit.
I am thinking of a slot and tenon interface, done on the shaper, to apply the edging. I can offset the cutter by a few thousands to ensure edging will be proud of the top and then just sand it. Does this sound like a good plan?
I would like to profile before gluing the edging to avoid blow out (during profiling) and the slot/tenon arrangement sound attractive for that reason as well. Maybe just able to use painters tape to glue the edging.
