Re: Efficient Method to Wrap Plywood with Solid Wood
|
Imran,
When I made the MDF top (3" thick) for my workbench last year, I used Ultimate Router base with 1 1/4" dish carving bit to flush trim the 1" thick hard maple skirt board, it worked really well.
I put 2 pieces of paper under the router bit to set the initial routing depth. After the initial trimming, I put 1 piece of paper under the router bit, and did the final trimming.
Basically, my Festool OF1400 with the ultimate router base plus the dish carving bit is my "Lamello" lipping planer :)

Thanks Mike. No lipping planer. I did have a PC biscuit jointer but did not like the consistency and moved to Domino and sold the PC joiner.

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.
