Re: How to flush mount raised panel cutter


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

HI Dan:

?

It probably depends on how much you want to spend? I have a custom cabinet set from Rangate which gives a simple shaker profile (which I requested) and machines a 20mm tongue and groove. As with most Rangate products, it has gorgeous extras built in so I can add chamfer or micro rounds to the profile. My set is designed to work with cabinet sized timbers up to 25mm.

?

I usually use a flat panel these days, but the standard Rangate panel cutter works well for my cabinet setup. It is not flush mount but is able to machine a fairly large tongue (I forget exactly how big). The standard profile inserts machine a tapered tongue but I prefer a straight tongue so I can have highly reactive timbers (expansion and contraction) go deep into the groove. To achieve this, I tilt the Rangate panel raiser so that it machines a straight tongue. Works very well for me.

?

I¡¯m sure Greg would have my set on file and could produce a similar/same version for you.

Warm regards,

Lucky

Subject: Re: [FOG] How to flush mount raised panel cutter

I thought about adding a spline afterwards but the downside is it will need another molding in the back like you say and that seems like too much work to achieve in a cabinet door. Is there potentially an insert raised panel cutter on the market that has a wider profile capacity for such situations?
