I plan to make some shaker style kitchen cabinet doors from 3/4" Poplar wit h 1/4" MDF panels and I was looking at this MLCS T&G router bit set:
Item #7737, 3rd one down on this page:
The rep at MLCS recommended the #7737 because it will give me the ability t o move the groove back towards the rear of rails/stiles, while the #7841 wo uld force me to center the T&G. It is my understanding that 1/4" MDF is rea lly 1/4", unlike 1/4" plywood which is less.
I called 2 local lumber yards and this is what I was told:
One place said that they could order it and if their supplier had domestic MDF it would be 1/4", if it was imported it would probably be less.
The other place assured me right up front that the 1/4" MDF panels they car ry are 1/4". $19.95 per 49" x 97" sheet. I plan to swing by and measure the panels before I order the bit set, but I'd like your thoughts on the issue first.
Thanks!
