Morning all,
I am going to get a router, and have read up about all the options on power, collet size, cutter quality and so on, but I'm still not clear on one thing - will I need a table to mount it in?
The job I am buying the router for is to produce a set of 12 wardrobe/cupboard doors. These will probably be cut from some 12mm or 18mm thick wood or MDF. I intend to rout a profile along all four edges of each door, and a groove about 10cm in from the door edge, parallel to the edge of the door.
The total perimeter of all the doors will be somewhere near 21m (and the length of the inset grooves slightly less than this), so there's a fair bit to be done. The doors will not all be the same size.
So, will a table (bought or made up myself) make this job easier/simpler/quicker/safer? If I don't *need* a table then I'll just get the router just now and worry about building or buying a table later.
Thanks in advance, Al
PS Any thoughts on thickness and choice of material for wardrobe/cupboard doors would also be welcome.
