I'm in the process of installing a kitchen from MFI. I have an island consisting of 600mm deep units on the front and 300mm deep full height wall units to make the back, so in total the island is 900mm deep. The front side (the 600mm deep bit) consists of a built in freezer, a drawer unit and a built in fridge. The designer at MFI has supplied some 18mm thick end panels to box in the fridge and freezer and support the worktop at the two ends.
The end panels supplied are 600mm wide and made of MDF with a tongue & groove effect, so I need use two on each side, and cut them down to create 900mm wide panels. There only thing these panels can be screwed to is the 300mm deep wall units, so 600mm will be unsupported and should be able to support the worktop.
So now to the question. I can probably cut the end panels where the tongue & groove effect is so the cut should be less visible. I assume if I use a circular saw to do this it would look rubbish, so I should use a router & jig (I'd need to hire a 900mm long jig). But what should I join the panels with?
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks, Dave.
