How To Chamfer Cabinet Door Frame?

Jan 23, 2018 60 Replies

to chamfer the inside panel frame edges, right? You need, or looking for , a non-bearing bit whose profile is 45°, right?

No, Yes and Yes. ;-)

The doors for the current bookcase project is are already built and the chamfers have been done. In fact, they are ready for primer.

ry fence(s) for guidance.

Maybe. For the bookcase doors I used a router table, did the chamfers befor e assembly and then "fixed" the corners with RockHard and a chisel.

As far as the doors for the rest of the kitchen, depending on which of the various solutions I've been offered, I may indeed be using a handheld router.

, to make it 45°. When grinding, make sure its ground equally, so th at the bit is balanced. When done, mail it back to me. Is my initial as sumptions (as to presently assembled doors) correct... if so, is this bit a n option for you? The bit is 1/2" shaft.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to respectfully pass. I think I have enough viable options to get it done. I may even go as far as changing the profile slightly to use available cope-and-stick sets such as Infinity offe rs. The bookcase set I am building for the kitchen will not be near the rest of the cabinets and might not even be painted the same color. The doors will still be shaker-ish, but I don't think that a slightly different (and faste r to make) profile will be a problem.

grinding, than the pictured one. I'll have to look further for another on e.

Thanks, but don't trouble yourself.

Seriously, thank you very much for the offer.
