finishing off a groove in Laminex covered top
I am thinking of making my own router table to get what exactly I want. The top will be 40mm minimum MDF or ply sheeted with Laminex product.
I will be putting in grooves for the recessed 19mm aluminium channels for the fence. After I route this groove about 300 mm into the table, what is the best way to square the end of the groove from the 19mm radius left by the router bit? I am a bit concerned about cracking the Laminex sheeting
All suggestions appreciated,
regards,
Jill

Router table
Don't know that you need such a thick top Jill.
I built my table from Roger Gifkins' plans. Plans are on the net.
There has been some discussion in the forums about router tables and fences. You might want to look them up.

Or you could run the router groove past the length of the track and just bog the excess semi circle. It will work fine, but not be as "pretty" as squaring it with a chisel. It depends on whether you want to use it or look at it. Personally I'd rather bog it than chisel it as it's just a tool and it won't affect it's functionality but chiselling laminates is not really good for the edge of your chisel. If you're this far north give me a PM as I've got a couple of large sink cutouts in 33mm board.
