Hi
I ve been constructing my kitchen cabinets for years using biscuits.I am looking into switching to tongue and dado construction.
I am wondering if you used t and d construction and possibly used the her saf panel router. Interested in how
easy it was to use. I like the fact that it works over the top of the work so it maintains dimensional accuracy.
I may attempt to custom build my own panel router due to space issues. The used Her Saf are just too tall for the location
I have for the machine. I have a surplus THK linear rail assembly. It is the largest that THK manufacturers.
The rail is 2 inches square with the sliding blocks 3 x 6 inches. I`m hoping that one will be enough for the design.
It seems most panel routers use a 2 post round rail to track the router up and down. Am wondering if you think
this is a good idea.
DIY construction is not new to me. In the past I`ve built a 3 axis cnc and a combination sander- wide belt sander
for my shop.
