  • Interesting, I'm definitely keen to make them longer lasting. What kind of profile would that leave?

    After much wrangling about the cutting I got them CNC'd. Partly as I thought it would save time and partly because the work top cost a small fortune and I couldn't face the doors not doing the work top justice as it were.

    In the end there were other issues that slowed the project down, and if I was doing it again I would just spend a bit more money on a nice track saw. I've messed up a couple of measurements so will need to cut some new doors anyway.

  • It’s quite a hard thing to photo (I’ve just found out)
    The white melamine faced ply doors have quite a big chamfer cut around them but it can be smaller like on the kitchen door.
    If you don’t cut a chamfer or ease the edges with a sanding block the birch veneer on the face will get caught and break off.

  • Breaking off doesn't sound ideal.

    Sounds like you mean just knocking the 90 degree angle off the edge of the birch, can I achieve that without the specialist tool?
