Hi all,
I’m sick to death of unreliable tradesman, constantly letting me down, so much so that I’m having a go at routing worktops myself.
They are actually for an office and are the white 1860mm x 615mm x 28mm thick ones from IKEA (slightly rolled edge).
I don’t have a jig, so which one do I need? I was looking at the Trend KWJ700 but there is also the KWJ700S (I assume for square edge?). Thought there might be a jig that offers both square and rolled edge formats, in case I do another in the future and want a different edge profile.
Also, I only have a DeWalt 1/4” cordless router. I know generally you should use 1/2” routers but might I get away with it for a 28mm (as opposed to 38mm) thick worktop?
If not, then recommendations for a worktop capable 1/2” router as well please.
I know that it “could” be cheaper to get a pro to do it, but I do most of my own stuff mainly due to unreliable tradespeople. Plus it will give me another skill.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
