A kitchen worktop end panel joint?

[DIYedboy]

I want to have my kitchen worktop as a base unit end panel too (it's actually a breakfast bar). But I don't want to see the edge of the breakfast bar with the worktop beneath it, I presume I have to use a circular saw set to 45 degrees in order to acheive this 'no edge' look. I'd rather buy a router bit as the edge finish will be much crisper (even if I cut the worktop upside down with the circular saw). Am I trying to acheive the impossible? is there a better way?

Basically, you want a miracle, and you'll need to be damned good to achieve this. You'd need a router with a 45 degree cutter, and work from the back to get a good clean joint, but as they won't be big enough for the whole joint, you'd then need to clean the rest up by hand.

Have a look at this youtube video, and you'll see what's needed to get a good joint.

Gotta love the bloke's equipment, but jeez, all that effort for something blinkin useless!! yeah, I think the best way would be to make a 45 degree fence for my router n make many passes..............think I'll give the idea up!

This is a better guy to watch...

And better equipment.

I think I may have just experienced a twinge of jealousy looking at the equipment in his workshop.

Now you're going to tell me that's his basement.
