Is this possible? What have I missed? Kitchen worktop extension

[charliesymcox]

Hi all,

My first post! So I'm trying to extend my kitchen worktop and not sure if it's even possible. I want to buy 1 piece Maia (to match existing) 1800x650mm, 42mm and use the area as a breakfast bar.

For it to work I will need to rout the existing worktop whilst it's installed. Is this ok to do? The only problem I see is that I can't push the router all the way to the wall so I'll have to think of another way to trim the last bit! Thoughts please!

Why don't you just butt join it and use a joining strip or some colourfill of the nearest match?
The profile doesn't have a bullnose so I don't see the need for the router!
Otherwise: route what you can and then meticulous work with a sharp chisel and file!
You can use a wood fillet underneath to join new to existing!

You could install on folding ,locking hinges allowing it to be folded down when not in use.?
