| Registered User Forum King  |  Edging the table Got the RT top done and want to edge band it. It's a double layer MSD at 1.5" thick. I want to put a wood edge around it and was thinking of using edge banding bits to do the job. Well, none of them will handle 1.5" thick stock. Any ideas?

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Mike Use the T & G bits, the same way You will need to use the longer 1/2" shank arbors..with a extra bearing or spacer in place to get the height... The set below will have the extra bearing you will need plus it comes with shims..and you can put in a 3/8" wide slot..not the norm for most of the T & G bit sets. http://cgi.ebay.com/11pc-1-2-Shank-S...742.m153.l1262 === You can also use the 1/4" slot cutters but it will take a bit of setup and a pass or two but you can use the trim bit to get it right on..after... You can also use the router bit set below. NOTE the bit set below is at a great price, about 1/3 of the norm,,,if you check the price on the same set in Freud/CMT/Whitehouse it will be over 110.oo bucks if not more... http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-ENTRY-...QQcmdZViewItem ====== ========== Quote:

| Registered User Supreme Forum King  | Hi Mike, How about just cutting some 1 1/2" strips of the wood of your choice, then glue and brad nail or glue and screw them on the edge. I did the glue and brad and then routed it with a roundover. It's been over a year and still looks good.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | You'er Welcome Mike I have been looking at that bit set for the last 30 to 60 days or so , I wanted one also BUT I will Not bid on this one one I will wait I don't want to push up the price..  Here has them up for sale all the time,they go for about 45.oo to 51.oo bucks. The norm...I have some of his bits and they are great and real SHARP... The last set I got was for the Incra Hinge Jig,,,they are good as the CMT brand ...JUST green almost the same color as Grizzly bits but better..and just a bit darker but it's hard to tell them apart when they are next to each other in the same box, the only way I can tell is one will cut your finger and the other will not... ============== Quote:

I'm going to keep an eye on the bit set though. Judy wants new doors for the bedrooms and bath, as well as all the closet doors. Just might turn out to be a busy summer.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Mike, I have to agree with George, what's the problem with cutting strips, putting mitres on the ends, glue in place, strips of masking tape can be used to hold in place 'till glue dries if you don't want pins. Knowing your high skill level, I'm sure we must be missing some important point Mike.

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Mike, I would simply glue the edging in place and clamp it. The glues we work with are stronger than the wood itself so no worries about it not holding up. That is how I built my first router table.

| Registered User Forum Geek  | George and Harry are on the right track. Norm (NYW) did this on his router tables. He used 2 layers of MDF, covered with a laminate top and trimmed with 3/4 x 1 1/2 Oak strips that he mitered and chamfered. The result was very nice. -Derek |
