I'd like to ask a couple of follow-up questions. If the top you are putting the dado in is already laminated with plastic, do you have to do anything different? Or just cut the dado as you would if it were not laminated.

And when using cement to attach the track to the MDF, what kind of cement?

Thanks.

Bert, the process is identical... the router bit does not mind having a bit of high pressure laminate for breakfast. You will get a nice clean cut. To glue the aluminum to MDF I suggest a thin epoxy.

Some suggest that the first cut be a VERY LIGHT one to score the laminate. It helps to prevent chipping.
