Hi all,
I’m about to embark on my first project and am looking to make this coffee side table below.
I don’t have a table saw (or router table) to do the mitred/beveled 45 degree cuts so I was thinking of using my plunge router (AEG MF 1400 KE) to do the bevel cuts.
I was planning to cut everything down to size using my circular saw and straight edge. Then do the final bevel cuts using a large V groove bit. I work on some heavy duty saw horses (Toughbuilt C700) and an MDF top. The V groove bit I am looking at is from CMT and has a diameter of 38mm ( 1.5”) and has a mitred cut depth of 19mm, which is just deep enough for the 18mm plywood I want to use.
Has anyone used a V groove of this diameter by hand before? Is it safe to do so taking about 10 passes? Is this method accurate enough with a straight edge?
Thanks!
