I’ve got little problem that’s really bugging me. I’m sure the solution is staring me in the face but, I can’t see it.
I’m building a series of boxes of 1/2” material. The dimensions are 5” high by 12” wide and 14” long.I want to router the inside edges of the top and bottom to receive 1/2” thick stock for the lid and bottom. I’m using a bit and bearing combo to get the rabbet size of 1 /4” in a Bosch Colt in their plunge base. My foreseen delimma is that I’m afraid that the router will tip during the cut. I’m maxed out on the depth with the Colt so, an auxiliary base plate to span the box isn’t possible. Short of switching to a bigger router with more range of depth, does anyone see a repeatable solution?
