I've got a problem with a remodel project that I'd like to be able to utilize my router to solve. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's a good idea from a safety standpoint and I'd like some advice.
After demoing a room to the studs and putting up new drywall, the window jambs protrude (are proud of) the drywall from 3/16" up to 1/2". The jambs need to be flush to the drywall for easy window casing fitting.
My thought was to put a big 3/4" rabbeting bit (the jamb is 3/4") on my router and nail a board next to and running parallel with the jamb and rout the jamb flush with the drywall. I would run half of the router base on the board.
I have an old PC690 that has an RPM of 23000 . I could probably borrow or rent a bigger / variable speed router if you guys deem it necessary and safe.
