This is a spice rack with a slight problem I need to correct. A friend with a cabinet shop built it for me from scrap maple. Bad communication on my part, he put the shelves 4.5 inches apart. My glass spice bottles are 4 9/16ths inches tall.
I was thinking I could use my 611 router to shave a little wood from the bottom of each shelf and then paint it for an antique look.
I would much appreciate any tips on guides or other things I should get to do this job safely and properly. I only have the 611, no attachments and only 1 bit too short for this job.
Also… The shelves are 2 inches deep but I don’t need to cut that deep. 1.5 inches would give the bottle lids proper clearance. I would appreciate recommendations on the bit I should buy for this task. I’ve seen ones with a bearing on the end and was told they give better control. The kid at the box store wouldn’t tell me which bit I needed. He kept trying to sell me a set of bits.
I read all the threads in this section since 2013 trying to under the terminology. I still haven’t got it down yet. Thanks for any help in advance.
