Hello Every One!
Long time reader, first time poster.
My wife and I are planning on building an A Frame cabin next spring, in Maine. We currently live in a millinery tent. Our plan is to use 2x6 T&G boards for roof decking, and for the floors. The issue is, it's super expensive. Compared to a regular 2x6.
I am exploring all my options, and would like to see if I can make my own tongue and groove boards. From regular 2x6 or 2x8 lumber.
My first question is: Could this be done with one pass on the router (one pass for T and one pass for G)? If so, would a Bosch 1617 be sufficient enough, or do I need a bigger router?
Also, could you please recommend the bits for those size boards? I am only finding bits that do up to 1 1/4" boards (standard 2x6 is actually 1.5").
Thank you in advance for your time and your responses. I appreciate it!
