Title: Looking for a cheapo wood router for making the t-mold slot Post by: Roidz on May 31, 2015, 01:54:35 am I'm looking for a way to make the t-mold slot in my old cabinet,there was edgebanding originally.
I don't have a wood router so i'm looking for the cheapest sollution i can find (big chance i never need the router again). i was wondering of the Ferm BJM1009 would be enough for cutting the t-mold slot in my cabinet. I think it would work for sure if the cabinet had straight edges but this cabinet haves rounded edges as you can see on the picture here: http://imgur.com/a/ngNui#11 (http://imgur.com/a/ngNui#11). So my question is: would this Ferm BJM1009 be able to cut the t-molding slot on this cabinet or do i need a different type of router for this ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/FERM-BJM1009-Precision-Biscuit-jointer/dp/B00H4C9N5A (http://www.amazon.co.uk/FERM-BJM1009-Precision-Biscuit-jointer/dp/B00H4C9N5A) I can buy that router for around 55-60 euros here and for a one time tool that price sounds about right to me. Another alternative is the Powerplus POWX131 : http://www.powerplus.net/6246/13520/milling/powx131-biscuit-joiner-900w.aspx (http://www.powerplus.net/6246/13520/milling/powx131-biscuit-joiner-900w.aspx) Advice is welcome...

this is a router for wood connections. what you need is this type: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-264895-Plunge-Router-1500W/dp/B002QS0J2S you need also the right insert for the cut. heres a sample: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Straight-Undercut-Router-Cutter-Bearing/dp/B00PZYRKHM PS: sorry if my english isn't right i'm from germany Title: Re: Looking for a cheapo wood router for making the t-mold slot Post by: Roidz on May 31, 2015, 08:30:45 am Thanks !
I'm from Belgium so i'm sure my English isn't better then yours :) PS: do you have a (web) shop in Germany that sells that router ? Might be cheaper on shipping costs. EDIT: would this be a good one ? https://www.heelgoedgereedschap.nl/elektrisch-gereedschap/bovenfrezen/bovenfrees-poctex-1300p-elektronisch-regelbaar-1300w Title: Re: Looking for a cheapo wood router for making the t-mold slot Post by: ESGM on May 31, 2015, 09:25:08 am Hi,
this should work fine. i think power is enough and my router is similar to this (i cut the complete sideparts of my scratch build cabinet with it) as i tell you need the insert which is right to the measures you need. |
