I am trying to cut handles into drawer fronts as shown below, however I am having a hard time figuring out the best way to do this. I want the drawer front to all be from the same block, so the handle is only formed by removing material around the slot. THoughts on how to cut this?
I would thinking a vertical router bit, but it would be a 1 1/2" height for the bit to cut, which becomes a risky cut, even in a jig.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
