I do a lot of cabinets these days with sides flush to the face frames, not by choice mind you, strikes me as the silliest folly ever. But seems some designers are on the reveals are bad flush is good bandwagon, seems to be coming from all directions. Makes drawer slide installation simple anyway!
Sometimes we use biscuits to align FF to case sides, I find that slow and not always highly accurate. I was thinking of running a modified version of the Sommerfield set up, but no tongues and grooves, just slotting the solids on the shaper with a 4mm cutter, maybe slotting the case sides too, then dropping in biscuits as needed. Maybe using the shaper to run the solids which can be narrow and hard to biscuit accurately, and doing the edges of the plywood with the plate jointer. Either way I need a 4mm grooved with 1 1/4" bore.....all I'm seeing in my catalogues are adjustable insert heads that go down to 4mm and start around $400, I'd like a brazed 6z groover just like a biscuit cutter blade but bigger hole. I know I can get cutters to do biscuit slots on a router! Any ideas?
