Default Stair treads by T & G

Whats wrong with a flush/trim cutter with the router?


I think I am getting lost as well now ;-O

Which flush / trim cutter did you have in mind, and what were you
planning to do with it?

(you linked to a T&G cutter set before)

Flush trim cutters:

are fine if you want to trim an overhanging top layer of something back
to be flush with a base layer. Quite handy when glueing veneer over a
base board.

One with a bearing diameter greater than the diameter of the cutter.


How much greater?

Piece of 6mm mdf gripping the wood from below via 2 half inch nails.


What wood?

If you mean how to join square edged planks into a stair tread, then
glue and biscuits will work well.

Must be easy.


Probably is, but I think some detail is escaping my grasp at the moment.
