Was listening to an Jim Heavey (WW-Shows) say that he "knocked down" all
corners/edges with a router--because finishes don't adhere to them very
well. He also routes around inset cabinet doors (frames?) to help
allow for wood movement while preserving the appearence. Are both of
these approaches SOP? Thank you for further clarification! I'm sorry
if this is on topic! ; )

Well knocking down the corners is SOP, with a router ??? well you don't
have to use a router. Many times I use a block plane, I like the edge
better. But I do have a 1/8 radius bit in my old 1/4 " Craftsman (45-50
year old router).

An edge is too sharp, it will wear off quickly since it does not hold a
lot of finish.
Relieving them allows them to survive longer, and decreases the pain
when one runs into a sharp edge.
