Router - and rebating
I've asked questions before about routers and had some very useful responses
which I shall peruse again on google. This is a rather specific question: I need to rebate a load of architrave so it sits cleanly over the plaster which is higher in places than the door frame, and also sits tight to the door frame. I can caulk between the architrave and wall but not between the architrave and the frame as the wood's on show. Need to rebate between 2-5mm or so over about a 40-50mm width (sounds like several passes). Would a job like this demand a router table or is it a case of clamping the wood down to a bench and using the router in hand held mode with its own fence guiding it along the wood. Architrave is 2.1m max by 70mm wide by 15mm thick (or less - it's chamfered). I ask, because I can choose a decent router fairly easily but choosing a table is something I'd rather put off for a bit I'm probably going for a lower end Trend. This will be the first of many jobs.
