Been lurking for a while, first post.
Anyone have experience with using 5.2mm plywood in frame and panel furniture. I really like to cut my slots with the router, but have found that 5.2mm is a lot smaller than my 1/4" straight bit. MLCS sells 5.2mm bits (They also sell 5.2mm slot cutters). So here is the question. 1. If you use a 5.2mm bit or slot cutter will that create a slot that is too small for the ~5.2mm plywood +glue +plywood thickness variation? the 5.2 I have been using is bookmatched birch and seems pretty consistent. 2. What would be better a router bit or a slot cutter. Seems like a slot cutter gives you more wood on the table but also seems like the more treacherous to use. Some additional info 5.2mm = .2047238" Size of the plywood 3/16" = .1875" Clearly too small 7/32" = .21875" perhaps an option but it is hard to find this bit. 13/64 = .203125" Just a little too small doesn't seem like this would leave space for glue.
