I am doing a piece where pretty much every visible edge is beveled 45 degrees. For the parts that are coming in contact with people and are open to the air I’m going to use a router because I want to leave a slight flat face on the edges because if it came to a perfect edge I’m sure it will look like hell in 6 months.
But for the glue-ups for the panels - I’m conflicted. Do you all just run those through your table saw at 45 degrees or take another approach? I’m envisioning having to make up a sled to run the width of those panels through at 45 degrees. Another option was using a router and 45 degree bit - I think more precise on a router table which is pretty much the one thing I don’t have.
I’m having nightmares of tiny issues with fit trying to glue up a long bevel like that. I did it one time with a kitchen island and I promised never again.
Looking for some best practices from some experts here to avoid having to fix mistakes later.
