Kreg Owners' Community

Hi Community,

I'm building a patio cooler out of cedar I'm considering joining 7 panels together but I want to essensuate the panels but it's been a while since I used my router, I'm afraid it will alter my dimensions for the panel I'm building...

There is 2 parts to this chamfering :
4 panels, ultimately making a box for the cooler to sit inside
And a shelf for the bottom of the unit

Any ideas!!!

Ed,

It looks like you have a router table, so place a 45 degree chamfering bit in it, lower the bit so it sits only 1/4 inch or so above the table and set the fence 1/4 inch back from the tip of the blade. Run the boards through with the outside face (the side that will be outward and showing) down. Then when the boards are joined as shown in your earlier post each will have a 45 degree bevel forming a shallow "V" pattern.  As an alternative method, you can tilt the blade of your tablesaw to 45 degrees, then set the rip fence so only 1/4 inch or so gets cut off.  Your only trying to make a small bevel on the edge of the board.  This will provide the same effect.

Question, are these panels going to sit inside the opening on the sides and ends of the framework you've already completed?

Hope this helps, Don

I figured it out.. And it came out awesome... thanks

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
