Can any one lead me in the correct direction (or method) for joining a 2" wide frame (door(s) for a bathroom vanity) what will be later be edge routed with a design router bit ?
Currently have a biscuit joiner (fraud something, a cheap one) and it will not correctly cut FF slots (ff size will work for this project) - can get the depth by tweaking the adjustment screw, but the width is two wide (wrong cutter dia.), but i think i can make it work.
Been searching around and see that MLSC has round biscuits which seam like they would be ideal, but im alittle hesitant on getting something (biscuits and router bit) that is only produced by one manufacture/source.
So...
Are there any other small/round biscuits out there or a better method about doing this ? I like to "build to last" so i would like something more then just glue and i can see down the road nails or screw will not be an option and i think a small "block" on the back side of the door where the corners join will kind of look like crap once its done.
As you can probably tell, im new to this :)
Any guidance would be great.
