I'm from the engravers section of the forum but need some help with soemthing from over this neck of the woods I think (I am no woodworking expert so the chances are this is a very basic query).
I have attached a picture to give an idea what I am after but will explain too.
I am making a base for some acrylic to stand in, this is not too much of a problem as I can router out the space I need for that, however, underneath the acrylic I want to place an LED strip, however the acrylic will either be 3mm or 5mm and the LED strip is about 10mm wide and maybe 3mm high.
So how do I go about creating that that type of cut underneath the length of my 3mm or 5mm router cut I have done for my acrylic for the LED strip to slide in? Obviously making the router cut 10mm means that the acrylic then has a big lean on and I want it to be stood firm upright. Is there a special bit I can put on the end of the router once I have made the initial cut for the acrylic to then go underneath it to do the other cut?
