I am at a point where it's time to start making drawers for a dresser. I am looking forward to making the drawers and using the PC 4212 DT jig. All are firsts for me.
I would like to make raised drawer fronts like the ones made by Brad Schmid (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showpost.php?p=358735&postcount=8). In fact, I am making the same dresser. Here are my questions:
What should be minimum thickness of the drawer front be if I raise it? I am afraid that I may run into a problem since the DT jig can handle stock thickness up to 1 1/8". I guess I can always make a through DT and glue a false raised panel front.
Another problem that I am facing is the drawer opening... the left side of the opening is a 1/16" wider than the left side. Does that mean that I have to go with lipped drawer fronts?
