I needed to create a mortise (15mm or ca. 3/5") wide in some thin (8mm or ca. 1/3") and narrow (20mm or ca. 4/5") stock.
After thinking a bit about it and trying to rout it freehand, I settled on using a 15mm forstner bit and cleaning it up with a chisel.
I can't explain why, but I just like the very clean look that is easily achieved with a router. It can of course be obtained by the method above, but it takes me longer.
Is there an easy and fast (and safe!) way to do this with either a freehand router (Bosch GMF 1400, Festool OF1010 or Festool OF1400) or a router table?
By the way - the stock is approx. 38cm (or ca. 15") long.
Thanks,
Niels
