So my mom has a dining room table that has room for 2 leaves but it only came with one. She wants me to make an extra leaf for it and she wants it done in time for Easter Sunday Actually she said it's ok if I just get it cut to size and she'll use a table cloth so I don't have to complete yet. BUT, my dilemma... I used contact cement to glue 2 pieces of 1/2" MDF together to make a 1" thick top (like the existing) and then I will put the veneer over that. Can I use my 1 3/4hp router with a flush trim bit to cut the veneer the exact size? I know of those smaller palm-sized laminate routers like the Bosch Colt... would a full sized router like mine not have enough finesse and just tear up the edge? Sorry if the answer is obvious here, I haven't done much with veneers
