Shaz,
Response from Shaz
First a comment about the drawing of the cutting sequence. Like you I would cut a rabbet at the top and I'd use the same setup to cut a dado down the centerline so I would have a rabbet for a back panel once the parts are separated.
This sounds like a good idea.
I understand the issue with metric plywood thicknesses and imperial dado stacks. I guess I would spend a little time with a caliper and some shims to set my dado stack. Once that's done, all the dados and rabbets for all the cases in the batch could be cut in one go with the only adjustment being to the rip fence.
This too sounds like a workable idea if the dado and rabbet are to be a major part of the construction.(This would be moot in the UK, by the way, where dado stacks are all but forbidden. Most table saws sold in the UK won't accept a dado set anyway.)
Next, to answer your question about the °. Hold the Alt key down while you type 0176 on the numeric keypad on the right end of your keyboard.
I tried this and everytime I got to the 7 my monitor reverted to the home page and erased my input, Maybe a clue? Maybe not.
I'm still trying to understand the reveal and scribing business. In the following drawing I've set the bevel to 45°. The front of that stile is 1½" wide. My question is, how much of that bevel will you plane away when scribing? Do you use a divider set at ¾" to run along the wall and get a line to scribe to?
I am glad you brought this up Dave, most of your concern is due to "Origination error from incorrect information on my part ". Use this, it is what will work. "SET BEVEL TO 22 - 35 dgrees max. with the stile face being 1 3/8". I plan to block plane off the bevel to plumb the cabinet, maybe ¼" in places. That will get us close to that 3/8" reveal on the left of the door when we use the full over lay hinges on that side.
Maybe I should be asking this: Is the ⅜" reveal on the side near the wall the minimum reveal?
Actually the 3/8" is the targeted reveal. There might be a bit more in some places do to the lack of flattness or lack or squareness of the wall?
Yes, correct and that is something we need just work with and go on.
My initial input of 45 degrees for the scribe was wrong as we can't cut the stile that way and still have ¾" nailed to the face of the plywood edge. Sorry to cause the confusion.
BTW, ½ is done with Alt+0189, ¾ is Alt+0190 and ⅜ is just copied out of the Character Map found under Programs>Accessories. You can also do ¼ (Alt+0188).
Thanks alot! for what may seem superfluous here. I really appreciate your considerate input.
