Can this be trimmed down with a router bit or do you have to have it exact before you glue it,as I'm thinking this might be good for my sleeper idea
(temporary thread jack) I priced out sleepers from this place in the states and starting price was 1800 bucks then I'd still have to modify it for what I want and shipping was a fortune....ok back to Mikes thread

A Freud 42-118, 3/4" flush trim bottom bearing bit slows it down and it cuts like butter.
It has a 1/2" shank so you'll need a 1/2" Colette if your router doesn't have one.Danny

I'm confused (which isn't a new thing). A 3/4" bit will have a higher speed at the cutting edge than a 1/2" diameter bit. Do you slow down the router with the 3/4" bit.
Thanks,

That 7/8's inch molding looks wonderful. Very classy!
Is that the standard way of doing aluminum, or are there other methods?

Do you have a closeup of your edge molding that goes between the wall and the roof?
Also, do you have a close up of your molding where you hide the horizontal wall seam?
Thanks,
