This second part of the thread is about resawing aromatic cedar slabs for use as a drawer lining material.
More importantly, it's about using the MFS to route out BB ply to receive the cedar strips and then the MFS is reconfigured and screwed to the BB ply and it then becomes a jig to notch the ends of the cedar strips. The cedar strips are then installed in the drawers and the front & rear cedar strips retain the side strips without using fasteners or adhesives. If you want to remove the cedar for some reason, you simply lift them out.
A couple of aromatic cedar slabs 8/4 thick and 9" x 70". After being resawn and cut to approximate size, each strip measures .280-.295" thick.

After going through the planer, each strip is now .246"-.248" thick. Although tough to tell here, there are 2 different widths, 4 1/8" and 6 1/8".

The BB ply has already been notched out to a width of 6 1/8" at a depth of .248".

A photo of the BB after the MFS has been removed. The 2 mounting holes used are circled in green ink while it's also noted that the MFS 200 was used in these positions. The actual opening size of the MFS has already been noted in a notebook and along with a couple of photos, If I need to route a few more strips, it becomes a simple process to set up the fixture again.

The 4 1/8" wide cedar strip is placed in the fixture while a 2" filler strip is placed next to it on the RH side. It will be slid all the way into position so that it also offers edge protection to the routed strip to help prevent the edge from chipping.
