I have some projects coming up that I'd like to try adding solid wood to plywood for the edging, at least on the front for shelves. I'm pretty much exclusively working in the Festool system. No planer, jointer, table saw. Having never done this before I was looking for some advice.
Can I just pickup a wide board from the home centers to give my OF 1400 something to register on, get the 486058 Edging Plate, 486052 Angle Arm, and some kind of slot bit dovetail/T&G/etc, center the router on the ply horizontally and rout it then do the same on the solid wood with the mating router bit? Then rip off a section of the solid wood to glue into the ply, and finish it off with a flush trim bit horizontally and I'd have to do both sides since it would probably sit proud of the ply on both sides? And finally rip the glued up edged plywood to width with my TS 55?
I've watched some videos on the process but usually they have access to nice S4S stock, router table, and it looks like they set the stock up flush to one face of the ply and only have to trim the opposite face with whatever tool they have like a lipping planer. The stuff I'd be buying for the solid wood is probably coming from HD/Lowe's so advice there as well is welcome. The plywood I'd source elsewhere.
Thank you for any insights/experience shared.
