Hello fellow Festoolians,
I recently moved and am now in the middle of fitting the kitchen.
We decided for a hardwood worktop (birch, maybe not that hard...) to match the kitchen.
I was lucky to find a slightly used APS900 on eBay to help me justify the purchase. There were some dings and cuts in the guiding part, which I was able to completely fill and smooth out again with liquid aluminium.
Now to my concern, since I cut all the worktops in different depths to accommodate for the varying circumstances of walls, plumbing etc. I am a little concerned about alignment of the joints.
Do I need to make sure that the worktops are an exact match in depth for the referencing?
Or is there some „wiggle room“ once the connectors are in?
I will use Dominoes for alignment, one mortise tight, the other one a bit wider on the DF500.
Also:
My plan for finishing is to get the whole worktop out of the kitchen, assemble everything on sawhorses, sand in assembled state, then oil.
Any thoughts?
How would you do the roundover/chamfer? Assembled in one piece or everything separately?
Thank you all for any input!
Uli
