MFK 700 set up for trimming solid edging

[Carpe Diem]

I am looking for advice for an upcoming kitchen cabinet project using 10mm thick solid edging on pre finished plywood. What is the ideal set-up for an MFK 700 to trim 10mm thick solid edging on pre finished plywood?

I assume trimming in the horizontal position is preferred but which base? 0 or 1.5 degrees? If I was using thin edge banding than 1.5 degree would be preferred but due to the 10mm thick edging should I use the zero degree base? I don't want a gap between cabinets upon installation. Make sense?

Any other advice or tips?

0 degree if it's that thick and you don't want it to look like a trapezoid. I'd prefer a bearing and a light touch, myself.

0º base with this router bit.

Using a bit without a bearing gives the advantage of having the bit sharpened and not affecting the flush cutting function of the bit. In the 700 you can adjust the base for the diameter change after the bit has been sharpened.

Why use such thick edging ?

With such wide edging a 1,5 dg slope might look nice

Use the 1.5 degree base and route with the cutter slightly higher than the panel (.2 mm works). Use a sander with a blue pad and sand flush, there is no evidence of the 1.5 degree angle. I do this with all my flat panel doors using thicker edging. In the pic the doors are Pommele Sapele veneer panel with a 3/8" Sapele edge.
