The infeed fence on my router table is replaced with an 1/8" thinner version. The same thing could be accomplished my shimming out the out feed fence

Chip Free Melamine
Here is a way that I came up with to alleviate melamine chipping when you are not using a CNC or a scoring blade. Most of the time you can hide chipping by turning the chips out to an unexposed area however on things like shelving and euro cabinets it can be difficult if not impossible to conceal them
The key to the set up is a compression cutter. The bottom of the bit is an upshear while the top is set up as a down shear. This particular bit is a Onsrud 60-569 4 flute compression spiral

The parts are cut 1/8" oversize and then run through the cutter

Bergy says throw money at it till it stops sucking. (there is a joke in there some where :laughing
60 bucks will stop the pain if you have everything else.:thumbsup:
Gus I am still kind of mad at you for sharing your homemade lipping planer idea after I spent all my money on a Virutex. I will be keeping my edgebanding secrets to myself until after you are up and running. Might I suggest a nice Homag 3mm machine with a sizing station and an 8 rack magazine,CNC controlled of course......:thumbup:. Why to you need a premill anyway?
Here is what I was using this particular set up for, a melamine built in closet organizer

Bass, Don't worry the weather will get better in about six months. You can work on becoming a cyber version of the late great Sam Maloof in the meantime :notworthy
