Is there a way to make very thin rabbet cuts... I'm talking 0.01" or maybe 1/128; 1/64th (0.016") is almost too big'
I.m wanting to fine tune a large hole.
One classic way of doing this is to use a precise Forstner and then use a precise rabbet (with bearing) for part of the depth and then use a flush trim bit to even up the hole.
Supposing you need a 2-1/2 and the closest is a 2-1/8 you have then you can follow with a 3/16 rabbet (half the diameter distance) to enlarge to 2-1/2
I need to sneak up on a dust fitting.by .02" steps so .01 depth rabbet would be nice. Multiple cuts and a flush trim after each can do that.
But how do I get a really thin rabbet with a router?
I have a rabbet set with a large number of bearing sizes but they are for larger fractional sizes.
