I think you mean "rabbet" the edge . . .

. . . as that's the name for the joint you've done in ASCII art (nice job, btw [;)] ]'>) if I'm interpreting it correctly.
Yes, that's it. But don't you use a miter to follow the edge and cut it? Maybe I was thinking of a router. Crap. Shows how much I know about what I'm doing. :lol:

I think the two paleolithic 15" AIOs I've been toying around with must be 575s, can't remember offhand, looks kinda like a Big@$$ StereoCC w/wings?
Yeah, the 550, 575, and 580. They look like a Color Classic on steroids.

Have you got any adapters to mount your dremel to a board for a micro-router-table setup?
Unfortunately I live in an apartment. My options are pretty limited. I'd like to do that. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing, but I bought a Dremel XPR because it was the only one on sale. Couple days ago I found out that my XPR is the only Dremel that you can put an adapter on and turn it into a saw. 8-o I lucked out, this thing is crazy versatile. I bet there's a router setup for it, too. I'll probably go to he hardware store and take a look, maybe cash in on some of the holiday deals going on.

I'll start a "Hacks" thread w/pictures of what I did and how I home-brewed a router table to rabbet some plastics the way you appear to need to do. Just gotta right-(down)-size some 10 MP piccies of the two projects.
Thanks. Although I think I might just use a large metal ruler and the drum sander bit. I'm confident I can rabbet the edge decently.

Anybody know of a light-weight GraphicConverter type image editor for ubuntu on a 2GB RAM upgraded NetBook?
Give GQView a try.
