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:

Not sure what you mean by a mitre . . . a mitre gauge? Google up and post a piccie and we'll be in the same page!

Learning new tricks it half the fun, never denigrate your efforts if you're making an honest effort. Skills take time, patience and practice to develop . . . and lots of practice pieces to chew up!

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 think I might just use a large metal ruler and the drum sander bit. I'm confident I can rabbet the edge decently.

Sounds more like a way to sand your fingertips off to me . . . check out:

Looks like you could do a small scale overhead pin-router table with that thing, but you only need to rig up a router table to get GREAT results.

That's the ONLY thing that ever tempted me to enter Dremel's little world (product niche) and make a purchase, but I've got an industrial router and somebody gave me a nice Craftsman Router. I've got pneumatic die grinders and most of the air tools known to man that'll run off a job site compressor. There are some that require too many CFM a/o too high a pressure, so my collection isn't as extensive as I'd like, but reading labels is one sure way for me to curb the ole toy buying addictions.

BTW, I live in a two bedroom apartment too . . . more like a 3 1/2 room design studio w/half of a really nice kitchen. [] ]'>
