I am going to try not to sound dumb so please bare with me. I am trying to add wood trim to my cabinets in order to get more of a painted shaker style look. I have the same cabinets throughout my house so making them work is my only option at this point. The oak trim at the top and bottom of the doors will stay and I don't want to sand it down, however it is 3/32" over flush with the melamine. What I would like to do is use 1 1/2" x 1/4" lattice molding to frame out each of the drawers and door fronts. My problem is I would need to create a rabbet to cover the existing oak molding and am having trouble figuring out how to set up a hand router as well as finding the appropriate bit size.
Based on the second image I believe the dimensions I am trying to achieve are a width of 3/4" and a depth of 3/32". If this is sounds right what size rabbeting bit do I need to achieve this? I have purchased a 1/4" trim router that I planned to use. Will this work? Thank you for any and all help! :smile:
