Carpenter with a metal question for you Metalheads 🤘
Alright, here’s the deal. I’m a carpenter and I’m setting metal into wood. I’ve got a bunch of pieces routed with a 1/4” groove that’s supposed to take a piece of metal. Metal finally showed up and, of course, it’s just a hair too thick. I could probably press it in, but I’m worried I’ll end up cracking the wood or fighting it the whole way.
I’m only trying to lose about 1/64”–3/64” of thickness. The metal is roughly 1/4” thick and about 1” tall. What’s the easiest, cleanest way to take that little bit off consistently? Grinder, belt sander, flap disc, mill, or something else?, i have many of these to do, im just brainstorming about my options, thank you!
