Tight radius flush router tool
« on: Yesterday at 10:04 PM »
Hi all,

I’m looking for a tool recommendation. I’ve installed these windows in my Expedition trucks. Once installed I need to trim the fiberglass so it’s flush with the inside.

I used a dewalt router to do the accessible parts but it’s not possible to do the corners and around the lock.

Any recommendation would be appreciated…

Cheers

Ben

A jig like this possibly?  I’m not sure how the fiberglass behaves when getting cut.

A multi-tool (like a Fein one, etc) will make easy and quick work of that. And if you use a thin metal strip for protection on the outside of the lip you can then let the blade sit flush with that to get a really straight and crisp edge.

A little practice and you can get amazingly accurate and great results on very fiddly work with a multi-tool!

Oh yeah that makes sense, I have both of these in my workshop!
