I just finished veneering my entire speaker and am looking for a way to cut the veneer around the driver recesses. I already used a flush trim bit to cut the veneer to the thru baffle diameter, but there is still an about a inch where the recess is. I have come up with two solutions so far.
Option A: I can buy the whiteside dado flush trim bit which only requires a 1/8 depth to use. Not sure if I have enough depth on the tweeter and mid to use it. Also, because the dado flush trim bit has no bearing, I am wondering if it will just burn the mdf around the entire cut out. Also, the 1/8" where there is not bearing I fear is spinning to fast and might just cut into the mdf and enlarge the driver recess diameter. Any idea if it that would happen?
Option B: I use a utility knife and cut real close to the edge to where it needs to be. I then use a circular piece of mdf with sandpaper on the edge of the circle as a sanding block and just finish the last 1/8 thats left.
I am open to other suggestions. Thanks for any help.
