How Can I Trim My Face Frame by Just 1/4″?

Asked By xYn4rJaQ9 On

Hey everyone! I'm working on fitting a piece inside my cabinet, but I've accidentally made my face frames about 1/4" too large. I've got a trim router, and I'm wondering if there's a way to trim just a little off the face frame without taking it all the way to the interior surface. I can do this on the non-hinge side, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up since it's already attached. Any advice would be super helpful. Thanks!

You might want to try using a flush trim bit to trim it down to the cabinet’s interior surface, but just be careful. Depending on how your hinges are set up, going too flush could interfere with the door functionality. It might be better to measure carefully and only take the 1/4" off you need without going all the way to flush.
