<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHowever, I’m still in the rough-cut mode so I’ll leave it at 24″ for now. The next step I do to speed up the process is stacking the two halves on top of each other. This allows me to rough cut the height of the cabinet which is 34 1\/2″ at twice the speed. I use my DIY straight edge or Track Saw to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After cutting the number of needed sides I switch to using my panel sled for my table saw to cut the sides down to their final dimensions. This sled which is easy to make has a very long runner that fits into my table saw’s miter track which allows the sled to extend beyond the infeed area of my saw yet maintain squareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I cut all the sides down to their final sizes using one side as a reference so the tops and bottoms are parallel with each other and square to the one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My next step is to draw our reference lines on one side panel so I can ensure everything is correct before making all the cuts since I’m going to making the same cut on each side and then switching to the next cut repeating the process. This allows for consistent cuts on each side panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I double-check everything is going to look fine using a small face frame before starting any cuts using scrap material. As it does, I’m ready to begin the side-cutting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now ideally you’ll start with any cross-grain cuts on the veneer. For me, this would be the bottom shelf dado. This if you’re cutting a rabbit on the back of the side panel for the back to slide into it will clean up any tear-out. I however did not do this. I cut the rabbit first and then the dado so I had to cut the bottom shelf dado very slowly and carefully to avoid tear-out along the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I threw my sacrificial fence on my rip fence since I was going to bury part of my dado blade into it to cut that back panel dado. Then after cutting that, I removed the sacrificial fence and proceeded to cut the bottom shelf dados after double-checking and dialing in the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With all the side panels rabbits and dados cut I end up with mirrored side panels which you can fold together to visualize how things will lay out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always if you have any questions or comments post them below or on my YouTube <\/a>video comments section and I’ll do my best to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve included a few Amazon Links<\/a> below for the equipment and materials I used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.snaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/straight-edge-setup-1024x550.jpg\")
