Trim Tabletop and Route Edges

What happens here

After the tabletop panels, including the breadboards, have fully dried and cured, use a track saw to make precise, straight cuts to bring the tabletop to its final desired dimensions. This ensures perfectly square and clean edges. Next, set up a router with a desired bit (e.g., a chamfer bit for a clean bevel, or a round-over bit for a softened edge) and carefully route all exposed edges of the tabletop. This step not only adds a finished look but also removes any sharp corners, enhancing safety and comfort.

Goal: Once the tabletop and breadboards are securely attached and dry, use a track saw to trim the entire tabletop to its final dimensions. Afterwards, use a router to create a smooth, consistent edge profile, such as a chamfer or round-over, on all edges of the tabletop.
