Project Steps
- Detach raised panel cabinet door from cabinet.
- Attach MM463 Cutting Blade to Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool.
- Plunge blade into cabinet door along outer edge of the raised panel you wish to remove. (Tip: Use the side of the panel or any molding as a straight edge to maintain a straight, even cut.)
- Working slowly, continue to carefully plunge the blade along all four sides of the interior panel until it is free from the door.
- Remove the wooden panel from the door.
- Working from the interior side of the door, use the Dremel Trio with TR800 Straight Edge Guide and a TR654 Straight Router Bit to rout a recessed edge to place a glass panel into. Making multiple passes with an increased cutting depth to achieve the required depth is recommended.
- Attach MM11 Hook and Loop Pad and 240-Grit MM70W Wood Sand Paper to tool.
- Sand along cut line to smooth any rough spots.
- Attach glass panel to back of cabinet door using silicone adhesive or mirror mounting hardware. Mirror hardware requires additional routing to secure hardware.
- Once dry, reattach cabinet door to cabinet.
Safety reminder: When working with a Dremel brand tool or any other power tool, always wear eye protection and a dust mask, and read and understand the owner’s manual prior to using.
