Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Moulding Shelf

Once you have measured the length of the front and side borders of the floating your shelves, mark your line of cut on the moulding. Do not apply moulding to the back of your shelf, as it will need to rest flush against the wall. We chose to miter cut the moulding to give the edges of the shelf a nice, finished look. Fit your Dremel Saw-Max tool with a SM600 Wood and Plastic Flush Cutting Wheel. Once you have measured the length of cut you will need, rest your miter guide, 45 degree angled edge above the mould mark your cut. Now, slide the guide back just slightly, leaving 1/8" of space between your intended cut and the guide to account for the offset of the blade. Clamp the guide down and make your cut.
