BR214X Tonk Flat Shelf Strip Recess Router Cutter

The BR214X is a router cutter for machining the stepped recess in cabinet timber that accommodates Tonk flat shelf strips. It prepares the cabinet side for recessed adjustable shelving, rather than cutting a metal strip to length. Choose it when planning a flat-strip installation in bookcases, cabinets or shelving furniture.

Purpose and Benefits

Recessed flat strips sit within a prepared groove instead of standing proud of the cabinet side. This cutter is the preparation tool for that stepped recess. It belongs to the installation stage, before fitting the strip and selecting the shelf clips, and is not itself a shelf support.
