Fitting full length end panel to kitchen units where there's a worktop overhang

Sponsored Links
Yikes! I would take the edging strip of and router it if possible, getting a clamp on the back edge is going to be a challenge thought.
I'm thinking of using a batten on the worktop as a guide for the router with the top drawer removed to get a clamp in to hold the front end of the batten and possibly use a suction clamp on the worktop to secure the back end of the batten against it and then trim the worktop with shallow passes slowly?
 
A piece of ply 12mm for the thickness of the collet, maybe 500mm wide with a 20 X 20 on the back edge will allow you to get more than one clamp on the front edge and where you are cutting back the upstand , you should be able to get a screw through that part, or the 20x20 longer, into the wall suitably packed out.
 
By the way doing it in a few passes will cause less stress and a neater cut, and of course a nice sharp cutter.

you could just use a plastic

looks like the square edge is also covered Anthracite

I thought as the frame looked white that 9mm of white would be OK

I just came accross this 'Vinyl wrap' that can be adhered to kitchen panels so perhaps I could get a full length cheap panel and stick a gloss Antharcite cover on instead of paying £140 for for a panel from the kitchen company!
However I would still want to trim off the worktop overhang as I don't think fitting a panel to the top and an edging strip or whatever to the bottom of the worktop would give a neat finish.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "20x20 on the back esge":confused:?

20mm X 20mm timber along the full length of the back edge overhanging the ply so you can fix to the upstand/wall.
You can fix up through the ply into the Batton .

If the ply is a good fit between the upstand and front edge of should help stop it moving, with a router there will be alot of stress on the ply.
