I am buildng my first set of inset door cabinets (face of door flush with face frame). I always order my doors but am a little nervous about sizng the doors. I’m using european hinges. What sort of reveal should I be after. 1/16th? 1/8th?? Any suggestions???

Anywhere between those two measurements will be fine. The important thing is to keep the reveal the same top and bottom, side to side and door to door. I did mine this way and it looks nice but it was a lot more time consuming.
Rustic looking , I go with a nickle gap, more elegant, a dime.

Worse comes to worse, order them a little big. Its a lot easier to remove material, than to add it.
