I bought a router table years ago thinking I would use it with profile jigs until it snacthed a piece of osage and slammed it into the wall and nummed my fingers for awhile  :scared:
Now I use it for forms. My bit has the bearing next to the table. You still want to saw as close to the line as possible before routing.

I tried once doing it by hand and knocked a big chunk off the end of my recurve form so I quit and went back to my drill press drum sander. I have the flush bit and router table so I want to try and use it for my next form.

That's the most important part.
well said Stic
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

I just cut out a form and sanded close to the line on my Rigid oscillating belt sander and I'll be dipped...it is smooth, flat where it needs to be  and square. Now I dont want to use the router!
