: I was free handing it with the rotary hole saw, the guide couldn't go to
: that shallow of a depth but I was able to make a very straight line
: holding it at an angle against the depth guide, I wonder if a router would
: have too much horsepower to remove little amounts with control? Hmmm maybe
: I better go back to Home depot and check out a trimmer as Mathwew

Hey Lee

You'll find that the router gets a bit ( no pun intended ) easier to handle with the smaller bits and shallower cuts. Just keep your arms/wrists on the project to steady the tool and take out very shallow cuts, which is what you were looking at anyway. You should be able to handle it..... with some practice. I don't think that buying a laminate trimmer will be justified by a small job like that. But, that's a personal issue isn't it??? :)
