: For kicks I just tried it on some scrap 4mm plywood. It doesn't
: matter if the blade deflects: with the thinnest kerf blade I had
: the resulting seam was huge (about 3/32" or about 1/2 the
: thickness of the plywood). It was an extremely sloppy joint.
: Nice idea though.

: I'll stick to my belt sander/hand plane if/when I ever have to
: scarf plywood. One of these days I might have to try my router
: with different-sized bushings.
: =D

Isn't this forum great? Suggest a method that is probably doubtful from the start and Dan does the experimentation for you saving you the trouble. I must try this function again. Thanks Dan....:-))
