I need to cut a slot into an existing table top to apply a hardwood edge, either with a spline or tongue/groove the hardwood. The tabletop is 1 1/2" thick, so the slot could be 1/4 inch or bigger. I plan to use a slot cutter with handheld router for this - but is this safe? How to I prevent tipping the router base? Apply an aux base with a longer side over the tabletop? Any advice will make me feel safer...
