I'm working on building a gate, and cutting mortises for the slats with a
1/2" bit in the router. The slats are also 1/2".If I trim the corners using my trusty pocket knife, I tend to get a shallow cut at the top and a deeper cut at the bottom. Using the router (a router/shaper really) seemed to do the rounding job quite well, but left a lot of fuzz behind.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to trim the corners?

Why push on a rope?
Use a 10" flat bastard file and break the corners on the tenons?
You won't significantly reduce the glue surface area, and life will get a whole lot simpler.

It sure will! I knew I had the wrong tool for the job, it was just taking too much effort.
I'll get the file out, trim the corners and be off and running.
Thanks!
