How to shave a few millimetres of some wooden drawer fronts?

Well known fact

Even then its still moves a lot

Then you havent got ventilation under control. Open the windows for 10 minutes once a day...

It's only edge trimming so a router bit with a bearing on the right end and, say, the straight factory edge of a piece of ply or mdf as the guide. The ply/mdf is clamped to the draw top with the straight edge

Bwitha single bearingear in mind you can get trimming bits with bearings at the top, at the bottom or at both ends. For a one off a cheap bit can be obtained from amazon/ebay.

Make a simple router table. Fasten your router to a square of plywood with a centre hole for the cutter to protrude. This can be fastened to a bench or workmate with the cutter up. For a fence just use a piece of wood wide enough for the cutter fit within but thick enough not to distort. In the centre of the fence cut out a notch slightly deeper and wider than the cutter diameter. Line up the notch with the cutter and screw down one end of the fence to the plywood to act as a pivot. Pivot the fence till just enough of the cutter is beyond the fence to shave off what you require and clamp down the other end of the fence in this position. Using a couple of packers and a straight edge will make the above more accurate.

Switch on the router using the hold button to keep the switch on and simply push the material along the fence to shave off what is required.

WARNING This is a quick and dirty way to make a router table with no safety features so it goes without saying without any guards for protection and an exposed cutter keeping fingers etc. out of the way and employing PPE is essential.
