If you really must do this with a router, I'd buy a dovetail bit (*with a 1/2" shank*) and have a machinist regrind it to match. But this job really wants to be done on an over-arm router, or even a shaper. Do I gather you're milling this out of a solid panel, or making your layers individually and then gluing them up? John Hartman had an excellent article in the PTJ a few years ago. Are you a subscriber? Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G. "There are fifty ways to screw up on this job. If you can think of twenty of them, you're a genius......and you aint no genius" ...........Mickey Rourke to William Hurt, in "Body Heat", discussing arson. BTW, not referring to anyone in particular (with the possible exception of myself). +++++++++++++++++++++
