I use a spiral router bit http://www.routerbits.com/cgi-routerbits/sr.cgi?1200665406_31089+9 to cut the bass foot of the soundboard free when the design calls for it. Cuts pretty easily through the panel and two layers of hard maple. They have every size under the sun. Likely about the same thing Ron has a link for. They work real well. I don't use it for soundboard removal though, I like the release of pent-up aggression when I whack the thing out with a 2x4!
