I have a curved edge table top, and I need to route a shallow channel to accept inlay banding on the edge of the table top, as is common in federal style pieces. Presumably, I need a really shallow slot cutting type bit with a bearing that can be guided along the table edge and that will cut a channel of the right width (or smaller w/ multiple passes). I haven't been able to find one. Any sources for such a router bit, or alternative techniques to cut the channel?
If the table edge were straight, I'd just use a slot cutting bit with a router edge guide. The curve makes things more difficult.
Thanks!
