I am making trays that have end pieces 3/4" thick and measuring 4x15. I want to cut out handles on each end and expect to drill 1" holes 4 inches apart as the first step. Then I will connect the holes w straight lines and cut out most of waste w a jig saw cutting close to the line. I'd like to remove the rest of the waste and get a very straight line using a straight bit in the router table. Is this a risky operation? Once I have the straight lines cut, I intend to use a bearing guided round over bit to smooth the handles. Any suggestions appreciated.
