Since I have never used a router before I was wondering If you might be able to give me some pointers.
I have to make my own birch cabinet moldings (since I cannot find what I need at the molding store). What I need is 3/4" thick trim with ogee edge.
-----
3/4" | <- routed edge

What I think I need to do route the ogee edge along the length of the board then rip that piece, and do it over again, until I have enough trim.
My question(s): This is probably best done on a table with fence? Is it possible to do it free hand? How to do this? I guess you would need to have some guide for the ball bearing to follow?
Finally which tool I need to get the job done (with safety and cost as consideration).
Thanks much.
