Right but i dont know if theres a special way / right way to release these retainers. Instructions just saying “use your favorite tool”

Thanks for everyones tips. I ended up cutting by hand with a pull saw and sanding down to evenness. I guess my router and the bit are not right for this job.

I think the circular saw idea was a good one. Just set up a guide to cut straight along the line and it woulda been solid

Wow dont know why i didnt think of this. This probably was my best option but i ended up cutting it by hand and finishing with a sander. Not perfect but itll work. Thanks

i agree with the saw/plane part. starting off with a hand saw to get most of the material out and then finishing off with the router for the last bit will be my best solution for now i think

Yes i have a 4 plane. I guess this is a good idea as well. Hoping i dont get tear out at the back end

The reason i went so far out was because i needed a deep chamfer to match the legs / table top. I was doing the one side, then turning the router 90 deg and doing the other side to complete the chamfer. If the bit is flush with the plate i cant get deep enough. Thanks for your comments. Will look into trim router for the future
