Groove for stringing on the legs

Tommy,

You have a Bosch Colt router right...why can't you use the Colt with a 1/16" bit with the fence the came with your router to cut the groove for the stringing on the legs. The bit I have is a Amana Tool #45190, which is a 1/16" straight plunge bit with a 1/4" shank. I don't remember where I purchase the bit...maybe at the Amana Tool website.

I tried it on a piece of scrap and it seems to work. I had to hold the fence on the face away from me and angled the base on the wood then lowered the other side of the bit into the wood. Also found that at the end of the cut, turn the router off before lifting worked best.
