Thanks guys!
I had to look up what a “climb cut” was!

I’ve used a router this way before, didn’t know it was called a climb cut. Since I’m taking so little material off, this should be easy to control.

Wdwerker- scoring with a razor seems like a great idea too!

I’ve got at at least 4 inches to cut off (planer sniped ends) so I can practice before I get to the real cut.
