Not for skirtings. The size of the individual curves is too big for a
router cutter.
You're right to say a complex moulding in one pass on a router table
is more than they're capable of.
But a combination of cutters and cuts can do a lot.
For instance - I've used 25mm radius cutters in my router & table -
two passes & flipping the board over to do half-rounds/nosings on 50mm
thick board for stair treads.
Of course a spindle moulder could have done the whole thing in one
pass, but for modest quantities (and possibly cleaning up
imperfections between the cuts by hand) a lot can be done with routers
and tables.
