A single cutter works fine. I hope you have a full size drill press. Run it
as slow as it will go. Clamp the workpiece securely (holding by hand is
HIGHLY not recommended). Also, use a backer board so the pilot is solidly in
something when the center piece is cut loose.

Well, I have a drill press but not a plunge router, so that might be a
solution. I am a bit concerned with just one cutter; seems like it would
be
unbalanced. That is not a problem?

Actually I have one like it with two cutters, but it will only do about
5".
I could remove one cutter and move the arm over an inch. I thought being
unbalanced would be a killer, but will try it. Thanks.

A little expensive but much faster to setup and use than router
route... if you have a drill press.

I need to cut a few, so spending a few dollars is not objectionable.
Any
