Default Using templates: Sand or Rout to the line?

Which way do you do it? Rout to the line or sand to the line. I always
look back at how my TV buddies do it and it seems that Nahmie likes to
sand
to the line while Marks like to rout.


If I've already got the template made I generally rout it. Get
yourself a top and bottom bearing bit and you can flip the workpiece/
template over (assuming you've used carpet tape to attach it) and
won't have to worry about a climb cut at all.

Dam good tip!! That never occurred to me for some reason. Thanks!!
