dumb advice
you can NOT get a router into the backsplash cove.
obviously you have never done this before.
sooooooooo...........shut the f-up.


Umm...given that you are cutting with a circ saw from the back...why
can't you use the router from the back as well?

Chris

The problem with that is that neither the front lip, nor the integral
backsplash are flat on the backside. A router would hang up trying to get
over the lips. And to make things worse, they aren't going to be 90 degree
cuts, front to back. It needs to be .25 narrower in back, so nothing will
be cut square to the front edge.
