There are certain applications where it would be nice to not have to
worry about blow-out when template routing.
What about the bits with bearings on both ends?

Switch from top to bottom pattern in seconds.

That's definitely an option. It just seems like it'd be so nice to be
able to set up your template once, clamp your workpiece once, and just
grab the router you need at the time. Especially for larger pieces.
Now it's a mission to find one!


On that note, you could also equip one router with a top bearing and the
other with a bottom. You'd still have to unclamp, but you have to
switch routers anyway.

Clamping can be made faster with holdfasts, wedges, or quick clamps.
