Has anyone ever used an router set up in an jig to scarf plywood to
make longer panels for an boat? Please advise if it is feaseable.
Thanks for any Help.


It is feasable. It's also rather tedious. Alternatives are a
circular saw with a jig (very fast, but limited to thin ply);
a handplane used freehand (simple, and fairly quick on thinner
pieces); a powerplane used freehand (quick, easy to get carried
away and plane more than intended); or a belt sander (hard to
be accurate with).

I do mine with a handplane. If I was doing a lot, I'd probably
go for a circular saw jig.
