The routing was done with the Maslow but not the way your thinking, I used the Maslow to build myself a router table that accepts the sled upside-down. It works pretty good actually. Thread Don’t buy a Router table, build one
If I was building this project again I would make sure to get plywood without a laminate surface. I would also use the router to drill pilot holes that I would later drill out for the dowels. My Maslow cut the dowel holes a little to small, better small than bigger I guess, but because the holes were already nearly 1/2 in, the desired size, I wasn’t able to use my wood boring drill bit. Instead I used a bit designed for metal which chipped the sides of the holes a little.
