James,

The problem with this jig is that is you vs. the router. It is unsafe in that if you do not have a good grip on the top or back and the router bit digs in too far, zing, it will go for a ride. This is also why I made the jig just big enough to fit the top and back. If the back does take off, it doesn't have far to go until it stops on part of the jig and your fingers would have a lot of trouble getting in there with the bit. You will need a plunge router and a long bit for this. The bit I am using in the photos is too short. That is why I have the little booster board under the back in the first photo.

Seems like it would work just as well or easier holding the router and guiding it by hand. I do the outer cut like that but I never thought of removing more by stepping like your doing. Next time I'll try it. Now that I think of it, that only works with flat boards where your setup would work with flat or wedges.
