I bought this based on the previous review. I am building some drawer units with 1/2” plywood edge with 1/2×1/2 Oak strips. When I have done this in the past, it has taken a lot of time to get the oak even with the plywood.
With the Little Lipper it was a very fast easy process. I did have to drill a hole in the bottom plate of the router but this was easy. For a router bit, I used a 3 cutter Freud bit and it left a smooth cut. I wish that I had this in the past.

How does it work, and what does it add to the flush trim bit that you’re already using? Guess I’m a little confused.

You will be less confused if you go to the FastCap site and watch the video.

Long ago I did that with a belt sander. Worked ok, but I wrecked a few shelves sanding through the oak veneer. I’ve never been much of a router man. I took a look at the videos on fastcap site. Looks like this would be a great help. Much better than trying to register the router base against the edge of a 3/4 thick board.

Thanks for this review! This is a very helpful tool.
I see how the white bearing part works, but what is the red flange for?

The original version did not have the red flange. It helps keep your hand out of the router bit.
