Hi all. I need to cut a 40mm solid beech worktop with the end to fit against a wall which curves out - probs about 30mm longer at the back than the front. I need to use my router for this, using incrementally deeper cuts, right? Freehand cut will not end well I imagine.

Writing this I think I just figured out that I should scribe the curve onto a piece of ply and use that as a guide for the router. Is that right? Cheers

I'd draw directly onto the tabletop with a scribe compass and then cut it with a jigsaw with a quality blade. Or do it on a scrap piece of ply first, cut it out, make sure it fits perfectly and then transfer to the tabletop and jigsaw away.

I keep reading that jigsaws will inevitably wander on a thick piece of solid worktop though - is that not your experience?
