Thanks for any help or feedback on this.

Ray,
They say a picture says a thousand words. Try as I might, I have never figured out a way to rout the end of board, and not get it to creep, resulting in a lousy end. So I figured out how to do it, something that requires a miter slot in your router table.

You just have to make sure your miter slot is perfectly parallel with your fence. So it pays to square it up with your table. Rather than go find inch plus material for the top, required when removing material for a slot, I just glue up 2 3/4" panels.
