I have a chair that needs caning (up in the attic for about 5 years now) but I never thought about using a router to get the old spline out. Would you mind posting a few details like how you hold the router in location and so on?

Also would you mind tell us who makes the bit(s) you use? If you would rather not say that is OK too.

Thanks for the responce,
