Hi Bob,

Thanks for the suggestion. I had considered that, but too lazy today to go out in the bitter cold to buy a fine or extra fine belt!

I ended up trimming the splines really close to the frame with my RAS, and then gingerly fed the frame past a piloted bit on the router table. I only fed it from corner of frame to end of spline all the way around, then flipped the frame over, and repeated.

There was no tearout, so I guess it was fine. Just a really labor-intensive process to cut slots, make splines, and then glue them in and trim them!
