Hi tileart

You bet,,,, the router will do that job all day long,,,,you can do it with a hand router or a router table....

It's best to use a wide board and then just table saw the board to the size you need..

I have a couple of rental properties and it seems like every time I change tenants I end up replacing baseboards, door trim, etc. It's getting spendy! Just wondering if I would be able to cut strips of 1/2" or 3/4" MDF and route the top edges. I would be painting them plain white so perfect finish isn't that important.
