You'er Welcome Mike

And thanks,, but do try one of your R & S bit sets I think you will be amazed and easy it is to do.. and how well it comes out and you had the bit set all long works great on a plywood edge becasue as you know plywood is undersize....stock..but do use feather boards to hold it down and to the fence also use wider stock and then rip it to size after, in that way you can do 2 parts at one time so to speak...(banding) plywood is no big deal but do use a board (clamp to the fence) or feather board to hold the plywood down to the table top, note it must be done in one pass.

Just a note***most R & S bits have a bearing on them use it to set the fence, some come with only one bearing on one bit, use that one 1st, use a stop block on the back side of the fence to get it back to the same point after you switch the bits out, you can also use some masking tape or a pencil to mark the table top so you can get the fence right back to the same place after the bit change...

Once you do it a time or two you will always put banding on your projects becasue it's so easy to do and it puts that nice touch to the project..

Open/End grain is always nasty looking and it's one of the hard things to finish on any project..but once it's banded it's clean..
One of the neat things about using R & S bit's no fasterns are needed it's self locking so to speak ,if you pull one shim out of the bit ,,,,,(the female bit)

Just one more note***** if you send off for one of the bit sets (door sets) besure to check the nuts on the bits b/4 you use them, I didn't I forgot to and one did spin just a bit ,it's going to remove alot of stock in one pass and it needs to be real tight... I got a bit noise and I said what the hell and it was the nut that had come free...
