I have been using a router, but I want the top to overhang the side. So the side strip needs to be straight if I glue it on after the top. I could do the edge first, trim it and then do the top but too impatient to wait for the glue to dry. I would probably do it that way i was starting over but too late now. I now have some nice bench tops without laminate on the edges.
