Here is another use of the OPR and a common router attachment to make shapes. The "shape" part is mounted to a base and sits upside down so to speak on the OPR table with either a pin or guide bushing to ride on. )It could be the standard pins are to high so you might have to be creative??)
Here are some of the shapes they offer:

What I did here was a simple cut with a round nose bit but other bits can be used.

You can also do inlays... see post:

The hard part is getting the cut to go where you want it. It is easier to use the template as intended if you are going to do only one or two, and save the OPR setup for times when getting a fixture figured out makes since do to the number of piece you are doing.
