Hi Lenny, You certainly could. I have done it several times. I haven't had a pattern bit long but like it too though more often I use a slightly off sized pattern and a collar with a smaller quarter inch bit too.

So if I use a router table I could use my flush trim bits to follow the pattern. The pattern would be on top of my stock and since the bit is coming up from the bottom the flush trim bit would work correctly.

You follow the pattern with the bearing and the cutter shapes the work beneath the bearing and therefore beneath the pattern. A flush trim bit has the bearing at the business end of the cutter.

I have a 1/4" and a 1/2" flush trim bits in 1/2" shank.
