   I'm not sure I completely understand what you'd like to do and what the problem is. Can you illustrate your question with a digital photo, and explain in more detail what you'd like the edge to ultimately look like?

   Matt,

   I guess I should have put in the question that the bevel stops about 3 inches from the wall. That is when the router base hit the wall, the bevel stops.

   Thanks,

   Then I assume your end goal is to continue the bevel all the way to the wall. If that's the case, you don't have too many options short of removing the countertops to provide clearance for the router.

   The first thing that comes to mind is to continue the bevel by hand all the way to the wall. To do this you first need to mark out the material that will be removed. Do this by continuing the lines where the bevel meets the countertop surface and the front edge. First use a pencil and a straight edge. Then scribe the line with a marking knife. The scribe will prevent tearout when you go to cut the excess material away.

   Once you've determined the area to be removed go at it with a chisel and then a hand plane to smooth the bevel surface. If you are not practiced with hand tools, now's your chance to learn. You will save yourself a considerable amount of time using hand tools as opposed to coming up with an elaborate jig.

   Matt,

   Thanks for the reply. I wanted to hear from a pro about how to do this. I am handy with hand tools so it looks like I get to do 6 of these.

   Thanks,

   Greg
