Does anyone have an idea of how to use a finger pull bit with a router table? More specify I need to route a semi circle on the edge of a door.<!—-> <!—-><!—->

The only option I could think of is using the router freehand with a guide bushing, and then moving the curved template to make progressively deeper cuts. <!—-><!—->

That sounds hard and dangerous.<!—-><!—->

cut the arc needed first with a jigsaw or coping saw.
follow that edge with your finger pull bit.

Don't use the router table for this.
Make a template to guide the router, either by its base or using a guide bearing. Either way will work. You can use a straight bit to clear most of the area before switching to the finger-pull bit for the final profile. Take the last pass from both sides "downhill" so as to minimize tearout.
